Types of Reactions (continued)

Double Replacement

A reaction that occurs between 2 ionic compounds.
Usually happens in solution
The positive ions (cation) switch places

Formula:

 

e.g. 1 Na2CO3 + 1 CaCl2 --> 1 Ca CO3 + 2 NaCl

If there is a change in state, there is a reaction.
If there isn't a change in state, there is no reaction.

Use the "Table of solubilities" to determine states:

1. Find the anion in the left hand column
2. Look for cation in the 2nd column
3. Follow its presence or absence to the word "soluble" or "not soluble"
4. If soluble, the compound is aqueous (aq); If insoluble, the compound is solid (s)

There is a NET reaction when precipitation occurs

The aqueous ions that are the same on both sides get cancelled

Example:

For double replacement reactions (including neutralization), some ions participate in the reaction while others does not 

Combustion

A reaction that involves burning air

Formula:

AB + O2 --> AO + BO

Example:

Neutralization

A special double replacement reaction where acids react with bases to produce water and ionic salt
Acids have an H as the cation; bases have OH as the anion
Both should be aqueous

Formula:

HA + BOH --> H2O + BA

Example:

Recap:


The 6 types of chemical reactions include:

1. Synthesis
2. Decomposition
3. Single replacement
4. Double replacement
5. Combustion
6. Neutralization

Types of Reactions

Synthesis
A reaction that combines 2 or more reactants to form a product
Formula:

Ex. 2 Ag + S  Ag2S
      4 Fe + 3 O2  2 Fe2O3


Decomposition
A reaction that breaks down one reactant into 2 or more products
Formula:

Ex. 2 KClO3  2 KCl + 3 O2
Single Replacement (Displacement)
A reaction when one element replaces an ion in an ionic compound. Metal elements replace positive ions and non-metal elements replace negative ions.
Formula:
A + BC --> AC + B           (A = metal)
A + BC --> BA + C           (A = non-metal)
Ex. 2 AgNO3 + Cu  Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag
      2 KI + Cl2  2 KCl + I2


The element doing the replacing has to be higher on the Activity Series Chart than the one being replaced to have a reaction!!!!


PRACTICE:
Balance the equation and state what reaction it is.

N₂ + H₂ --> NH₃ 
C + Fe₂O₃ --> Fe + CO

NH₄I + Cl₂ --> NH₄Cl + I₂

Al + H₂SO₄ --> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + H₂

Au + HCl -->  ?

H₂O ---> ?

NaI + F₂ ---> ?

Balancing and naming equations

Naming formulas
We know its been a while but here is a small review for naming those formulas.
ionic compounds...
They are always metal and a non-metal.
Ex. NaCl
      Na as a charge of +1
      Cl has a charge of -1
The cross over method is quite effective
      Na1Cl1
     Now reduce
      NaCl

Ex. Fe2O3
      Iron is a multivalent compound (Fe can either combine as 2+ or 3+)
      Uncross the the subscripts
      Fe^3
      O^2
      We know oxygen has a charge of -2 (so 2 and 3 are not reduced numbers) so we are using the charge 3+
      Iron oxide
      However, we need to specify which form of iron we are using; for that, we must use roman numerals.
      So it would be named: Iron (III) oxide.

covalent formulas....
Theses are quite easy to name as you literally name as you see it.  However, because the people who chose how these formulas should be named wanted to make our lives difficult, they used Greek.


Ex. CO2
  That is simply telling you that the compound has 1 carbon 2 oxygen.

So to name it, you would write
                           monocarbon dioxide.
HOWEVER, just to confuse you more.  There is a general rule.  You are never to use mono on the first element (even if it has only one atom).  You only use mono if
the second element has 1 (for ex. CO = Carbon monoxide)

So CO2 would be written as Carbon dioxide.

The Molar Volume of gas at STP

(Standard Temperature and Pressure)
Gases change volume (either get bigger or smaller) when there is a change in either temperature or pressure. The standard temperature and pressure that is used to compare different gasses is called STP.
1 STP is equal to 1 atmosphere of pressure and is at a temperature of 0ºC, which is the equivalent to 273.15ºK or 32ºF.
It is also known that at STP on mole of any gas takes up 22.4L of space.

Conversion factors:

                                     

Example:

Calculate the volume occupied by 8.10g of O2 at STP.

STEP 1: calculate molar mass of O2.
O=16 x 2 = 32g/mol.

STEP 2: find # of moles.
8.10g O2 x 1mole = 0.253125 moles

                     32g   

STEP 3: find the molar volume given that 1 mole of gas is equal 22.4L.
0.253125 moles x 22.4L = 5.67L

                                   1mole

                                                8.10g of O2 at STP = 5.67L of O2.

Diluting Solutions to Prepare Workable Solutions

Introduction

Chemicals are shipped around the world in their most concentrated forms (solids, concentrated acids, etc.)

If this is not the case, we'd be shipping lots of water along with the chemicals; and this results less cost effective.  Therefore, we need to be able to make solutions of any concentration from a more concentrated source.

Key Idea

• Moles of solute is constant (i.e. the only difference is that there's more water in the less concentrated solution)

Formula

moles solute before = moles solute after

M1L1 = M2L2

M = molarity

L = volume

1 = before

2 = after

Sample Question

Concentrated NaCl is 10 mole/L.  How to make up 2.0 L of 3.0 mole/L?

Step one: decide what which variable we need to find out

M1 = 10 mol/L

M2 = 3.0 mol/L

L1 = ?

L2 = 2.0 L

We need to find L1.

Step two: write down the formula and plug the already known variables in the formula

M1L1 = M2L2

10 mol/L * L1 = 3.0 mole/L * 2.0 L

Step three: solve for the unknown variable

L1 = 3.0 * 2.0 / 10

L1 = 0.60 L

Step four: find out the amount of water needed by subtraction

2.0 L - 0.60 L = 1.4 L of water

Therefore, we need 0.60 L of NaCl and 1.4 L of water to make up 2.0 L of the solution.

Things to keep in mind...

• Watch out for significant figures when solving the questions.
• Note that: solute = chemical in smaller quantity, solvent = chemical in larger quantity
