Aqueous ReactionsDr. Sapna Gupta
Aqueous Solutions
• Solution - a homogeneous mixture of solute + solvent• Solute: the component that is dissolved
• Solvent: the component that does the dissolving (the larger quantity)
• Aqueous solutions are those in which water is the solvent.
• Dissociation - ionic compounds separate into constituent ions when dissolved in solution
• Ionization - formation of ions by molecular compounds when dissolved
Dr. Sapna Gupta/Electrolytes 2
Electrolyte: substance that dissolved in water produces a solution that conducts electricity. Will contain ions.
Strong Electrolyte: substances that dissolve completely in water; 100% dissociation
• All water soluble ionic compounds, strong acids and strong bases
Weak Electrolytes: substances that dissolve partially or dissociate partially in water. This solution does not contain many ions.
• Exist mostly as the molecular form in solution
• Weak acids and weak basesNonelectrolyte: substance that dissolved in water produces a solution that does not conduct electricity and does not contain ions.

Electrolytes – Practical Application
• Our body is about 70% water and we have a number of ionic salts in our body. Some common ions are Na+, Ca2+, K+, Cl-, CO3
2-.
• Electrolytes maintain voltages in our cells; they help with nerve impulses in our nervous system and help with muscle contractions.
• We get electrolytes through our diet and the kidneys are responsible for maintaining an electrolytic balance in the body. If the ions are not in the correct concentration then the above mentioned functions cannot occur.
• One way we lose electrolytes is during sweating. This is two fold – one: we lose water in the body so the concentration of ions change and two: we lose ions also during sweating.
• These ions have to replenished or we can lose muscle control.
• Electrolytes (sports drinks) are commonly used to replace these ions. One has to be careful though – they also have a lot of sugar in them!
• The first electrolyte beverage was invented in University of Florida……

Types of ReactionsTwo classifications: one how atoms are rearrangement and the other is chemicalreaction
1) Atomic Rearrangement
• Synthesis (combination): two substances combine to form one.
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2NaCl(s)
• Double Displacement: A reaction in which two elements displaces two elements.
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
• Single displacement: A reaction where one element displaces one other element.
Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
• Decomposition: A reaction in which a single compound reacts to give two or more substances.
2HgO(s) 2Hg(l) + O2(g)
2) Chemical Classification: Types of Chemical Reactions
Precipitation Reactions: where a solid is formed when two solutions are mixed.
Neutralization Reactions: when an acid and base react to from salt and water.
Oxidation–Reduction Reactions: addition or removal of oxygen and/or transfer of electrons.
Dr. Sapna Gupta/Electrolytes 7
Precipitation Reactions
• Precipitation (formation of a solid from two aqueous solutions) occurs when product is insoluble in water.
• Reaction type: Double displacement
• What is solubility? Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of a solid that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature
• Prediction of precipitate is based on solubility rules

Dr. Sapna Gupta/Electrolytes 10
Writing Equations in Aqueous SolutionsA chemical equation in which the reactants and products are written as if they were molecular substances, even though they may actually exist in solution as ions.
Symbols indicating the states are include: (s), (l), (g), (aq).
For example:
Molecular Equation:
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Although AgNO3, NaCl, and NaNO3 exist as ions in aqueous solutions, they are written as compounds in the molecular equation.
Ionic Equation:
Ag+(aq) + NO3−(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq) AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3
−(aq)
All compounds that dissociate are shown as ions.
Net Ionic Equation:
In this the spectator ions (ions on both sides of the equation) are eliminated.
Ag+(aq) + NO3−(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq) AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3
−(aq)
Net ionic equation represents the ions reacting. Those will be (g), (l) and (s) products formed.
Ag+(aq) + Cl−(aq) AgCl(s)

More on Acids-Bases
Indicators: these are chemicals used to determine if an acid or base is strong or weak by changing colors.
Polyprotic Acid: An acid that results in two or more acidic hydrogens per molecule.
For example: H2SO4, sulfuric acid

• Almost all acid base reactions are double displacement reactions.
• Most will produce a salt and water as product.
• Carbonates and sulfites give CO2 and SO2 gases in product.

Redox Reactions
Oxidation Reduction
Addition of oxygen Removal of oxygen
Removal of hydrogen Addition of hydrogen
Loss of electrons (LEO) Gain of electrons (GER)
Metals lose electrons hence undergo oxidation
Non metals gain electrons hence undergo reduction
Reducing agents – something that causes reduction of another element and gets oxidized (loses electrons) itself
Oxidizing agent – an element that causes oxidation of another element and gets reduced (gains electrons) itself
Dr. Sapna Gupta/Electrolytes 23
Writing Redox Reactions
Example
Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
gaining 2 electrons, reduction
Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
loses 2 electrons, oxidation
Half Reactions: Zinc is losing 2 electrons and oxidized. It is the reducing agent
Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e
Copper ions are gaining the 2 electrons. It is the oxidizing agent
Cu2+(aq) + 2e Cu(s)
Dr. Sapna Gupta/Electrolytes 24
Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers
1. Elements: The oxidation number of an element is zero.
2. Monatomic ions: The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge on the ion.
3. Oxygen: The oxidation number of oxygen is −2 in most compounds. (An exception is O in H2O2 and other peroxides, where the oxidation number is −1.)
4. Hydrogen: The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 in most of its compounds. (The oxidation number of hydrogen is −1 in binary compounds with a metal such as CaH2.)
5. Halogens: The oxidation number of fluorine is −1. Each of the other halogens (Cl, Br, I) has an oxidation number of −1 in binary compounds, except when the other element is another halogen above it in the periodic table or the other element is oxygen.
6. Compounds and ions: The sum of the oxidation numbers of a compound is zero. The sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms in a polyatomic ion equals the charge on the ion.

Dr. Sapna Gupta/Electrolytes 27
Assigning Oxidation States
Assign oxidation numbers for all elements in each species
1) MgBr2: Mg +2, Br 1 x 2= -2; +2 +(-2) = total charge of 0
2) ClO2 : O 2 x 2 = -4; Cl +3; (-4) + (+3) = -1 (charge left over on ion)
3) Assign oxidation number of Mn in KMnO4
K Mn O
1(+1) + 1(oxidation number of Mn) + 4(−2) = 0
1 + 1(oxidation number of Mn) + (−8) = 0
(−7) + (oxidation number of Mn) = 0
Oxidation number of Mn = +7
4) What is the oxidation number of Cr in dichromate, Cr2O72−?
Cr O
2(oxidation number of Cr) + 7(−2) = −2
2(oxidation number of Cr) + (−14) = −2
2(oxidation number of Cr) = +12
Oxidation number of Cr = +6Dr. Sapna Gupta/Electrolytes 28
Balancing Redox Equations (electronically)
Balance the following reaction.
Zn(s) + Ag+(aq) Zn2+(aq) + Ag(s)
Oxidation Numbers 0 + +2 0
Next, write the unbalanced half−reactions.
Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) (oxidation)
Ag+(aq) Ag(s) (reduction)
Now, balance the charge in each half reaction by adding electrons.
Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e− (oxidation)
e− + Ag+(aq) Ag(s) (reduction)
Each half−reaction should have the same number of electrons. To do this, multiply each half−reaction by a factor so that when the half−reactions are added, the electrons cancel.
Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e− (oxidation)
2e− + 2Ag+(aq) 2Ag(s) (reduction)
Lastly, add the two half−reactions together.
Zn(s) + 2Ag+(aq) Zn2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Now, write the half−reactions. Since Iodide is a spectator ion it is omitted at this point.
Mg(s) Mg2+(aq) (oxidation)
Fe3+(aq) Fe(s) (reduction)
Balancing the half−reactions:
Mg(s) Mg2+(aq) + 2e− (oxidation)
Fe3+(aq) + 3e− Fe(s) (reduction)
Multiply the oxidation half−reaction by 3 and the reduction half−reaction by 2.
3Mg(s) 3Mg2+(aq) + 6e− (oxidation)
2Fe3+(aq) + 6e− 2Fe(s) (reduction)
Add the half−reactions together.
