Strong and Weak AcidsAcid
A molecule or ion that releases a hydrogen ion in water solution.Solution of HCl in water is called hydrochloric acid.
All molecules of HCl are converted to ions
HCl + H2O (l) H3O+(aq.) + Cl-(aq.)
To simplify sometime we write the dissociation of HCl as HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
For nitric acid:HNO3(aq) H+(aq) + NO3
–(aq)
![Page 10: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Strong and Weak AcidsAcids are classified as strong or weak.
Strong acidAll molecules of a strong acid are converted to ions:
Only seven common acids are strong acids:
HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HClO3.
![Page 11: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Strong and Weak AcidsWeak acid
• Most acids like acetic acid, benzoic acid are weak electrolytes and are considered weak acids.
• A weak acid is only slightly ionized in solution. HAc(aq) H+(aq) + Ac–(aq)
• Because of the low concentration of ions, weak acids are poor conductors of electricity.

Net Ionic EquationsConsider the reaction of solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride.
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Silver nitrate solution, AgNO3(aq):Silver ions, Ag+(aq)
Nitrate ions, NO3–(aq)

Net Ionic EquationsHow are these represented in a conventional equation?
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq)
The problem with this conventional representation is that it disguises the true composition of the solutions.
![Page 16: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsTo avoid this misrepresentation, we can write the formulas of the
reactants as they actually occur in solution:
Ag+(aq) + NO3–(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
![Page 17: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsWe can perform a similar analysiswith the products of the reaction.
Silver chloride precipitate:Solid silver chloride, AgCl(s)
Sodium nitrate solution:Sodium ions, Na+(aq)Nitrate ions, NO3
–(aq)Water molecules

Net Ionic EquationsConventional representation of products:
AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Products as they actually occur:AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3
–(aq)
![Page 19: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsCombining reactants and products:
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
This is the conventional equation.
It is good for stoichiometry problems (Ch. 10),but it lacks in revealing what really happens in solution.
![Page 20: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsWriting actual reactants and products:
Ag+(aq) + NO3–(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3–
(aq)
This is the total ionic equation.
It represents each species as it actually occurs in solution.
![Page 21: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsNote that some species appear as both
reactant and product in the total ionic equation:
Ag+(aq) + NO3–(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3–
(aq)
NO3–(aq) is both reactant and product;
Na+(aq) is both reactant and product.
Neither ion undergoes a chemical change.
![Page 22: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsIf we eliminate these non-reacting spectator ions,
Ag+(aq) + NO3–(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3–
(aq)
What remains is the net ionic equation:
Ag+(aq) + Cl–(aq) AgCl(s)
![Page 23: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsA net ionic equation describes
what happens in a chemical change:
Ag+(aq) + Cl–(aq) AgCl(s)
Aqueous silver ion reacts with aqueous chloride ionto yield solid silver chloride.
A net ionic equation ignores non-reacting species:Sodium ionNitrate ion
Water molecules
![Page 24: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Net Ionic EquationsWriting a Net Ionic Equation
1. Write the conventional equation, including state symbols—(g), (l), (s), and (aq). Balance the equation.
2. Write the total ionic equation by replacing each aqueous (aq) substance that is a strong acid or a soluble ionic compound with its major species. Do not separate a weak acid into ions, even though its state is aqueous (aq). Also, never change solids (s), liquids (l), or gases (g) into ions. Be sure the equation is balanced in both atoms and charge.
3. Write the total ionic equation by removing the spectators from the total ionic equation. Reduce coefficients to lowest terms, if necessary. Be sure the equation is balanced in both atoms and charge.

Single-Replacement RedoxExample:Let us consider the reaction between iron and hydrochloric acid.
The full formula equation is:
Fe(s) + 2 HCl(aq.) FeCl2(aq.) + H2(g)
![Page 27: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Single-Replacement RedoxThe iron atoms, which lost electrons, are said to have been
oxidized
Fe(s) – 2e Fe+2(aq.)
and hydrogen ions, the receivers of electrons , are said to
have been reduced.
2 H+(aq.) + 2e H2(g)
![Page 28: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Single-Replacement RedoxLet us consider the reaction between zinc and copper sulfate.
The conventional equation is:
Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq.) ZnSO4(aq.) + Cu(s) The net ionic equation is
Zn(s) + Cu+2(aq.) Zn+2 (aq.) + Cu(s)
Oxidation: Zn(s) – 2e Zn+2 (aq.) Reduction: Cu+2
(aq.) + 2 e Cu(s)
![Page 29: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Single-Replacement RedoxLet us consider the reaction between copper and silver nitrate.
The conventional equation is:
Cu(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq.) Cu(NO3)2(aq.) + 2 Ag(s) The net ionic equation is
Cu(s) + 2 Ag+(aq.) Cu+2 (aq.) + 2Ag(s)
Oxidation: Cu(s) - 2e Cu+2 (aq.) Reduction: 2 Ag+
(aq.) + 2 e 2Ag(s)
![Page 30: Chapter 9 Chemical Change](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816668550346895dd9fcf1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Single-Replacement RedoxThe activity series lists the relative reactivity of species that form positive
ions in a single-replacement redox reaction.
Note that Cu is above Ag and under Zn on the activity series.
This means that Cu replaces Ag in a single-replacement reaction.
If solid copper was placed in a zinc chloride solution, there would be no reaction.

Double Replacement Precipitation Reactions
These are double-replacement reactions:AX + BY AY + BX
When one product is an insoluble ionic compound, the reaction is called a precipitation reaction and the solid is called a
precipitate.
