Rules for Balancing Chemical Equations
• You can only change the coefficients.
• You can NOT add new atoms or molecules into the equation

2𝐻𝐻2 𝑂𝑂 → 2𝐻𝐻2 + 𝑂𝑂2 + 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶2

• You can NOT change the chemical formulas to force a balanced


equation
𝐻𝐻2 𝑂𝑂 → 𝐻𝐻2 + 𝑂𝑂

• Balance atoms in more complex substances first, leave pure


elements last

Quantitative Information from Balanced
Equations
How do we relate the number of atoms or molecules to
the amounts we measure in the laboratory?
Formula weight: the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the
empirical formula of the substance
If the chemical formula is that of a molecule, the formula weight is also called the
molecular weight

Molecular weight: its average mass as calculated by adding together


the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecular formula.

For Example:
For an element, the formula weight = atomic weight of the element: Na = 23.0 u.
The molecular weight of glucose (C6H12O6)
= 6(12.0 u) + 12(1.0 u) +6(1.0 u)
= 180.0 u
2022-23 CHEM 1070A 10
Quantitative Information from Balanced
Equations
Percent Composition: One can find the percentage of the mass of a
compound that comes from each of the elements in the compound by
using this equation:
(number of atoms)(atomic weight)
% Element = x 100
(FW of the compound)

(2)(12.011 amu)
For the molecule ethane, C2H6 %C =
(30.070 amu)
24.022 amu
= x 100
30.070 amu
= 79.887%

Molar Mass
• By definition, a molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of a substance (i.e., g/mol).
• The formula weight (in amu’s) will be the same number as the molar
mass (in g/mol).

- knowing the balanced equation
- assuming all reactants are converted into the products
 This calculated amount is known as theoretical yield

of 4.50 g of KClO3
- 2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2
- Mol of KClO3 = 4.5/(39.1+35.45+16×3) = 0.0367
- Mol of O2 formed = 3/2×0.0367 = 0.055
- Weight of O2 formed = 0.055 × 32 = 1.76 g
2022-23 CHEM 1070A 24
Limiting Reactants
• The limiting reactant is the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric
amount.
• In other words, it’s the reactant you’ll run out of first (in this case, the
H2).

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 25


Limiting Reactants
 How many grams of NH3 can be produced from 3.0 mol of N2
and 6.0 mol of H2?
- The balanced equation: 3 H2 + N2 → 2NH3

 Mass of NH3 = 4.0 mol × 17 g/mol = 68 g

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 26


Theoretical Yield
 The maximum amount of product that can be made
according to the balanced equation
 In reality, there are always side reactions that make the
actual yield smaller than the theoretical value
 The term percent yield can be used to describe the
cleanliness of the reaction

actual yield
Percent yield = x 100
theoretical yield

 Example: if in the previous reaction: 3 H2 + N2 → 2NH3, the


actual yield of NH3 is 50 g, the % yield = 50/68 × 100 = 73.5

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 27


Solutions
• Solutions are defined as
homogeneous mixtures of two or
more pure substances.
• The solvent is present in greatest
abundance.
• All other substances are solutes.
• When water is the solvent, the
solution is called an aqueous
solution.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 28


Aqueous Solutions
• Substances can dissolve in water by different ways:

• Ionic compounds dissolve by dissociation, where water


surrounds the separated ions.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 29


Aqueous Solutions
 Molecular compounds interact with water, but most
do NOT dissociate.

 Some molecular substances react with water when


they dissolve.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 30


Molarity
• The quantity of solute in a solution can matter to a chemist.
• We call the amount dissolved its concentration.
• Molarity is one way to measure the concentration of a solution:

moles of solute
Molarity (M) =
volume of solution in liters

A 1 molar solution (written 1.00 M) contains 1.00 mol of


solute in every liter of solution

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 31


Solution Concentration
 Example: Calculate the concentration of 15.3 g of NaCl
dissolved in water and make it to 250.0 mL
- mol of NaCl = 15.3/(22.90 + 35.45) = 0.262 mol
0.262 mol
- concentration = = 1.05 M
(250.0 /1000)L

 Example: Calculate the concentration of 20.0 mL of a 0.35 M


NaCl solution is diluted to 100.0 mL
- mol of NaCl in 20.0 mL = 0.35 × 20.0/1000 = 0.0070mol
0.0070 mol
- concentration = = 0.070 M
(100.0 /1000)L

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 32


Making a Solution
• To create a solution of a known molarity, weigh out a
known mass (and, therefore, number of moles) of the
solute.
• Then add solute to a volumetric flask, and add solvent to
the line on the neck of the flask.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 33


Dilution
• One can also dilute a more concentrated solution by
• using a pipet to deliver a volume of the solution to a new
volumetric flask, and
• adding solvent to the line on the neck of the new flask.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 34


Dilution

The molarity of the new solution can be determined


from the equation
Mc × Vc = Md × Vd
where Mc and Md are the molarity of the
concentrated and dilute solutions, respectively, and Vc
and Vd are the volumes of the two solutions.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 35


Dilution - Example
Q: Suppose you are given 1.00L of 1.00 M HCl solution.
How would you make 0.400 M HCl solution from it?

1.00 M (1.00 L) = 0.400 M Vd


Vd = 2.50 L

You will have to add extra water till the total volume of
solution is 2.50 L

potato!
2022-23 CHEM 1070A 37
Electrolytes & Non-electrolytes

• A strong electrolyte dissociates completely when


dissolved in water.
• A weak electrolyte only dissociates partially when
dissolved in water.
• A nonelectrolyte does NOT dissociate in water.
2022-23 CHEM 1070A 38
Electrolytes & Non-electrolytes
 Strong electrolytes - Compounds when dissolved in water all
dissociate into ions
NaCl(s) + H2O → Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
 Weak electrolytes – Compounds when dissolved in water only
a small amount of which dissociate into ions; the majority is
still in molecular form
CH3CO2H(l) + H2O (l) ⇔ CH3CO2-(aq) + H+(aq)
 Non-electrolytes – Compounds when dissolved in water do
not dissociate into ions
glucose (s) + H2O (l) → glucose (aq)

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 39


Electrolytes & Non-electrolytes

 Soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes


 Molecular compounds tend to be non-electrolytes, except for
strong acids (HCl, HBr, HI, HClO3, HClO4, HNO3, H2SO4) and
strong bases (group IA and IIA metal hydroxides)

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 40


Electrolytes & Non-electrolytes
Properties
 Strong electrolyte can conduct electricity

 Non-electrolyte does not conduct electricity

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 41


Solubility of Ionic Compounds
• Not all ionic compounds dissolve in water.
• A list of solubility rules is used to decide what combination of
ions will dissolve.

Na+,K+ ,NH4+compounds are soluble

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 42


Precipitation Reactions
When two solutions containing soluble salts are mixed, sometimes
an insoluble salt will be produced. A salt “falls” out of solution, like
snow out of the sky. This solid is called a precipitate.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 43


Precipitation Reactions

 When one mixes ions that form compounds that are


insoluble, a precipitation reaction occurs

AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) → KNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

 It appears that the ions in the reactant compounds are


exchanging partners. It is also known as metathesis or
exchange reaction

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 44


Ways to Write Reactions
The molecular equation lists the reactants and products without
indicating the ionic nature of the compounds.
AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

• In the complete ionic equation all strong electrolytes (strong


acids, strong bases, and soluble ionic salts) are dissociated into
their ions.
• This more accurately reflects the species that are found in the
reaction mixture.
Ag+(aq) + NO3−(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl−(aq) →
AgCl(s) + K+(aq) + NO3−(aq)

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 45


Ways to Write Reactions
• To form the net ionic equation, cross out anything that does
not change from the left side of the equation to the right.
• The ions crossed out are called spectator ions, K+ and NO3−,
in this example.
• The remaining ions are the reactants that form the product—
an insoluble salt in a precipitation reaction, as in this
example.
Ag+(aq) + NO3−(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl−(aq) →
AgCl(s) + K+(aq) + NO3−(aq)

Ag+(aq) + Cl−(aq) → AgCl(s)

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 46


When aqueous solutions of K2SO4 and Pb(NO3)2 are mixed, PbSO4 precipitates. Calculate
the mass of PbSO4 formed when 1.25 L of 0.0500 M Pb(NO3)2 and 2.00 L of 0.0250
M K2SO4 are mixed.
Atomic masses (g/mol): K – 39.098, O - 16.00, N - 14.01, S - 32.066, Pb – 207.2
• When aqueous solutions of K2SO4 and Pb(NO3)2 are mixed, the resulting solution contains the
ions K+, SO42-, Pb2+, and NO3-. Since NaNO3 is soluble and PbSO4 is insoluble, PbSO4(s) will form.
• Pb2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) -> PbSO4 (s)

• Since 0.0500 M Pb(NO3)2 contains 0.0500 M Pb2+ ions, we can calculate the moles of Pb2+ ions in 1.25 L
of this solution as follows:
• 1.25 L x 0.0500 mol Pb2+/ 1 L = 0.0625 mol Pb2+

• The 0.0250 M Na2SO4 solution contains 0.0250 M SO42- ions, and the number of moles of SO42- ions in
2.00 L of this solution is:
• 2.00 L x 0.0250 mol SO42-/ 1 L = 0.0500 mol SO42-
• Because Pb2+ and SO42- react in a 1:1 ratio, the amount of SO42- will be limiting ( 0.0500 mol SO42- is less
than 0.0625 mol Pb2+).
• Since the Pb2+ ions are present in excess, only 0.0500 mol of PbSO4 (s) will be formed.
• The mass of PbSO4 formed can be calculated using the molar mass of PbSO4 (303.3 g/mol).
• 0.0500 mol PbSO4 x 303.0 g PbSO4/ 1 mol PbSO4 = 15.2 g PbSO4

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction: electrons are transferred from one
reactant to another.

Metal corrosion is one of the most common oxidation-reduction reactions:

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 48


Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

• Loss of electrons is oxidation.


• Gain of electrons is reduction.
• One cannot occur without the other.
• The reactions are often called redox reactions.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 49


Oxidation Numbers (O.N.)

To determine if an oxidation–reduction reaction has


occurred, we assign an oxidation number to each
element in a neutral compound or charged entity.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 50


Determining O. N.
1. The oxidation number (O.N.) of an element is always zero.
• 0 for H in H2, 0 for O in O2, 0 for F in F2, etc.

2. For monatomic ion, the charge is the same as the oxidation state.
• +2 for Fe in Fe2+, -1 for Cl in Cl-

3. Oxygen in a compound is -2, unless a peroxide is present. The oxidation state of


oxygen in peroxide ion , O22- is -1.
• -2 for O in CO2, -2 for O in H2O

4. O.N. of fluorine is always -1. O.N. of Cl and Br is almost always -1 unless bonded to a
more electronegative atom.

5. Hydrogen in a compound is +1, unless it is a hydride (H-).


• +1 for H in CH4, +1 for H in H2O

6. For species containing multiple atoms, the sum of O.N. equals the charge of the
species
• For H2O, the sum of O.N. (2x1-2=0) is 0 because H2O has no net charge.
• For NH4+, the sum of O.N. is +1 because the molecular ion has +1 charge
2022-23 CHEM 1070A 51
Examples
1. What is the O.N. of Fe in FeCl3?
Let x be the O.N. of Fe
x+3(-1)=0
x=+3
x=O.N. of Fe = +3
2. What is the O.N. of Cr in Cr2O72-?
Let x be the O.N. of Cr
2x+7(-2)=-2
2x=12
x=O.N. of Cr = +6
3. What is the O.N. of Cl in OCl-?
-2 + O.N. of Cl = -1
O.N. of Cl = +1

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 52


Examples
• In the reaction below, what are the O.N. of C and O before
and after the reaction? What are the reducing and oxidizing
agents?
CH4(g) + 2O2 (g)→ CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

• O.N. of C changes from -4 to +4. C or (CH4) is oxidized. CH4 is


reducing agent.
• O.N. of O changes from 0 to -2. O (or O2) is reduced. O2 is
oxidizing agent.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 53


Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
• Oxidation
• Loss of electrons
• Increase in O.N.
• Oxidizing agent does the oxidation.
• Reducing agent is oxidized
• Reduction
• Gain of electrons
• Decrease in O.N.
• Reducing agent does the reduction
• Oxidizing agent is reduced

on the activity
series are more
reactive.
• They are more
likely to exist as
ions.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 57


Acid-Base Reactions

 In an acid–base reaction, the acid (H2O above) donates a


proton (H+) to the base (NH3 above).
 Reactions between an acid and a base are called
neutralization reactions.
 When the base is a metal hydroxide, water and a salt (an
ionic compound) are produced.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 58


Neutralization Reactions
When a strong acid (like HCl) reacts with a strong base
(like NaOH), the net ionic equation is circled below:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)


H+(aq) + Cl−(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH−(aq) →
Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq) + H2O(l)

H+(aq) + OH−(aq) → H2O(l)

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 59


Titration
A titration is an analytical technique in which one can
calculate the concentration of a solute in a solution.

2022-23 CHEM 1070A 60


Titration – Example
Q: 0.500 M HCl is used to titrate against a 10.00 mL of NaOH solution
with unknown concentration. 25.00 mL of the HCl solution is needed to
reach the “end point”, indicated by a color change.
What is the concentration of the NaOH solution?

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

mol H+ added at the end point


= 0.500 M x 0.0250 L
= 0.00125 mol

mol OH- reacted= 0.00125 mol

M NaOH = 0.00125 mol /0.0100 M = 1.25 M
