Transcript Physical Properties of Solutions

Types of Chemical Reactions
•
Oxidation–Reduction (Redox) Reaction: A
reaction in which one or more electrons are
transferred between reaction partners.
Mg (s) + Cl2 (g)  MgCl2(s)
1
Redox Reactions
Electrolyte: a solution that conducts electricity
- or –
An ionic compound dissolved in water
2
Redox Reactions
Strong electrolyte: almost all molecules are
ionized.
HCl, HNO3, NaCl
Weak electrolyte: only a small proportion of the
ions are formed.
H2SO3, HC2H3O2

Electrolytes in Solution

Why do ionic
compounds conduct
electricity when
molecular ones
generally do not?
4
Electrolytes in Solution
•
Electrolytes:
Dissolve in water to
produce ionic
solutions.
•
Nonelectrolytes: Do
not form ions when
they dissolve in water.

Dissociation:
•
The process by
which a compound
splits up to form ions
in the solution.

Redox Reactions
How are electrons transferred??
Observe charges on elements:
Mg0 (s) + Cl20 (g)  MgCl2(s)
Mg0 (s) + Cl20 (g)  Mg2+ + 2ClMg0 → Mg2+ + 2 e-
2 e- + Cl20 → 2 Cl-
So electrons are TRANSFERRED from Mg to Cl2
7
Redox Reactions
How are electrons transferred??
2 e- + Cl20 → 2 ClCl2 is REDUCED, since the charge on each Cl is lowered
Mg0 → Mg2+ + 2 eMg is OXIDIZED, electrons are removed
REDuction + OXidation = REDOX
8
Redox Reactions
Reducing Agent: causes reduction (donates electrons)
Oxidizing Agent: causes oxidation (accepts electrons)
2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO
Oxidizing Agent = O2
Reducing Agent = Mg

Redox Reactions
Zn + Cu2+ → ??
From Table: Zn is a stronger reducing agent than Cu.
Therefore the electrons are more likely to reside with Cu
in the product:
Zn + Cu2+ → Zn2+ + Cu

Redox Reactions
OXIDATION NUMBER
Effective charge on any atom
NaCl:
Na +1, Cl -1
MgCl2:
Mg +2, Cl -1
H2O:
H +1, O -2
MgO:
Mg +2, O -2
13
Redox Reactions
CALCULATING OXIDATION NUMBER
1. The sum of the O.N.s of all of the atoms in a molecule
or ion is equal to its total charge.
NaCl:
ONNa + ONCl = 0
SO42-:
ONS + 4 x ONO = -2
+1 + (-1) = 0
6 + 4x(-2) = -2
14
Redox Reactions
CALCULATING OXIDATION NUMBER
2. For atoms in the elemental form the oxidation number
is zero.
Mg (s):
ON = 0
O2 (g):
ON = 0
15
Redox Reactions
CALCULATING OXIDATION NUMBER
3. Remember some common oxidation numbers:
Group 1 → +1
Group 2 → +2
Halogens → -1
Oxygen → -2
Hydrogen → +1, -1
16
Redox Reactions
CALCULATING OXIDATION NUMBER
HSO3-
ONS = ??
ONH + ONS + 3(ONO) = -1
ONH = +1, ONO = -2
So ONs = -1 – (1) – (3 x (-2)) = +4

HALF REACTIONS
Mg + Cl2 → MgCl2
Break reaction into two separate (HALF) reactions
showing electrons
Mg0 → Mg2+ + 2 eCl20 + 2 e- → 2 Cl-

Balancing Redox Reactions
HALF REACTION METHOD
1. Break reaction into half reactions.
2. Balance each half reaction separately.
a) use H+ and H2O as needed in ACIDIC solution.
b) use OH- and H2O as needed in BASIC solution.
3. Balance charge in each half reaction by adding
electrons to one side of the equation.
20
Balancing Redox Reactions
HALF REACTION METHOD
4. Obtain equal number of electrons in each half reaction
by multiplying entire equation by a constant.
5. Add the 2 half reactions back together so that the
electrons cancel.

Balance the following for acidic and basic solution:
ClO–(aq) + Cr(OH)4–(aq)  CrO42–(aq) + Cl–(aq)
NO3–(aq) + Cu(s)  NO(g) + Cu2+(aq)
MnO4–(aq) + IO3–(aq)  MnO2(s) + IO4–(aq)
