Precipitation Reactions

Precipitation Reactions. Solution Chemistry. It is helpful to pay attention to exactly what species are present in a reaction mixture (i.e., solid, liquid, gas, aqueous solution). If we are to understand reactivity, we must be aware of just what is changing during the course of a reaction.

  1. Precipitation Reactions

  2. Solution Chemistry It is helpful to pay attention to exactly what species are present in a reaction mixture (i.e., solid, liquid, gas, aqueous solution). If we are to understand reactivity, we must be aware of just what is changing during the course of a reaction.

  3. Precipitation Reactions When one mixes ions that form compounds that are insoluble (as could be predicted by the solubility guidelines), a precipitate (solid) is formed.

  4. Precipitation Reactions • How to identify • Two reactants are an aqueous solution (aq) • One product has to be solid (s) • Metathesis reaction (double replacement) Example: AgNO3 (aq) + KCl (aq)  AgCl (s) + KNO3 (aq)

  5. Molecular Equation The molecular equation lists the reactants and products in their molecular form. AgNO3 (aq) + KCl(aq) AgCl(s) + KNO3 (aq)

  6. Ionic Equation In the 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)

  7. Net Ionic Equation To form the net ionic equation, cross out anything that does not change from the left side of the equation to the right. Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl(s) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

  8. Net Ionic Equation To form the net ionic equation, cross out anything that does not change from the left side of the equation to the right. The only things left in the equation are those things that change (i.e., react) during the course of the reaction. Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl(s)

  9. Net Ionic Equation To form the net ionic equation, cross out anything that does not change from the left side of the equation to the right. The only things left in the equation are those things that change (i.e., react) during the course of the reaction. Those things that didn’t change (and were deleted from the net ionic equation) are called spectator ions. Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl(s) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

  10. Writing Net Ionic Equations Write a balanced molecular equation. Dissociate all strong electrolytes. Cross out anything that remains unchanged from the left side to the right side of the equation. Write the net ionic equation with the species that remain.

  11. Practice Problem • Write the molecular, ionic and net ionic equation for the reaction: Aqueous sodium hydroxide reacts with aqueous copper (II) sulfate to precipitate copper (II) hydroxide

  12. Practice Problem 2 • Write the molecular, ionic and net ionic equation for the reaction: Aqueous potassium carbonate reacts with aqueous silver nitrate to precipitate silver carbonate.
