Chemical Reactions Reactions in Aqueous Solutions
Learning Goals • Write complete ionic and net ionic equations for chemical reactions in aqueous solutions. • Predict whether reactions in aqueous solutions will produce a precipitate, water, or a gas. • Identify acid-base reactions and oxidation-reduction reactions.
Aqueous Solutions • An aqueous solutioncontains one or more dissolved substances (called solutes) in water (the solvent).
Aqueous Solutions • Water is always the solvent in an aqueous solution. • Solutes can be anything that is dissolved in water: • Ex: Sugar, alcohol, acids, bases, ionic compounds
Aqueous Solutions • When ionic compounds dissolve in water, their ions separate in a process called dissociation.
Aqueous Solutions • When two solutions that contain ions as solutes are combined, the ions might react. • If they react, it is always a double replacement reaction. • 3 types of products can form, a precipitate, water, or gas.
Precipitation Reactions • Precipitation Reactions
Solubility Rules • Use the solubility rules to predict which of the following substances are likely to be soluble in water: • Aluminum nitrate • Magnesium chloride • Rubidium sulfate • Nickel (II) hydroxide • Lead (II) sulfide • Magnesium hydroxide • Iron (III) phosphate

Ionic Equations • 2NaOH(aq) + CuCl2(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + Cu(OH)2(s) • 2Na+(aq) + 2OH–(aq) + Cu2+ (aq)+ 2Cl–(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) + Cu(OH)2(s)
Ionic Equations • Ionic equations that show all of the particles in a solution as they actually exist are called complete ionic equations.
Ionic Equations • Ions that do not participate in a reaction are called spectator ionsand are not usually written in ionic equations.
Ionic Equations • Formulas that include only the particles that participate in reactions are called net ionic equations.
Ionic Equations • 2NaOH(aq) + CuCl2(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + Cu(OH)2(s) • 2Na+(aq) + 2OH–(aq) + Cu2+ (aq)+ 2Cl–(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) + Cu(OH)2(s) • 2OH–(aq) + Cu2+(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s)

Reactions that Produce Water • Some reactions produce more water molecules. • No evidence of a chemical reaction is observable. • Water is a very stable compound. • When substances that can form water are mixed, there is a strong tendency for the reaction to occur.
Reactions that Produce Water • Acids and Bases: • Arrhenius acids: substances that produces H+ ions when dissolved in water. • Acids that completely ionize into H+ are called strong acids.
Reactions that Produce Water • Acids and Bases: • Arrhenius bases: substances that produces OH- ions when dissolved in water. • Bases that completely ionize into OH- are called strong bases.

Reactions that Produce Gas • Gases that are commonly produced are carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, and hydrogen sulfide. • 2HI(aq) + Li2S(aq) → H2S(g) + 2LiI(aq)
Reactions that Produce Gas • Two reactions can be combined and represented by a single chemical reaction.
Reactions that Produce Gas • Combined equation • HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) + H2CO3(aq) → H2CO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) • Overall equation • HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) → H2O(l) + CO2(g) + NaCl(aq)
