2. Properties of Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Water, the Common Solvent
Solute: substance dissolved in a liquid to form a solution
-Dissolve in the solvent (often water)
-Is present in lesser amount than the solvent
Solvent: the dissolving medium
When water is the solvent the solution is aqueous
- abbreviated (aq)

3. Properties of Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Water, the Common Solvent
Water is a polar molecule
Since Oxygen is slightly more electronegative than Hydrogen, it obtains a partial - charge; hydrogen receives a partial + charge
The positive end of the water molecule is attracted to the negatively charged solute ions.
This process is called hydration

4. Properties of Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Ionic Compounds in Water
Ions dissociate in water.
In solution, each ion is surrounded by water molecules.
Transport of ions through solution causes flow of current

5. Properties of Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Molecular Compounds in Water
Molecular compounds in water (e.g., CH3OH): no ions are formed.
If there are no ions in solution, there is nothing to transport electric charge.

6. Properties of Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Strong and Weak Electrolytes
Strong electrolytes: completely dissociate in solution.
For example:
Weak electrolytes: produce a small concentration of ions when they dissolve.
These ions exist in equilibrium with the un-ionized substance. For example:

8. Properties of Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Acids
Strong acids -dissociate completely to produce H+ in solution
ex: hydrochloric and sulfuric acid
Weak acids - dissociate to a slight extent to give H+ in solution
ex: acetic and formic acid

9. Properties of Solutes in Aqueous Solution
Bases
Strong bases - react completely with water to give OH- ions.
ex: sodium hydroxide
Weak bases - react only slightly with water to give OH- ions.
ex: ammonia

10. The Composition of Solutions
Often when performing stoichiometric calculations we need to know how much of a reagent is found in solution.
usually expressed as a concentration

11. The Composition of Solutions

Problem 2: Typical blood serum is about 0.14 M NaCl. What volume of blood contains 1.0 mg of NaCl?

13. The Composition of Solutions Preparing Dilutions
Mass the appropriate amount of solid substance (the solute), then place the solute in a volumetric flask
Add approx. 1/3 of the total volume of solvent required

14. The Composition of Solutions Preparing Dilutions
Dissolve the solute by swirling the flask (with stopper in place)
Add water until the level of the solution just reaches the etched mark on the flask, then invert the flask 7x

15. The Composition of Solutions Preparing Dilutions

18. Types of Chemical Reactions
Major Categories of Chemical Reactions
Precipitation reactions

Acid-base reactions
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)  NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

19. Precipitation Reactions
Two solutions are mixed yielding an insoluble substance called a precipitate
Ex: K2CrO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq) --> products
In order to determine which product yields the precipitate we need to consider each of the ions available in the reaction

20. Ex: K2CrO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq) --> BaCrO4(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)
Precipitation Reactions:
Writing Ionic Equations
1) Write the molecular equation - shows all species listed in their molecular forms:
Ex: K2CrO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq) --> BaCrO4(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)
2) Write the Complete ionic equation - List all ions and solid products (in a complete ionic equation, all strong electrolytes are written as ions)
Ex: 2K+(aq) + CrO42-(aq) + Ba2+(aq) + 2 NO3-(aq) --> BaCrO4(s) + 2 K+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)

21. Precipitation Reactions: Writing Ionic Equations
3) Write the Net ionic equation -list only the unique ions which are found in ion form on only one side of the equation. Also write any solid or gaseous reagents
Ex: CrO42-(aq) + Ba2+(aq)
--> BaCrO4(s)
Spectator ions: K+(aq) & NO3-(aq)

31. Introduction to Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Oxidation and Reduction
When a metal undergoes corrosion it loses electrons to form cations:
Ca(s) +2H+(aq)  Ca2+(aq) + H2(g)
Oxidized: atom, molecule, or ion becomes more positively charged.
Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
Reduced: atom, molecule, or ion becomes less positively charged.
Reduction is the gain of electrons.
