Types of Reactions

Synthesis
  • synthesis reaction is when two or more reactants combine to form a compound.
Formula:  A + B --> C

Examples:
  • 1Ca + 1Cl₂ --> 1CaCl
  • Na + Cl₂ --> 
    • 2Na + 1Cl₂ --> 2NaCl
  • 1H₂ + 1F₂ -->  2HF
  • Al + Cl₂ -->  
    • 2Al + 3Cl₂ --> 2AlCl
  • 6Li + 1N₂ --> 2Li₃N

Decomposition
  • A decomposition reaction is when a compound degrades into two or more products.
Formula:  A --> B + C

Examples:
  • 2H₂O --> 2H₂ + 1O
  • KNO₃ -->
    • 2KNO₃ --> 2KNO₂ + 1O
  • NF₃ --> 1N₂ + 3F
  • MgO -->
    • 2MgO --> 2Mg + 1O
  • 2NaCl --> 2Na + 1Cl

Single Replacement
  • A single replacement(or displacement) reaction is when one element replaces another element in a compound.
Formula for Metal:  A + BC --> AC + B
Formula for Non-Metal:  A + BC --> BA + C


Examples:
  • 6K + 1Al₂O₃ --> 3K₂O + 1Al
  • Al + FeCl₂ -->
    • 2Al + 3FeCl₂ --> 2AlCl₃ + 3Fe
  • 2AgCl + 1Mg --> 2Ag + 1MgCl₂
  • Zn + H₂SO₄ -->
    • 1Zn + 1H₂SO₄ --> 1ZnSO₄ + 1H₂
  • 1Cl₂ + 2KBr --> 2KCl + 1Br

Activity Series
  • Elements higher on the chart can replace elements below it, but elements lower on the chart cannot replace elements higher on the chart.






For example:
Fe + Al2O3 --> N.R., because iron is lower on the activity series chart than aluminum, it cannot replace it. When this occurs we label it N.R. for no reaction.

Translating Word Equations and Naming Compounds

Translating Word Equations



  1. First thing is to understand the wording of the word equations.
    • The word "and" or "reacts with" means + 
    • The phrase "react to," or "produce" means ------>



For example:


Magnesium bromide and chlorine produce magnesium chloride and bromine.


    
    2.  You then look at the Periodic Table for the elements in the equation and criss-cross the numbers in front of the charges on the ions.


MgBr₂  +  Cl₂  ---->   MgCl₂  +  Br₂



Examples:
  • Iron and sulfur produces iron(III) sulfide
    • Fe + S --> Fe₂S₃
  • Water produce hydrogen and oxygen
    • H₂O -->  H₂ + O₂
  • Potassium and water react to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen
    • K + H₂O -->  KOH + O₂
  • Aluminum and hydrochloric acid produce aluminum chloride and hydrogen
    • Al + HCl -->  AlCl₃ + H₂
  •  Ethane and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water
    • C2H6 + O2  -->  CO2   +  H2O

Naming Compounds
  • Non-metals end with "ide"

  • - ic if the anion name ends in - ate.
  • - ous if the anion name ends in - ite.

Molar Volume of a Gas at STP

Molar Volume:

  • The volume occupied by one of a gas is called as molar volume.
  • One mole of any gas at STP will have a volume of 22.4 L.
  • S.T.P. = Standard Temperature and Pressure
  • Standard Temperature = 0oC or 273 K



Formula:
Molar Volume :  22.4 L of gas / 1 mol of gas  


                                       OR


                       1 mol of gas / 22.4 L of gas

Diluting Solutions to Prepare Workable Solutions


Moles of solute stays the same,
concentration depend on amount of water


Chemicals are shipped around the world in their most concentrated form, like powder, making it easier and lost costly because then we wouldn’t be shipping all that extra water.

This is why we need to be able to make solutions of any concentration from a more concentrated source.

The moles of the solute is always constant.

The concentration is based on the amount of water present.



MOLES OF SOLUTE BEFORE  =  MOLES OF SOLUTE AFTER

or

M1L1  =  M2L2
Where:
M = Moles
L = Litres


Eg.  15.0mL of 0.70M KCl  solution is diluted to a final volume of 150.0mL. What is the new concentration?

M1 =  0.70M
L1  =  15.0mL
M2 = ?
L2  = 150.0mL
M1L1  =  M2L2
0.70M  x 15.0mL = M2  x 150.0mL

0.70M x 15.0mL  =   M2
150.0mL          .

0.070M  =  M2


Eg.   A 0.275M solution is concentrated by evaporating the a reduced volume of 250.0mL and a molarity of 0.720M. What is the original volume?

M1 =  0.275M
L1  =  ?
M2 = 0.720M
L2  = 250.0mL
M1L1  =  M2L2
0.275M  x  L1 = 0.720M  x  250.0mL

L1  =  0.720M  x  250.0mL
       0.275M

L1  =  912mL

molar concentration/molarity

Molar Concentration or molarity is the #of moles  of solute dissolved in a 1 L of solution.
- represented by M and it has the units of "mols/L."
The formula of Molarity = moles of solute (mol)
                                         volume of solution (L)
 M = mol/L.
 mol = M x L and L = mol/M are ways to find the mol and volume.


1) Calculate molar concentration that has a solution of 0.620 moles of CaCl2 in 1.7 L of solution.
2)Calculate the number of grams of sodium hydroxide in 3200mL of a 1.2 M KF solution.
3) Calculate the volume of L of 0.780 M NaCl solution that contains 55.21 g NaCl.


Answers:
1) M =0.620mol/ 1.7L 

=0.36(remember your sigfigs) 

2) 3200ml = 3.2 L

1.2M x 3.20L= 3.84 mols
convert mols to grams -------> 3.84 mols x 58.1g   = 223.104g--------------->220g
                                                                      1 mol
3) MM of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol
    55.21 g x 1 mol / 58.5 g
    = 0.944
L solution = 9.44444 moles of NaCl / 0.780
                = 12.108L
