Strong Electrolytes:

• Nearly 100% dissociated

into ions

• Conduct current efficiently

Examples: ionic compounds such as

NaCl, strong acids like HCl

• NaCl(s) → Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

• HCl(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+ + Cl-(aq)

Weak Electrolytes:

• Only partially dissociate into

ions

• Slightly conductive

Example: weak acids such as

acetic acid

The higher the concentration of H3O+ in solution, the stronger the acid.

Non-electrolytes

Substances in which no ionization

occurs. There is no flow of electrical

Types of Solutions

Saturated solution:

• Contains the maximum amount of solute that can

dissolve in a given volume at a given temperature.

• Solubility = g solute/100 mL solvent.

Supersaturated solution:

• Contains more dissolved solute than predicted at a

given temperature.

21

A Saturated Solution Example

Supersaturated Solution

Sodium acetate precipitates from a supersaturated solution.

Precipitate:

• Solid product formed from reactants in

solution.

• AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

Can predict formation of precipitates

based on solubility “rules.”

We learned in Ch 4, p. 134, that the electrostatic energy (strength) of an

ionic bond depended on the product of the charges, divided by the

internuclear distance. The solubility of ionic compounds generally

follows the trend that the greater the charge, and the shorter the

internuclear distance, the more insoluble the compound is.

Section 8.6 - Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (electron transfer reactions)

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (Redox):

Characterized by gain or loss of electrons by atoms involved in the reaction.

Oxidation:

Historical definition = gain of oxygen (sometimes with a simultaneous loss of hydrogen)

e.g. 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

Modern definition = loss of electrons

Reduction:

Historical definition = loss of oxygen (sometimes with a simultaneous gain in hydrogen)

e.g. Fe2O3 + 3 CO 2 Fe + 3 CO2

Modern definition = gain of electrons

Balancing Redox Reactions in Acid and Base (We’re going to use a simpler method than the book

called the Method of Half Reactions)

continue as if in acidic solution, but at the end each H+ ion will be neutralized by

adding OH- ions

6. Balance charge by adding electrons; for the oxidation half-reaction, the electrons

will be on the right, for the reduction half-reaction, the electrons will appear on the

7. Make sure the number of electrons in each half-reaction are the same. Then add

the half reactions together

8. Make sure that the equation is balanced for mass and for charge

5. Balance hydrogen by adding (a) H+ in acidic solutions, (b) in basic solutions,

continue as if in acidic solution, but at the end each H+ ion will be neutralized

by adding OH- ions

S and Mn are

already balanced

6. Balance charge by adding electrons; for the oxidation half-reaction, the electrons

will be on the right, for the reduction half-reaction, the electrons will appear on the

left

7. Make sure the number of electrons in each half-reaction are the same. Then add

the half reactions together

Titrations In a titration a solution of accurately known concentration is

added gradually added to another solution of unknown

concentration until the chemical reaction between the two

solutions is complete.

Equivalence point – the point at which the reaction is complete

Indicator – substance that changes color at (or near) the

equivalence point

Slowly add base

to unknown acid

UNTIL

the indicator

changes color

Suppose it takes 22.40 mL of 0.00100 M sodium hydroxide to react completely with

the sulfuric acid in a 100.0 mL sample of acidic mine drainage. What was the

molarity of the sulfuric acid?

2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) 2H2O + Na2SO4

22.40 mL

Sample Exercise 8.13: Apple cider vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid (MW = 60.05) made from fermented

apple juice. Commercial vinegar must contain at least 4 grams of acetic acid per 100 mL of

vinegar. Suppose the titration of a 25.00 mL sample of vinegar requires 12.15 mL of 1.885 M

sodium hydroxide. What is the molarity of acetic acid in the vinegar sample? Does it meet the

4 g/100 mL standard?
