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.

Barium sulfate is used to enhance Xray imaging of the upper and lower GI tract. In
upper GI imaging, patients drink a suspension of solid barium sulfate in H2O. The

a precipitation reaction is employed: aqueous solutions of soluble barium nitrate
and sodium sulfate are mixed together, and solid barium sulfate is separated by

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)

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

Plan: M x V = mol NaOH mol H2SO4 M

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?
