Chapter Overview
Writing Chemical Reactions
Chemical reactions may be classified as combination, decomposition, or replacement. Replacement
reactions are subclassified as either single- or double-replacement.
Types of Chemical Reactions
Reactions that produce products with similar characteristics are often classified as a single group. For
example, the formation of a precipitate denotes precipitation reactions.
Chemical reactions that have a common reactant may be grouped together. Reactions involving
oxygen - combustion reactions - are such a class.
Another approach to the classification of chemical reactions is based on charge transfer. Acid-base
reactions involve proton (H+) transfer and oxidation-reduction reactions involve the transfer of one or
more electrons.
Properties of Solutions
The majority of chemical reactions, and virtually all important organic and biochemical processes,
occur in solution. A solution is composed of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. In aqueous
solutions, the solvent is water.
Liquid solutions are clear and transparent with no visible particles of solute. They may be colored or
colorless, depending on the properties of the solute and solvent.
In solutions of electrolytes, the solutes are ionic compounds that have dissociated; the solution
conducts electricity. Solutions of nonelectrolytes are nonconducting.
The degree of solubility depends on the difference between the polarity of solute and solvent ("like
dissolves like"), the temperature, and, for solutions of gases, the pressure.
A saturated solution contains all the solute that can be dissolved at a particular temperature. A
supersaturated solution is an unstable condition that occurs when more than the theoretical amount of
solute is temporarily held in solution. Colloidal suspensions have particle sizes between those of true
solutions and precipitates. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains particles much larger
than a colloidal suspension. Over time, these particles may settle, forming a second phase.
Henry's law describes the solubility of gases in liquids. At a given temperature the solubility of a gas
is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.
Concentration of Solutions: Percentage
The amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solution is the solution concentration. The more
widely used percentage-based concentration units are weight/volume percent and weight/weight percent.
Concentration of Solutions: Moles and Equivalents
Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. Dilution calculations require both
concentrations (V1 and V2) to be in the same units.
When discussing solutions of ionic compounds, molarity emphasizes the number of individual ions.
In contrast, equivalents per liter emphasizes charge. One equivalent of an ion is the number of grams of
the ion corresponding to a mole of electrical charges. Changing from molarity to equivalents per liter (or
the reverse) is done using conversion factors.
Concentration-Dependent Solution Properties
Colligative properties are properties that depend on concentration rather than the identity of the
solute. Four colligative properties are: vapor pressure lowering, freezing-point depression, boiling-point
elevation and osmotic pressure. Each has a number of very practical ramifications.
Molality (m), is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent in a solution, and is more
commonly used in calculations involving colligative properties. Osmolarity (osmol) is the molarity of
particles that is used for osmotic pressure () in the equation:  = MRT.
Hypertonic solutions cause the outflow of water from a cell, resulting in crenation (cell collapse).
Hypotonic solutions cause water to flow into the cell, resulting in hemolysis (cell rupture). Isotonic
solutions have identical osmotic pressures.
Water as a Solvent
The role of water in the solution process deserves special attention. Water is often referred to as the
"universal solvent," and it is the principal biological solvent. These characteristics are a direct
consequence of the molecular geometry and structure of water and its ability to undergo hydrogen
bonding.
Electrolytes in Body Fluids
The concentration of cations, anions, and other substances in biological fluids is critical to health. As
a result, the osmolarity of body fluids is carefully regulated by the kidney using the process of dialysis.
Hints for Faster Coverage
Molarity, osmolarity, and dilution are the most important concentration calculations. If desired, the
percentage composition calculations might be minimized or omitted.

In-Chapter Perspectives
A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE: Scuba Diving - Nitrogen and the Bends. The dependence of nitrogen
solubility in the blood on pressure is the basis for a discussion of a deep-water diver's worse fear, the
bends.
A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE: Oral Rehydration Therapy. This perspective connects the concept of
osmolarity with the only effective treatment for cholera, oral rehydration therapy.
A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE: An Extraordinary Molecule. The structure-property relationship is best
exemplified by the molecule H2O. The role of water in environmental and biochemical systems is
prescribed by its unique set of physical and chemical properties that result from its size, shape and
electron arrangement.
A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE: Hemodialysis. This perspective connects chemistry to medicine through
continually-improving technology. In the classroom, the instructor could solicit examples of other such
applications and this could help to promote classroom discussion.
Additional Perspectives
The relationship between concentration, discussed in the chapter, and dosage of medication may be
shown. The importance of minimizing side reactions, many potentially serious, is something which all
students interested in a health related profession must know. Many of the rules governing reactions in
beakers and flasks also apply to those reactions occurring in the human body.
Critical Thinking Problems
1. and 2. These questions emphasize the importance of the number of particles, rather than mass of
particles, in predicting the effect of concentration on colligative properties.
3., 4., 5., and 6. These problems test the ability of a student to design an experiment targeted to solve a

Four colligative solution properties are:
•
Vapor pressure lowering. Raoult's Law states that when a solute is added to a solvent, the
vapor pressure of the solvent decreases in proportion to the concentration of the solute.
•
Freezing-point depression. When a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent, the freezingpoint of the resulting solution decreases.
•
Boiling-point elevation. When a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point of
the resulting solution increases.
•
Osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of solvent from a dilute solution to a more concentrated
solution through a semipermeable membrane.
A wilted plant regains its "health" when watered due to osmosis. The water, a dilute solution of
ions, moves to a more concentrated region (the dehydrated plant). The resulting osmotic pressure
reverses the drooping phenomenon.
Overview of questions 7.56 - 7.60:
The molar concentration of both solutions is identical. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound
that dissociates in water to produce 2 ions for each ion pair. So, the molarity of particles is
2 x 0.50 M = 1.0 M.
Sucrose is a covalent, nondissociating compound; the number of particles is the same as the
number of molecules. Thus, the molarity of particles is 0.50 M. Armed with this information, we
can now answer the questions.
7.56
The NaCl solution would boil at a higher temperature since it has a larger number of particles/L.
Consequently, the sodium chloride solution would have a higher boiling point. (Remember,
solute particles elevate the boiling point).
7.58
Osmotic pressure results from the movement of solvent from a dilute solution to a more
concentrated solution. (Concentration refers to the number of particles/L.) Since the NaCl
solution has the higher concentration, it must have the lower osmotic pressure.
7.60
Using our definition of osmotic pressure,

= MRT
M must be represented as osmolarity.
M =

Now, substituting in our osmotic pressure equation:

= (0.50 mol particles/L) x (0.0821 Latm/Kmol particles) x 298 K = 12 atm
(Note, two significant figures for the answer; the sucrose concentration has two significant
figures)

The interactive network of water molecules in the liquid state is illustrated in Figure 6.8 of the
textbook. It should be emphasized that this structure is 3-dimensional and extends throughout
the liquid.

If the dialysis solution has an elevated potassium ion concentration (perhaps equivalent to the
potassium ion concentration in the blood) there will be no net potassium ion loss due to the lack
of a potassium ion concentration difference between the two fluids. Remember, it is this
concentration difference that is the driving force for dialysis.

Depressed concentration of potassium ion in blood may lead to heart irregularities and ultimately
to death as a consequence of heart failure.

Chapter Overview
Thermodynamics
Two laws of thermodynamics, the science involved with energy flow in physical and chemical
change, are of particular importance to us. The first law, the law of conservation of energy, and the
second law, entropy or disorder, can provide us with basic information regarding the spontaneity of
chemical or physical processes as well as the amount of energy absorbed or released by the reaction.
Exothermic reactions release energy; endothermic reactions require energy input. The practical side of the
thermodynamics is presented through discussion of enthalpy, entropy, and free energy.
Experimental Determination of Energy Change in Reactions
A calorimeter measures heat changes (in calories or joules) that occur in chemical reactions. The
specific heat of a substances is the number of calories of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram
of the substance by one degree Celsius.
The amount of energy per gram of food is its fuel value, commonly reported in units of nutritional
Calories (1 nutritional Calorie = 1 kcal). A bomb calorimeter is useful for measurement of the fuel value
of foods.
Kinetics
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate of a chemical reaction. Recognizing that chemical reactions
result from effective collisions between potentially reacting particles, we show that factors such as the
structure of the reactant, its concentration, reaction temperature, and the presence or absence of a catalyst
influence reaction rates. The role of the activation energy in chemical processes determines reaction rates,
for we view the formation of the activated complex as an energy barrier to be overcome.
Equilibrium
Not all reactions proceed to completion. Many establish a dynamic equilibrium between products and
reactants, where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. LeChatelier's Principle states
that if a stress is placed on a system in equilibrium, the system will respond by altering the equilibrium in
such a way as to minimize the stress.
Hints for Faster Coverage
Coverage of the sections discussing thermodynamics and kinetics might be shortened, emphasizing
the experimental factors that affect reaction rate. For example, the section discussing the mathematical
representation of reaction rate may be omitted, without loss of continuity. The derivation of the
equilibrium-constant expression for physical and chemical systems may likewise be omitted.

In-Chapter Perspectives
A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE: Triboluminescence: Sparks in the Dark with Candy. This perspective
presents an example of the scientific method improving our understanding of everyday occurrences.
A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE: Hot and Cold Packs. Hot and cold packs provide a good opportunity for
the student to see a direct connection between basic science (endothermic and exothermic reactions) and a
commonplace product of technology used in a medical setting.
Additional Perspectives
Energy, rate, and equilibrium have almost unlimited practical applications. The storage and release of
energy in fossil fuels, the use of industrial catalysts to speed up the formation of commercially valuable
products, and the effect of enzymes on biological processes are just a few ideas that can be used to
stimulate student interest and discussion.

This problem can be used to emphasize the concept of reversibility; we reach the same equilibrium
point whether we begin with products or reactants. Also, the labels "product" and "reactant" are
somewhat arbitrary when used with equilibrium reactions.
This problem can be used to initiate a discussion of relationships and differences between the
concepts of kinetics and thermodynamics.
Modeling a reaction is a useful way to enhance student understanding of the processes that must
occur during chemical change.
Recognition of the real-life implication of exclusion of the terms for any solids from the equilibriumconstant expression results from the solution of this problem.
This problem allows the student to see LeChatelier's Principle in broader terms.
This problem is a practical, predictive application of LeChatelier's Principle.
This problem may help students understand heat flow in systems.

Entropy increases. Conversion of a single solid object, the log, into carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, and water (all gases) and ashes (disordered solid) increases the disorder of
the substance.
b.
Entropy decreases. A gas (more disordered) is converted to a liquid (less disordered). The
randomness of the water molecules has decreased.
8.38
A deck of cards is arranged in numerical order by suit (an organized system). Simply drop it on
the floor; randomness or disorder has increased. To return the deck of cards to its original
condition required an expenditure of energy to overcome the increase in entropy.
8.40
Energy is released when chemical bonds form. The bond energy is defined as the energy
released when a chemical bond is formed.
8.42
The activation energy is the threshold energy barrier that must be overcome to cause a chemical
reaction to take place.
8.44
Figure 8.10 of the textbook depicts a generalized endothermic reaction. The presence of a
catalyst would lower the activation energy (similar to the effect shown in Figure 8.11 of the
textbook, illustrated for an exothermic reaction) and would leave the initial and final energies
unchanged. Consequently, the change in enthalpy would remain the same.
8.46
An explosion is a very rapid and exothermic reaction. Fuel leaks are dangerous simply because
their reaction with oxygen is so rapid.
An adequate rate of reaction is essential for plant growth, the basis of agriculture. Chlorophyll,
present in the green leaves of plants, catalyzes the process of photosynthesis.
8.48
An increase in the temperature of reactants increases the rate of a reaction for two reasons:
• The speed of reactant molecules increases as the temperature increases. Faster-moving
molecules collide more frequently, increasing the probability of reaction.
•
Reactant molecules have more kinetic energy at higher temperatures; thus, a greater fraction
of all collisions will be effective collisions.

The catalyst is involved in the formation of the activated complex, an unstable intermediate in
the reaction. When the complex breaks apart to form products, the catalyst is regenerated; it is

completion, no reactants remain. During equilibrium, the concentration of products and
reactants remain unchanged.
b.
a reaction at equilibrium is undergoing continual change -- True; The rate at which
reactants form products equal the rate at which products reform reactants.

pure liquids are not a part of the equilibrium expression.
b.
