Water, The Common Solvent
Hydration of an ionic compound will occur
when the partial positive end of a water
becomes attracted to the anions in the
compound; likewise for the partial negative
center of the water and the cations.
Solubility depends on the strength of the
intermolecular attractions between the ions
and water, as well as the intramolecular
attractions of the cations and anions of the
compound.
NH4NO3(s)  NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
What can dissolve in H2O?

Oils

Non-Polar Substances
ex: turpentine
Because of intermolecular forces: the OH group on
the sugars and alcohols is particularly attractive to a
water molecule.

Composition of Solutions


Concentration is measured in molarity,
molality, and many others.
Concentration DOES NOT directly express
the number of ions present in a solution.

Theoretical Calculations
What would you do to prepare a
standard solution? In your
answer, include specific pieces
of glassware, techniques, or
equipment you should use.
Dilutions

Dilution is the process used to make the solution
less concentrated.
moles before dilution = moles after dilution
Because M =mol/L,
V1(M1) = V2(M2)
Lab Technique: Use a pipet to deliver the correct
amount of original solution to a volumetric flask.
Add some water, swirl. Fill to line, invert.

You have a large quantity of 0.9 M
NaOH solution available. Dilute this
to 100.0mL of a 0.05 M solution.
Submit your calculations and
solution to your teacher.

All compounds containing alkali metal cations and the ammonium
ion are soluble.
All compounds containing NO3-, ClO4-, ClO3-, and C2H3O2- anions are
soluble.
All chlorides, bromides, and iodides are soluble except those
containing Ag+, Pb2+, and Hg2+.
All sulfates are soluble except those containing Hg2+, Pb2+, Sr2+,
Ca2+, and Ba2+.
All hydroxides are only slightly soluble, except those containing an
alkali metal, Ca2+, Ba2+,and Sr2+. NaOH and KOH are the most
soluble hydroxides.
All compounds containing PO43-, S2-, CO32-, and SO32- are only
slightly soluble except for those containing alkali metals or the
ammonium ion.


Stoichiometry in a precipitation reaction is
performed just like stoichiometry for a
molecular reaction.
You need to know which ion comes from
which molecular formula.

Redox Reactions
What is it??
-A reaction that occurs in conjunction with a
transfer of electrons.
We assign oxidation states to individual atoms in a
reaction to observe the change in electrons.
Oxidation states
are written with
the +/- sign
before the quantity.
Ion charges are
written with the
+/- sign behind
the quantity.
The Oxidation State of…
An atom in element form
A monatomic ion
Fluorine in a compound
Oxygen in a compound
Quantity of Oxid. State Examples
Zero
Equal to the charge on
the ion

where it is -1
