CHEMISTRY REVIEW
Ionic Bonding• Ionic compounds are formed when one or
more valence electrons are transferred from a metal atom to a non-metal atom.
General properties
• high Melting Point , Boiling point and hard. It takes a lot of energy to break the bonds between the ions.
• When ionic compounds are dissolved in water they dissociate into their ions. • Conduct electricity when dissolved in water
• NaCl(s) Na+(aq) + Cl-
(aq)
Example – Ca bonds with O
Step 1
• Ca O
Step 2
• 2+ 2-
• Ca O
Step 3
• 2+ 2-
• Ca O
Step 4
• Ca2O2 = CaO
•The 2’s disappeared because we reduced to lowest terms.
IUPAC nomenclature
• is a system of naming chemical compounds. It is maintained by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
Ionic Binary compounds
• A binary compound is one that only contains two elements in the compound.
• An ionic binary compound is a compound contains one metal and one non-metal.
Ionic Binary Compounds: IUPAC Naming
• Consists of two types of monoatomic ions
1. The metal ion is always written first and retains its whole name
2. The non-metal is written second and has a slight change, the ending (suffix) is changed to –ide
Example:
• Na+ Cl- use the cross over method NaCl
• IUPAC name: sodium chloride
• The metal name is written in full and the non-metal has the –ide suffix added to it.
• Sodium chloride
• Binary compounds can be made up of more than two ions, provided that there are only two types of elements. Example: Al2O3
Ionic Multivalent Binary Compounds
• A multivalent compound is one that may have varied numbers of electrons in its valence shell. This means that they can form compounds in various proportions.
• SnO2 Sn4+O2- tin (IV) oxide
• SnO Sn2+O2- tin (II) oxide
Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic Ions are ions that are composed of more than one atom. The entire molecule carries a charge to it.
Also Called Radicals (Bottom of Data Sheet)
Ammonium, Acetate, Carbonate, Nitrate, hydroxide, Phosphate, Sulphate, Chlorate, Bromate, Iodate.

Bonding
• Ionic Bonding with polyatomic ions occurs in the same manner as it does with binary atomic molecules. (Use the crossover method) Examples.
•
• . NaOH =
• sodium hydroxide
• Cu(ClO4)2 =
• copper (II) perchlorate
• Tin (IV) chlorate =
• Sn (ClO3)4
Example
Step 1
Na + NO3-
Step 21+ 1-
Na NO3
Step 31+ 1-
Na NO3
Step 4
NaNO3
Word Equations• A word equation is a way of representing a
chemical reaction: It tells you what reacts and what is produced.
• Examples:• Silver nitrate + copper silver + copper (II) nitrate
Reactants Products
• Hydrogen + Oxygen water vapour
Reactants Products
The Conservation of Mass
• In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is always equal to the total mass of the products.
• This tells us a few things. • Atoms do not change in a reaction. The molecules
that they form can be changed but the atoms themselves are not.
• Mass cannot be destroyed. If it could we could use E = MC2 to create energy
Skeleton equations + Balancing Equations
Example:
•CH4 + O2 H2O + CO2
•The above equation does not demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass. The law states that the mass of the products will equal the mass of the reactants. This one does (it is balanced)
•CH4 + 2 O2 2 H2O + CO2
Balancing
• We can’t change the formulas of the products or reactants so the only thing we can do is change the number of molecules instead of their formulas.
• CH4 + O2 + O2 H2O +H2O + CO2
• = CH4 + 2O2 2H2O + CO2
• Now the chemical equation is balanced and the mass of the reactants will equal the mass of the products. YoumustaddMoleculestoBalancetheatoms!!!

Types of chemical reactions
0. Combustion Reaction
- The reaction of a substance with oxygen, producing oxides and energy
• Fuel + oxygen oxides + energy
• AB + oxygen common oxides of A and B (ex AO, BO)
1. Synthesis Reaction
• -A chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a more complex substance.
• A + B AB
• Example:
• 2CO(g) + O2(g) pt 2CO2(g)
2. Decomposition reaction
• -A chemical reaction in which a compound is broken down into two or more simpler substances.
• AB A + B
• Example: The decomposition of water.
• 2H2O(l) + electricity 2 H2(g) + O2(g)
3. Single Displacement reaction• -A reaction of an element with a compound to produce a
new element and a new compound. The reaction will only occur if the element is higher on the reactivity series than the metal in the compound. (Reactivity series on the next slide)
• A + BC AC + B
•
• Example:
• Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)
4. Double displacement reaction
• - A reaction in which aqueous ionic compounds rearrange cations and anions, resulting in the formation of new compounds.
• AB + CD AD + CB
• Example:
• Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2KI (aq) PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)
A reaction will only occur if the element is higher on the reactivity
series than the metal in the compound.
WHEN DOES A REACTION OCCUR?
Chemical reactions in solution
• A Solution is a homogenous mixture in which a pure substance, called the solute, is dissolved in another pure substance called the solvent.
•
• The solution is often an aqueous solution which is a solution where water is the solvent.
Review of Particle Theory
1. All Matter is made up of extremely tiny particles
2. Each Pure substance has its own kind of particles, different from the particles of other pure substances
3. Particles are always moving. Particles at a higher temperature are generally moving faster, on average than particles at a lower temperature.
4. Particles attract each other
Collision Model (theory)
• Atoms and molecules are constantly bumping into each other. If they are moving too slowly no reaction will occur.
• Molecules that are moving quickly enough may break bonds between atoms and the atoms may combine to form new molecules (new products).
• The exact energy required for a particular old bond to be broken and a new one to be formed is called the 'Activation Energy.
Collision Model (theory)
• Two factors increase the rate of reaction
1) Number of collisions
2) Number of effective/successful collisions
4 Factors that affect rates of reactions
1. Temperature When the reactants are heated, they bounce and contact more vigorously with other reactant molecules. This increases the number of successful collision and the rate of reaction. This is the most important factor.
4 Factors that affect rates of reactions
2. Concentration
• Concentration is defined as the number of molecules of reactants per unit volume. The more the concentration of reactant molecules, the higher the probability of collision due to their sheer number. Excess concentration may have no effect if one of the reactants is used up.
4 Factors that affect rates of reactions
3. Surface Area
• By increasing surface area, the number of molecules exposed for collisions is increased. This allows more collisions between molecules to occur and increases the rate of reaction.
4 Factors that affect rates of reactions
4. Catalyst
• Catalysts, are chemicals or substances that catalyze or promote a chemical reaction to occur and remaining unchanged in the end. They are like parts of an assembling mechanism that help making the final product but then detach themselves from it. They lower the activation energy.
Acids and Bases
• Acids are traditionally considered any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a hydrogen ion [H+] activity greater than in pure water, i.e. a pH less than 7.0.
• When Acids are dissolved in water they release H+
.
• Ex HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl-
(aq)
They also:
• Taste sour
• Are good conductors of electricity (they release H+ ions when they are in water)
• React with compounds that contain carbonate
• Are generally quite reactive
• Inflict a sharp burning pain when handled
• Turn blue litmus red
Naming Acids
• There are two rules for naming acids when the chemical formula of an acid starts with H and has only one other non-metallic element
Step Examples
HCl (aq) HF (aq)
1. Start with the Prefix “hydro” hydro Hydro
2.To the first part of the name of the non-metallic element, add the suffix “ic” and add the word “acid”
Hydrochloric acid
Hydrofluoric acid
Naming Acids (with polyatomic ions)
• Some acids contain a polyatomic ion. When the polyatomic ion in an acid contains an oxygen atom (O) and its name ends in “ate”, the acid can be named by the steps shown below.
Step Examples
H2SO4(aq) H3PO4(aq)
1. Start with the name of the element in the polyatomic ion that is not oxygen
sulphur phosphorus
2.Add the suffix “ic” and the word “acid” sulphuric acid
phosphorusic acid
Common acids
Common name Formula Source or use
Vinegar (acetic acid) HC2H3O2 or HC2H2OOH Salad dressing
Citric acid HC6H7O7 Oranges, lemons
Ascorbic acid HC6H7O6 Vitamin C
Lactic acid HC 3H5O3 Sour milk or tired muscles
Sulfuric acid H2SO4 Car batteries
Table 1 Examples of common acids include
• Acids are widely used in industry, they are used in many manufacturing processes including; fertilizers, explosives, refining oil, and electroplating materials.
•
• Acids that that react with metals and glass are described as being Corrosive. These acids can be dangerous to humans and the environment.
Base
• A base is most commonly thought of as an aqueous substance that can accept hydrogen ions.
• bases can commonly be thought of as any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a pH higher than 7.0.
• When bases are released in water they release OH- ions
• Example
• NaOH (aq) Na+ (aq) + OH-
(aq)
They also:
• Taste bitter
• Are good conductors of electricity (They release OH- ions when dissolved in water)
• Break down proteins into smaller molecules
• May also be called alkaline
• Feel slippery when handled
• Turn Red litmus blue
Identifying and Naming Bases
• A base can also be identified from its name or its chemical formula. A substance is a base if its name begins with the name of a metallic ion and ends with the word “hydroxide.” A substance is also a base if:
• the chemical formula starts with a metallic ion or with the ammonium ion NH4+
AND
• the chemical formula ends with OH (called a hydroxyl group)
Naming Bases
• The name of a base can be determined from its chemical formula. Notice that all bases (in this class) are followed by the word “hydroxide.”
Naming Bases
Step Examples
KOH (aq) NH4OH (aq)
1. Write the name of the positively charged metallic ion that is at the beginning of the chemical formula. This step remains the same if the positively charged ion is a polyatomic ion.
Potassium Ammonium
1. Add the word “hydroxide” Potassium hydroxide
Ammonium hydroxide
Table 2 Examples of some common bases
Common Name Formula Source or use
Sodium hydroxide NaOH Drain cleaner
Potassium hydroxide KOH Soap, cosmetics
Aluminum hydroxide Al(OH) 3 Antacids
Ammonium hydroxide
NH 4OH Window cleaner.
Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 Baking soda, used in baking
Potassium sulphite K2SO3 Food preservative
Acid - Base Indicators:
• The most common indicator is found on "litmus" paper. It is red below pH 4.5 and blue above pH 8.2
• .
Color Blue Litmus Red Litmus
Acid turns red stays same
Base stays same turns blue
Acid - Base Indicators:
• Other commercial pH papers are able to give colors for every main pH unit. Universal Indicator, which is a solution of a mixture of indicators, is able to also provide a full range of colors for the pH scale.
The Strength of Acids and Bases
• The strength of acids and bases are not all equal. Some acids and bases are safe enough to eat while others can eat through clothing and metal.
The Strength of Acids and Bases
• Some acids and bases are classified as being strong while others are called weak.
• -Strong acids and bases are extremely reactive and corrosive.
• -Weak acids and bases are mostly unreactive and corrosive.
The pH Scale(power of Hydrogen)
• pH scale is used to represent how acidic or basic a solution is. The scale ranges from 0-14 with very acidic being 0, neutral being 7, and very basic being 14.
• Every point on the scale represents a 10 base exponent difference.
• Ex lemons (pH = 2.0) are 100 times more acidic than tomatoes (pH = 4.0)
• 7.0 is neutral (neither acidic nor basic (alkaline)).
• Acids range from 0-6.9
• Bases range from 7.1 -14
The pH Scale(power of Hydrogen)
Neutralization Reactions • What happens when an acid and a base are
mixed?
•
• When an acid and a base are mixed they react to form products that have a pH of near or at 7, this is defined as a neutralization reaction. A Neutralization reaction always produces a salt and water.
•
Neutralization Reactions• The products of a neutralization reaction
of an acid and a base are salt and water.
• Acid + Base Salt + water
Neutralization ReactionsExample:
• Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium chloride + water
• HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl + H2O
Applications:
•Antacids are examples of the use of a weak base to neutralize excess stomach acid. Antacids can be weak hydroxide bases such as magnesium hydroxide which reacts with excess stomach acid to form water and a salt. Antacids can also be bicarbonates such as sodium bicarbonate which reacts with the excess acid to form water, carbon dioxide and a salt
