•
How is a precipitate different from insoluble?
• Solute ions that don’t dissociate… ~ insoluble
•Already dissolved ions get together to form a new compound ~precipitate
What does the formation of a precipitate indicate?
Precipitates indicate a chemical reaction occurred
How can we know if an ionic compound will dissolve?
Two ways:
1. Mix different solutions together and see what happens, or…
2. Learn from what others have already done.
• When two aqueous ionic compounds are mixed together, the compounds will either dissociate , or precipitate
• If no reaction occurs, write NR.
Evidence of a double displacement reaction:
• Precipitate
• Gas
• Water
Precipitate Reactions
• Based on the solubility guidelines
• Example:
Na2SO4(aq) + 2AgNO3(aq) Ag2SO4(S) + 2NaNO3(aq)
Reactions Forming a Gas
Reactions that produce a compound that decomposes into a gas and water
Example:
K2SO3(aq) + 2 HNO3(aq) 2 KNO3(aq) + SO2(s) + H2O(l)
CaCO3(aq) +2 HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq) + CO2 (s) + H2O(l)
Reactions Forming Water
• Neutralization reaction between an acid and a base to produce water and a salt
Example:
H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) K2SO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
Solubility •Precipitation refers to the formation of a solid from ions. A precipitate is “insoluble” •Soluble and insoluble are general terms to describe how much of a solid dissolves. •Solubility can be predicted from rules ( Table 1 on pg.424) •You will have to memorize some of these rules, and you will need to know how to use the rules to predict solubility.
Slightly Soluble?
Consider it insoluble
Almost everything dissolves at least a little bit.
General Solubility Rules • Salts are generally more soluble in HOT water (Gases are
more soluble in COLD water)
• Alkali Metal salts are very soluble in water.
NaCl, KOH, Li3PO4, Na2SO4 etc...
• Ammonium salts are very soluble in water.
NH4Br, (NH4)2CO3 etc…
• Salts containing the nitrate ion, NO3-, are very soluble in
water.
• Most salts of Cl-, Br- and I- are very soluble in water - exceptions are salts containing Ag+ and Pb2+.
soluble salts: FeCl2, AlBr3, MgI2 etc...
“insoluble” salts: AgCl, PbBr2 etc...
Soluble or Insoluble? a) Ca(NO3)2 - Soluble rule (salts containing NO3
- are soluble) b) FeCl2 - Soluble rule (all chlorides are soluble) c) Ni(OH)2 - Insoluble rule (all hydroxides are insoluble) d) AgNO3 - Soluble rule (salts containing NO3
- are soluble) e) BaSO4 - Insoluble rule (Sulfates are soluble, except … Ba2+) f) CuCO3 - Insoluble rule (containing CO3
2- are insoluble)

Review: forming ions • Ionic (i.e. salt) refers to +ve ion plus -ve ion • Usually this is a metal + non-metal or metal + polyatomic
ion (e.g. NaCl, NaClO3, Li2CO3) • Polyatomic ions are listed in the nomenclature package • (aq) means aqueous (dissolved in water) • For salts (aq) means the salt exists as ions • NaCl(aq) is the same as: Na+(aq) + Cl–(aq) • Acids form ions: HCl(aq) is H+(aq) + Cl–(aq), Bases form ions: NaOH(aq) is Na+ + OH– Q - how is charge determined (+1, -1, +2, etc.)? A - via valences (periodic table or see the nomenclature
package ) • F, Cl gain one electron, thus forming F–, Cl– • Ca loses two electrons, thus forming Ca2+
Background: valences and formulas • Charge can also be found via the compound • E.g. in NaNO3(aq) if you know Na forms Na+, then NO3
must be NO3– (NaNO3 is neutral)
• By knowing the valence of one element you can often determine the other valences
Q - Write the ions that form from Al2(SO4)3(aq)? Step 1 - look at the formula: Al2(SO4)3(aq) Step 2 - determine valences: Al3 (SO4)2
(Al is 3+ according to the periodic table)
Step 3 - write ions: 2Al3+(aq) + 3SO42–(aq)
• Note that there are 2 aluminums because Al has a subscript of 2 in the original formula
Practice with writing ions Q - Write ions for Na2CO3(aq)
A - 2Na+(aq) + CO32–(aq) (from the PT Na is 1+. There are 2,
thus we have 2Na+. There is only one CO3. It must have a 2- charge)
• Notice that when ions form from molecules, charge can be separated, but the total charge (and number of each atom) stays constant.
Q - Write ions for Ca3(PO4)2(aq) & Cd(NO3)2(aq)
A - 3Ca2+(aq) + 2PO43–(aq)
A - Cd2+(aq) + 2NO3–(aq)
Q - Write ions for Na2S(aq) and Mg3(BO3)2(aq)
A - 2Na+(aq) + S2–(aq), 3Mg2+(aq)+ 2BO33–(aq)
Demo:
• When a colourless solution of lead(II) nitrate is added to a colourless solution of potassium iodide, a bright yellow precipitate of lead(II) iodide is obtained. Although, the lead(II) iodide is ionic, it is insoluble in water - hence the formation of the precipitate. This reaction can be represented by the following equation:
• Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq) KNO3(aq) + Pb(I)2(s)
Types of chemical equations Equations can be divided into 3 types 1) Molecular, 2) Ionic, 3) Net ionic • Here is a typical molecular equation: Cd(NO3)2(aq) + Na2S(aq) CdS(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
• We can write this as an ionic equation (all compounds that are (aq) are written as ions):
Cd2+(aq) + 2NO3–(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + S2–(aq)
CdS(s) + 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3–(aq)
• To get the NET ionic equation we cancel out all terms that appear on both sides:
Net: Cd2+(aq) + S2–(aq) CdS(s)
Ionic Equations Ionic:
Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + NH4
+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Note: combine, in your head, the positive and
negative ions. If together a pair is insoluble, they
will form a precipitate (s).
In this case AgCl is insoluble
Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + NH4
+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
AgCl(s) + NO3-(aq) + NH4
+(aq)
Net ionic: Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl(s)
If no solid is formed then write N.R.
Equations must be balanced • There are two conditions for molecular, ionic, and
net ionic equations
Materials balance
Both sides of an equation should have the same number of each type of atom
Electrical balance
Both sides of a reaction should have the same net charge
Q- When NaOH(aq) and MgCl2(aq) are mixed, _______ (s) and NaCl(aq) are produced. Write balanced molecular, ionic & net ionic equations
Mg(OH)2
Determining net ionic reactions
Step 1: Write formula for reactants and products using valences. Products are determined by switching +ve and –ve.
Step 2: Determine if any products are insoluble (use solubility rules). Note: all reactants must be soluble (i.e. aq) in order to mix.
If all products are aqueous: “no reaction”
Step 3: Balance the equation
Step 4: Write the ionic equation
Step 5: Write the net ionic equation
Step 4: Write the ionic equation
If you look at what we call the IONIC EQUATION, you will note that some of the ions are common to both the reactant and product side of the equation.
Such ions are called SPECTATOR IONS, as they play no part in the observed reaction. In fact, these spectator ions may be cancelled from each side of the equation, leaving only the
NET IONIC EQUATION.
Step 5: Write the net ionic equation
NaOH(aq) + MgCl2(aq) Mg(OH)2(s) + NaCl(aq)
Next, balance the equation
First write the skeleton equation

Ionic equation:
2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) Mg(OH)2(s) + 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
Net ionic equation:
2OH-(aq) + Mg2+(aq) Mg(OH)2(s)
Write balanced ionic and net ionic equations: CuSO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) CuCl2(aq) + BaSO4(s)
Fe(NO3)3(aq) + LiOH(aq) ______(aq) + Fe(OH)3(s)
