Balancing Equations
•There are some tips on balancing equations in your text. On
page 206.
•Most important: Do not change subscruipts, only change
coefficients.
•The goal is to have the same number of each type of atom
on both sides.
•Some examples:
•H2(g) + Cl2(g) HCl(g)
•There are 2 H on left, but 1 on right. 2 in front of HCl
•H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2 HCl(g)
•The equation is balanced.

More examples Example
Cr(s) + O2(g) Cr2O3(s)
• Balance the Cr with a 2
2 Cr(s) + O2(g) Cr2O3(s)
•The right has 2 O but the left has 3 O. Balance
by switch those and there will be 6 O on both sides.
2 Cr(s) + 3O2(g) 2Cr2O3(s)
•This unbalances the Cr, fix by changing the 2 to a 4
4 Cr(s) + 3 O2(g) 2Cr2O3(s)
•Always check at the end.
•4 Cr 4 Cr
•6 O 6 O

•Balance the Cl with a 3
FcCl3(aq) + NaOH Fe(OH)3(s) + 3 NaCl(aq)
•Balance the Na with a 3

Aqueous Solutions
Aqueous solutions are a substance (solute) dissolved in water
(solvent). The resulting mixture is a solution.
Ionic solids that dissolve in water dissociate (or break up) into ions
That are surrounded by water in solution. Do nmot break apart

Electrolytes, Continued
• In strong electrolytes, 100% of
formula units are separated into
ions.
• In nonelectrolytes, none of the
molecules are separated into
ions.
• In weak electrolytes, a small
percentage of the molecules are
separated into ions.
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry",
Chapter 7
27
Types of Electrolytes
• Salts = Water soluble ionic compounds.
Strong electrolytes.
• Acids = Form H+ ions and anions in water solution.
In binary acids, the anion is monoatomic. In oxyacids, the anion
is polyatomic.
Sour taste.
React and dissolve many metals.
Strong acid = strong electrolyte, weak acid = weak electrolyte.
• Bases = Water-soluble metal hydroxides.
Bitter taste, slippery (soapy) feeling solutions.
Increases the OH- concentration.

28
When Will a Salt Dissolve?
• A compound is soluble in a liquid if it dissolves in that liquid.
• The compound is a solute, the liquid is a solvent, and the mixture is a solution.
NaCl is soluble in water, but AgCl is not soluble.

developed to help predict when a
compound will dissolve

Precipitation Reaction occurs in Water
• Dissociate soluble compounds into ions
• Check combinations of cations and anions for
solubility using the rules.
• If cation is Li+, Na+, K+, or NH4+, then the
compound will be soluble in water.
• If another cation, follow the rules for the anion.
• If a precipitate forms, use charges to write correct
formula for the precipitate and the other product.

in Water

soluble, all K+ compounds are soluble
• AgBr Ag+ and Br-
insoluble, all Br- are soluble, but Ag+ is an exception.
• CaCl2 Ca2+ and Cl-
Soluble, all Cl- are soluble, and Ca2+ is not an exception

Tro's "Introductory Chemistry",

Oxidation–Reduction Reactions
• The element that loses electrons in the reaction is oxidized.
• Substance that gains electrons in the reaction is reduced.
• You cannot have one without the other.
• In combustion, the O atoms in O2 are reduced, and the non-O atoms in the other material are oxidized.
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry",
Chapter 7
61
Combustion as Redox
• In the following reaction:
2 Mg(s) + O2(g) 2 MgO(s)
• The magnesium atoms are oxidized.
2Mg0 2Mg2+ + 4 e
• The oxygen atoms are reduced.
O20 + 4 e 2O2
• Adding the oxidation and reduction cancels
the electrons and gives the overall reaction
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry",
Chapter 7
62
Combustion as Redox, Continued• Even though the following reaction does not involve ion
formation, electrons are still transferred.
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
• The carbon atoms are oxidized.
C4 C4+ + 8 e
These are not charges, they are called oxidation numbers, but they help us see the electron transfer.
• The oxygen atoms are reduced.

63
Reactions of Metals with Nonmetals
(Oxidation–Reduction)• Metals react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.
Ionic compounds are solids at room temperature.
• The metal loses electrons and becomes a cation.
The metal undergoes oxidation.
• The nonmetal gains electrons and becomes an anion.
The nonmetal undergoes reduction.
• In the reaction, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal.

as Redox
• In the reaction:
Mg(s) + Cl2(g) MgCl2(s)
• The magnesium atoms are oxidized.
Mg0 Mg2+ + 2 e
• The chlorine atoms are reduced.
2Cl0 + 2 e 2Cl
65
Recognizing Redox Reactions• O2 is a reactant or a product.
• Any reaction between a metal and a nonmetal.
• Any reaction where electrons are transferred is redox.
When a free element gets combined
N2(g) + H2(g) NH3(g)
Nitrogen (-3) reduced and hydrogen (0 +1) oxidized
When a metal cation changes its charge, it will be either oxidized if its charge increases or reduced if its charge decreases.
Cu(s) + 2AgCl(aq) CuCl2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Net equation:
Cu0(s) + 2Ag+(aq) Cu2+(aq) + 2Ag0 (s)
Copper (0 2+) is oxidized, and silver (1+ 0) is reduced.
A free element (uncombined) like Cu(s), Ag(s), or O2(g) has charge zero
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry",

Following Reactions Is a Redox Reaction.
2 Al(s) + 3 Br2(l) 2 AlBr3(s) redox (metal + nonmetal)
Ba(NO3)2(s) + 2 KCl(aq) BaCl2(s) + KNO3(aq) Not redox
