CHM 103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Spectator Ion, Salt Metathesis Reaction, Chemical Equation
Document Summary
A reaction occurs when any of the following are formed as new products (they were not already on the reactant side of the equation) Precipitation (both reactants ionic salts, neither is an acid) Molecular equation: znso4(aq) + na2c2o4(aq) znc2o4(s) + na2so4(aq) Ionize the reactants and products that are strong electrolytes: write the complete chemical equation showing reactants and products. 3: cancel the spectator ions (the identical ions, conserve atoms and charge and make sure the equation is balanced. Reactions with acids: metal hydroxide + acid metal salt of acid + h2o (acid-base reaction) Molecular equation: koh(aq) + hclo4(aq) kclo4(aq) + h2o(l) Net ionic equation: oh- + h+ h2o(l: metal oxide + acid metal salt of acid + h2o. Molecular equation: mno(s) + 2hno3(aq) mn(no3) 2(aq) + h2o(l) Net ionic equation: mno(s) + 2h+ mn2+ + h2o(l) Remember: weak acids do not dissociate: metal carbonate + acid metal salt of acid + h2o (l) + co2 (g)
