1. Predict whether the following oxidation-reduction reactions should occur as written:

a)      2 Ag(s) + S(s) --> Ag2S(s no

b)      2 Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) --> 2 Ag+(aq) + Cu(sno

c)      MnO4-(aq) + 3 Fe2+(aq) + 2 H2O(l) --> MnO2(s) + 3 Fe3+(aq) + 4 OH-(aq no

d)     MnO4-(aq) + 5 Fe2+(aq)+ 8 H+(aq) --> Mn2+(aq) + 5 Fe3+(aq) + 4 H2O(lyes


2. Which of the following pairs of ions cannot exist simultaneously in aqueous solutions?

(a) Cu+ and Fe3+     (b) Fe3+ and I-     (c) Al3+ and Co2+

a) no, a redox reaction will occur
b) no, a redox reaction will occur
c) no reaction will occur so these 2 ions can exist at the same time in the same solution

3. In this reaction:   Mn²⁺ + IO₃⁻ + H₂O → MnO₄⁻ + ½I₂+  2H⁺   What is the reducing agent?

The reducing agent is oxidized in a redox reaction.  Mn is oxidized (from +2 to +7)

4. Which of the following is most likely to gain electrons during a spontaneous redox reaction?, I₂, Li, Au or Hg?

I₂ - check position in redox table

5.  In this redox reaction,  C₂O₄²⁻- + MnO₂ → Mn²⁺ + 2CO₂  what has happened to the oxidation state of the C atom?

Oxidation state of C increases by 1. 

6.  What will happen if an iron nail is put into a solution of copper sulphate (CuSO₄)?

In this case we have Fe solid in a solution with Cu2+ and (SO4)2-.   A redox reaction should occur. Cu2+ is the oxidizing agent  in this reaction so it is reduced and Fe is oxidized to Fe2+ or Fe3+  

7.  What will happen if a piece of copper is left in a solution of zinc nitrate overnight?

In this case we have Cu solid in a solution of Zn2+ and  (NO3)-   Will copper solid be oxidized?  Zn2+ is not strong enough to oxidize copper, the copper will not replace the zinc.

Day 25 - 12 Jan 2011: Homework

youtube videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4SFv_2Skdc   entropy
relationship between exothermic/endothermic and



finish the vocabulary paper from yesterday [the words are below today's homework]

text, page 493, questions 1 to 11

the answers are in the text on page 817

If you want to try more equilibrium & solubility problems:


1. Calculate the [Mg2+] in a saturated solution of Mg(OH)2 at 25°C.  Ksp = 5.6 X 10 -12 

Mg(OH) <--> Mg2+ + 2 OH-
Ksp = [Mg2+] [OH¯]²  =  4x³    x = 1.1187 x 10 ¯⁴
= [Mg 2+]


2. Calculate the mass of AgIO3 which will dissolve in 2.50 L of water at 25°C.  Ksp = 3.2 x 10 -8
AgIO3 <--> Ag+  IO3-
Ksp = [Ag+] [IO3-] =
x = 1.79 x 10 ¯⁴ but this is molarity.  That is how much will dissolve in 1L.
The question asks for 2.50L, so multiply by 2.5 to get 4.47 x 10 ¯⁴ moles
1 mole AgIO3 = 282.8g, therefore, 4.47 x 10 ¯⁴ moles weighs 0.13g



3. At a certain temperature 2.2 x 10-4 grams of CuI (copper iodide) will dissolve in 1.0 L of water (to make a saturated solution). Calculate the Ksp for CuI at this temperature.

convert g to moles.  I mole CuI is 190.4 g,   1.155  x 10 ¯⁶  moles
CuI (s) <--> Cu+ +  I-
[ ] of each product is 1.155  x 10 ¯⁶  moles
Ksp = (1.155  x 10 ¯⁶  moles)²  =  1.3 x  10 ¯²



4. It is found that 1.892 x 10-13 grams of the compound cadmium (II) sulphide (CdS) will dissolve in
350.0 mL of water to form a saturated solution. Using this data, calculate the value for the Ksp of CdS

convert grams to moles, i mole CdS = 144.59g,  therefore 1.309 x 10¯ⁱ⁵ moles
volume = 0.35 L
therefore [ ] = 3.741 x 10¯ⁱ⁵ M
Ksp = (3.741 x 10¯ⁱ⁵) (3.741 x 10¯ⁱ⁵ M)  =  1.4 x 10 ¯²⁹


5. Calculate the molar solubility of calcium oxalate (CaC2O4).  Ksp = 2.3 x 10 -4
CaC2O4 <--> Ca 2+  = C2O4 2-
Ksp = [Ca2+] [C2O4 2-] = x² 
x = 4.8 x 10¯⁵ M and that is the molar solubility of CaC2O4



6. If 250.0 mL of 0.000340M Cu(NO3)2 is mixed with 350.0 mL of 3.12 x 10-4M KIO3 (potassium iodate), will a
precipitate form?

HINT
Think of possible precipitates.
Set up an equilibrium equation for that precipitate and it's ions.
You will need to know the Ksp for that solid.  check here: http://www.ktf-split.hr/periodni/en/abc/kpt.html
For the test on Friday I will give you a list of Ksp values.
answer:
Cu(IO3)2 is the most likely precipitate.  Cu(IO3)2 <--> Cu2+  + 2 IO₃⁻, Ksp for this compound is 6.9 x 10⁻⁸
calculate the concentrations of these two ions in the solution AFTER mixing.
determine Q,   Q = [Cu2+] [IO₃⁻]²  = 4.69 x 10⁻ⁱ²
Q < Ksp
so NO precipitate


7. What does "molar solubility" mean?
It is the number of moles of a substance that will dissolve in 1 L of solution  at SATP before the solution becomes saturated.

8. Which substance is probably more soluble in aqueous solution at SATP?
a) PbCl2 or KCl (potassium chloride)?    KCl
b) H2SO4 or CaSO4?   H2SO4
c) Ba(OH)2 or BaSO4?
  Ba(OH)2

9.  What does the Ksp for a substance tell you about that substance?
It is a measure of how soluble a substance is at a given temperature.

10. What is the relationship between trial ion product (or Q) and Ksp? 
Know the difference in meaning between Q> Ksp and Q < Ksp.

Both are calculated from the concentration of ions in the balanced equation that you are looking at.  Ksp is the value obtained if the solution is at equilibrium ( which is also the point where the solution is saturated).  Q is the value obtained at any other time during the reaction.
if Q > Ksp, there will be precipitate
if Q < Ksp, there will be no precipitate


11. If the solubility of Pb(OH)2 is 0.155 g/L, then the concentration of each ion in a saturated solution of a Pb(OH)2 is

  • a) [Pb2+] = 0.155 g/L and [OH-] = 0.155 g/L
  • b) [Pb2+] = 0.052 g/L and [OH-] = 0.103 g/L
  • c) [Pb2+] = 6.43 x 10-4 M and [OH-] 1.29 x 10-3 M
  • d) [Pb2+] = 6.43 x 10-4 M and [ 0H-]= 6.43 x 10-4 M
Pb(OH)2 <--> Pb2+ +  2OH-  so there will be twice as much OH- in moles.

12. At 25°C, the solubility of an unknown compound is 7.1 x 10-5 M. The compound is

  • a) CuI (Ksp = 1.6 x 10-16)
  • b) AgI (Ksp = 8.3 x 10-17)
  • c) CaCO3 (Ksp = 5.0 x 10-9) 
  • d) BaSO4 (Ksp = 1.5 x 10-9)
In all 4 of these compounds, Ksp = x²  where x is the concentration of one of the ions.
If molar solubility is 7.1 x 10-5 M, there will be 7.1 x 10-5 M of each ion,
if x = 7.1 x 10-5 M, Ksp = 5.04 x 10-9

13. Which of the following describes the changes in ion concentrations when 1.0 g of solid ZnS is added to a saturated solution of ZnS?   If the solution is already saturated, any added ZnS will precipitate.  The [ ] of the ions can not change.

  • a)  [Zn2+] increases and [S2-]  decreases
  • b)  [Zn2+] decreases  and [S2-] decreases
  • c)  [Zn2+] increases  and [S2-]  increases
  • d)  [Zn2+] remains constant   and [S2-] remains constant 
If the solution is already saturated, any added ZnS will precipitate.  The [ ] of the ions can not change.

14. Which of the following compounds will form a saturated solution with the greatest concentration of Ag+?

  • a) AgI (Ksp = 8.3 x 10-17)
  • b) AgBr (Ksp = 7.7 x 10-13)
  • c) AgCl (Ksp = 1.8 x 10-10)
  • d) AgCN (Ksp = 2.0 x 10-12)
Ksp = [Ag+] [anion] 
If you increase the Ksp, you increase the amount of the substance that can dissolve.

Part A:

1. C2H4 (g) + 3O2(g) --> 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
An experiment is done to determine the rate of the reaction.  It is found that  0.26 moles of O2 is consumed in 3.0 minutes.
What is the rate of production of CO2 in g/min ?


Combustion of ethene:
If 2 moles of CO2 are produced for every 3 moles of O2 consumed, and 0.26 moles  of O2 are consumed, then 0.173 moles of CO2 are produced in 3 minutes.
This means that 0.058 moles of CO2 produced in 1 minute.
1 mole of CO2 weighs 44.01 grams which means that 0.058 moles weighs 25.5 grams.
The rate of production of CO2 is 25.5 g/min

Think about the factors that affect rate - temperature, catalysts, concentration of reactants & surface area.
The reaction is heterogeneous.

4. It is known that compounds called chlorofluorocarbons  (C.F.C.s) (eg. CFCl3) will
break up in the presence of ultraviolet radiation, such as found in the upper atmosphere, forming single chlorine atoms:

                                                       CFCl3  ->  CFCl2  +   Cl

         The Cl atoms then react with Ozone (O3) as outlined in the following mechanism.      
             Step 1:        Cl   +   O3   -->   ClO  +  O2
             Step 2:        ClO  +   O  -->  Cl  +   O2      (single "O" atoms occur naturally in the atmosphere.)
         a)  Write the equation for the overall reaction. (Using steps 1 and 2)
          b) What is the catalyst in this reaction?                 
         c)  Identify an intermediate in this reaction              
             d)  Explain how a small amount of chlorofluorocarbons can destroy a large amount of  ozone.
            e)  What breaks the bond in the CFCl3 and releases the free Cl atom?


a) O3 + O --> 2O2
b) Cl
c) ClO
d) because only a small amount of Cl is needed to catalyze a large number of reactions. 
e) heat/energy from the sun

b) endothermic potential energy diagram
c) 1/2 (180.6) kJ =
d) 1 mole of N2 = 28 g, 100g of N2 = 3.57 moles,

Question 2.
The reaction of iron with oxygen results in rust.  A large amount of heat is produced by this reaction.
4 Fe ₍s₎ + 3 O₂ ₍g₎ → 2 Fe₂O₃₍s₎ + 1.65 x 10³ kJ    (formation of iron(III) oxide)
a)      What is the enthalpy change for this reaction?
b)      Draw an enthalpy diagram for this reaction.
c)      What is the enthalpy change for the formation of 23.6g of iron(III)oxide?


a) heat is a product, so it is an exothermic reaction & ∆H is negative.    - 1.65 x 10³ kJ
b) exothermic potential energy diagram
c) 1 mole of iron(III)oxide is 159.7 g/mol,  23.6g =  0.15 moles.  Formation of 2 moles produces 1.65 x 10³ kJ of heat so 0.15 moles produces 247.5 kJ


Question 3:
25.9 kJ + ½ H₂₍g₎ + ½ I₂₍g₎ →  HI₍g₎
a) What is the enthalpy change for this reaction?
b) How much energy is needed for the reaction of 4.57 X 10²⁴ molecules of iodine, I₂, with excess hydrogen H₂?
c) Draw and label an enthalpy diagram for this reaction.


a) heat is a reactant in this equation, endothermic, ∆H is positive
b) 1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³  (this is Avogardos number).  Determine the number of moles of Iodine.  You know the enthalpy with 1/2 mole of iodine. 
c) endothermic potential energy diagram


Question 4:
Tetraphosphorous decoxide, P₄O₁₀  is an acidic oxide.  It reacts with water to produce phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄ in an exothermic reaction where ∆H = -257.2 kJ
a)      Write an equation for this reaction including the enthalpy change as a heat term in the equation.
b)      How much energy is released when 5.00 moles of  P₄O₁₀  reacts with excess water?
c)      How much energy is released when 235g of H₃PO₄ is formed?


a) exothermic - so heat is a product.  Write the equation for the reaction with heat on the product side of the equation
balanced equation:  P₄O₁₀ + 6 H₂O  -->  4H₃PO₄ + 257.2kJ
b) 1 mole releases 257.2kJ, so 5 moles releases 5(257.2 kJ) = 1286.00 kJ
c)  1 mole of H₃PO₄ is 98 g/mol so 235 g is 2.4 moles,   4 moles releases 257.2 kJ, so 2.4 moles releases 154.3 kJ



Question 5:
The molar enthalpy of vaporization of ammonia NH₃ is 1.37 kJ/mol. 
a)      How many grams of  NH₃ are there in 1 mole of NH₃?

b)      How much energy is required to vaporize 50g of NH₃?

a) 17.03 g/mol
b)  50g would be 2.94 moles, so 50g of ammonia would need 2.94 mol (1.37kJ/mol) = 4.03 kJ of energy

Question 6:
A chemist wants to determine the enthalpy of neutralization for the following reaction:
HCl aq + NaOH aq --> NaCl aq + H ₂O₍ l₎
He uses a calorimeter to neutralize completely 61.1 ml of 0.543 mol/l HCL aq with 42.6 ml of NaOH aq.  The initial temperature of both solutions was 17.8° C.  After neutralization the highest recorded temperature is 21.6° C.  Calculate the enthalpy of neutralization making the usual assumptions about density and specific heat capacity of water. 


total volume = 61.1 + 42.6 ml = 83.7 ml  so m = 83.7 g
temperature, from 17.8 to 21.6, change in temperature is 3.8 C
c = 4.184 J/g C
q = 83.7 x 3.8 x 4.184 J = 1.330.76 J for this reaction. (or 1.33 kJ) 
The temperature of the water increases which means that the reaction gives off heat and is exothermic.  q for the system = -1.33kJ
Next - determine number of moles of HCl used and then calculate the enthalpy of neutralization.


Question 7:
Given the following thermochemical data:

(1)  1/2H2(g) + 1/2Cl2(g) --> HCl(g)        ΔH = -92.3 kJmol-1
(2)  2C(s) + 3H2(g) -->  CH3CH3(g)         ΔH = -84.7 kJmol-1
(3)  2C(s) + 2H2(g) + Cl2(g) -->  ClCH2CH2Cl(l)         ΔH = -166.0 kJmol-1
Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction
(4)  2Cl2(g) + CH3CH3(g) --> ClCH2CH2Cl(l) +  2HCl(g)       ΔH = ??? kJmol-1


ΔH -s -265.9 kj/mol
double equation 1
reverse equation 2
leave equation 3 as is.



Question 8:
Given the following standard enthalpies of combustion (298K, 1 atmos.):
C(s) -393 kJ mol-1; H2(g) -285.6 kJ mol-1; C8H18(l) -5512 kJ mol-1;
Calculate the enthalpy of formation of octane, C8H18(l)


Similar to the formation of butane question that we did in class today:
Use the equations with known enthalpies: 
1) C8H18 + O2 --> 8 CO2 + 9 H2O  ΔH = -5512 kJ mol-1
2) C + O2 --> CO2     ΔH = -393 kJ mol-1
3) H2 + O2 -->H2O   ΔH = -285.6 kJ mol-1
to find the enthalpy of this equation:
8 CO2 + 9 H2O --> C8H18  
answer:   ΔH = 5512 + 8(-393) + 9 (-285.6) kJ mol-1



Question 9:
Given the following standard Enthalpies of Formation in kJ mol-1 (298K, 1 atmos.):
CH4(g) -74.9; CH3Br(l) -36.0; HBr(g) -36.2
Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction:
Br2(l) + CH4(g) --> CH3Br(l) + HBr(g)


Use Hess's Law: use the equation, ΔH reation = ΔH products - ΔH reactants.
ΔH formation of Br2 = 0  because the standard enthalpy of formation of an element in its standard state is 0.
ΔH products = -36.0 + (-36.2)
ΔH reactants =  0 + (-74.9)


Question 10:
The reaction that occurs when a typical fat, glycerol trioleate, is metabolized in the body is:
C₅₇ H₁₀₄O₆ ₍s₎ + 80 O₂  ₍g₎ -->  57 CO₂ (g) +  52 H₂O (l)
a)      37.8 kJ is released when 1.00g of this fat (molar mass = 884g) is metabolized. Calculate the molar enthalpy of formation of fat in kJ/mol
b)      How many kJ of energy must be in the form of heat if you want to get rid of 1 pound (454g) of this fat by combustion?

a) 1.00 g = 0.0011 moles, molar enthalpy =  34,364 kJ/mol  or 34.364 MJ/mol  [megajoules] BUT this is the enthalpy of combustion!
To determine the enthalpy of formation, you have to look at the question in a different way. 
You can use Hess's Law: the equation, ΔH reation = ΔH products - ΔH reactants. 
     ΔH products = 57 (-393) + 52 (-285.8) kJ/mol  = -37,291.1 kJ/mol    [information from question 8, or look up the ΔH formation]
     ΔH reactants = ΔH formation of C₅₇ H₁₀₄O₆ ₍s₎ + 0     [O2 gas is an element in its standard state]
     ΔH reation = 34,364 kJ/mol
If you do the math, the ΔH formation of C₅₇ H₁₀₄O₆ ₍s₎ is -2927.1 kJ/mol

b) 37.8 kJ for 1 gram, so 454 (37.8 kJ) for 454 grams

Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction (Thermochemistry)
Vocabulary for January 3


Exothermic reaction – the reaction releases thermal energy

Endothermic reaction – the reaction absorbs thermal energy

Potential energy – the energy stored in a system. 

Kinetic energy – the energy an object has that is due to its motion

Thermal energy = kinetic energy + potential energy. 

Calorimetry – an experimental technique for measuring energy changes

Temperature – average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter

Open system – one in which both matter & energy can move in or out of

Closed system – energy can move in or out, but matter can not mover

Isolated system – an ideal system in which neither matter or energy can move in or out

Specific heat capacity – the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius

Enthalpy – a measure of the total energy of a system

Enthalpy change in a reaction – the energy absorbed from or released to the surroundings when a reaction occurs. Or, the difference in enthalpies of the reactants and products during a change.

Physical change – a change in the form of a substance in which no chemical bonds are broken

Chemical change – Change in the chemical bonds occurs

Nuclear change – a change in the protons or neutrons of an atom resulting in a formation of new atoms.

Mole – unit of measure for the amount of a substance.  One mole of carbon has a mass of 12g.   Or, a mole of any pure substance of a mass in grams is equal to its atomic mass.
