Aqueous Reactions
Dr. Ron Rusay
Aqueous Reactions There are several general types:
1) Precipitation: An insoluble salt forms from the addition of solutions. (Refer to Solubility Rules)
2) Acid-Base Reactions (Neutralization) generally produces a salt plus water
3) Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) there is a change in oxidation numbers between reactants and products

Solution Test Apparatusfor Electrolytes
Electrolytes Aqueous solutions can be categorized into 3
types: non-electrolytes, strong electrolytes or weak electrolytes based on their ability to conduct electricity.
A solution must have ions to conduct. Pure Water does not conduct. Aqueous solutions can be tested for conductivity
which will determine the degree of ionization of the solutes.
It is possible to have full or partial ionization.

Electrolytes Almost all ionic compounds and a few molecular
compounds are strong electrolytes. Several molecular compounds are weak
conductors, most are non-conductors. Conductivity is directly related to the amount of
ionization, i.e. ions in solution. Table salt, sodium chloride, is completely ionized:

Electrolytes Sugars like sucrose are non-ionic, molecular
compounds that dissolve but produce no ions.

Aqueous Acids
Any compound that provides a proton can be considered an acid. Strong acids are sulfuric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, HI, HBr and HCl.
Electrolytes
How would the conductivity of acetic acid compare to hydrochloric acid?
HCl Completely Ionized
Acetic Acid (HC2H3O2)
Aqueous Bases
Any compound that accepts a proton is a base. The common bases are group IA & IIA metal hydroxide
compounds. They are strong bases, dissociating completely in water.
An example of a weak base is ammonia.

Oxidation-Reduction
Oxidation is the loss of electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons. The reactions occur together. One does
not occur without the other. The terms are used relative to the
change in the oxidation state or oxidation number of the reactant(s).

A.The substance that is oxidized must be the oxidizing agent.B.The substance that is oxidized must gain electrons.C.The substance that is oxidized must have a higher oxidation
number afterwards.D.The substance that is oxidized must combine with oxygen.
