Q & A
What type of reaction occurs when an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride reacts with silver nitrate?
-A double replacement reaction occurs because the reaction is in the form A B + C D, where magnesium (A) pairs with nitrate (D) to form magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO3)2) and silver (C) pairs with chloride (B) to form silver chloride (AgCl).
What is the charge of magnesium and how does it pair with the nitrate ion to form magnesium nitrate?
-Magnesium has a +2 charge and pairs with the nitrate ion, which has a -1 charge, to form magnesium nitrate using the crisscross method, resulting in the formula Mg(NO3)2.
Why is silver chloride considered insoluble in water?
-Silver chloride is considered insoluble in water due to the solubility rules which state that chlorides, bromides, and iodides are generally soluble except with silver, lead, and mercury(II) cations.
How do you balance the equation for the reaction between magnesium chloride and silver nitrate?
-The equation is balanced by ensuring that the number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation is equal. For this reaction, placing a '2' in front of AgNO3 and MgCl2 balances the equation as there are two nitrate ions and two chloride ions involved.
What is the net ionic equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide?
-The net ionic equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is H+ + OH- → H2O, which represents the formation of water from the reaction of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.
How do you determine if a reaction between a weak acid and a strong base will occur?
-You can determine if a reaction will occur by looking at the reactivity of the acid and base. In the case of a weak acid and a strong base, the strong base will typically react with the weak acid to form water and a salt, provided that the weak acid is strong enough to donate a proton (H+) to the base.
What is a gas evolution reaction and how is it represented in the total ionic equation?
-A gas evolution reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a gas is produced. In the total ionic equation, it is represented by showing the formation of the gas from the reaction, such as the production of CO2 gas from the reaction of sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid.
What are the general solubility rules for sulfates?
-Sulfates are generally soluble except when bonded to certain metal cations like calcium, lead, barium, and strontium, which have +2 charges.
How do you determine if a single replacement reaction will occur?
-A single replacement reaction will occur if the element in the reaction (usually a metal or nonmetal) on the left is more reactive according to the activity series than the element it is replacing in the compound on the right.
What is the general form of a single replacement reaction and how does it differ from a double replacement reaction?
-The general form of a single replacement reaction is A + BC → AC + B, where A displaces B from the compound BC. This differs from a double replacement reaction, which involves the exchange of components between two compounds, typically in the form A B + C D → A D + B C.
What is the activity series and how is it used in chemistry?
-The activity series is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing reactivity. It is used to predict the outcomes of possible reactions between metals and other substances, such as whether a metal can displace another metal from a compound in a single replacement reaction.
