Qualitive Chemistry

QuestionAnswer
what type of compounds do trantion metals usually form? They have partially filled d orbitals. When ligands surround it, they split the d orbitals into different E levels. e- can then absorb visible light and move to a higher E level. The remaining reflected light is the color we see.
why are Zn, Cd, Hg, and Cn colorless (white) even though they are transition metals these metals are exceptions because their d orbitals are full.
what color is Cu blue
what color of Zn white
what color are Group I and II elements white -they don't have any d e-
what color is Mn+2 purple
what color is Mn+6 green
what color is Mn+4 brow/black
what color is Mn+2 pink
why does Mn have so many different colors? it can exist in multiple oxidation states. Each one has a different number of d electrons, which changes the E gaps between the d orbitals.
why the rule about different colors for different oxidation states mainly applies to transition metals with partially filled d orbitals for transition metals, a different oxidation states → different numbers of d electrons → different d–d electron transitions → different colors.
for simple compounds of main elements and transition metals, d electrons are the main ones responsible for visible colors.
flame test put excessive energy in to something, causing the e- to jump. The color of the flames can hint at the structure of the substance
flame test: Li red
Flame test: Na yellow
Flame test: K violet
Flame Test: Cs blue
strong acids list HCL - hydrochloric HBr - hydrobromic HI - hydriodic HNO3 - nitric HClO4 - perchloric, and HClO3, H2SO4 - sulfuric
strong bases list group I and Sr, Ba, Ca hydroxides Ca(OH)2 Sr(OH)2 Ba(OH)2
NBA chart: neutral anions (anything neutral is a spectator ion) Cl-, Br-, I-, NO3-, ClO4- -all the anions from the strong acids (except SO4)
NBA chart: neutral cations Li+, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Ba, Sr (group 1 + SrBaCa) -excpet francium cause they only appear during radioactive decay and don't last long
NBA chart: basic anions HCO3- HS F- CO3-2 S-2 PO4-3 CN- NO2- HPO4 SO4-2 CH3COO
NBA chart: basic cations none -positive ions can't consume a positive ion (bases accept H+) -they can't produce OH- on their own -NOTE: amines are usually basic
NBA chart: acidic anions HSO4 H2PO4
NBA chart: acidic cations Mg+2 Al+3 NH4+ transitions
how to write net neutralizationequations for acid/base rxns -all aq -always a single arrow -leave out spectator ions (SA & SB: ion that is not H or OH is a spectator ion) -for ionic compounds, anything but H or OH is a sp. ion -if you can't make HOH then just stick them together
formation equations reminder BREAK UP POLYATOMICS
solubility rules 1 and 2 Group 1, NH4+1, NO3-, and CH3COO-1 never form precipitate (alawys soluble) -NOTE: this rule takes precedence over all other rules!!!
solubility rule 3 halogens for ppt with Ag, Pb, and Hg (along with all ion versions of these, EX Pb+2, Pb+4, etc)
solubility rule 4 SO4-2 forms ppt with Ag, Pb, Hg, Ca, Sr, Ba
solubility rule 5 OH-1 forms ppt with everything excpet Ca, Sr, and Ba
solubility rule 6 PO4-3, CrO4 -2, CO3 -2, HCO3-1, Cr2O7-2, all form precipitate
solubility rule 7 S-2 all form ppt excpet with group II
what type of reaction is combustion it is ALWAYS redox Combustion is basically burning a fuel in oxygen, usually producing CO₂ and H₂O if it’s a hydrocarbon: Carbon loses electrons → oxidation Oxygen gains electrons → reduction
what type of reaction is precipitate t is NEVER rexdox Precipitation reactions are double displacement reactions. They swap ions, form a solid, but do not involve oxidation or reduction.
balancing equations for redox reactions 1. split into 2 1/2 equ (1 ox & 1 red) 2. balance atoms for each equ (neutral solutions: can + water if needed, acidic + H+ and/or H2O, basic + OH- & H20) 3. multiply so # of e- in each equ is the same 4. + up equ & cancle
when balancing redox equations, how to check ur answer 1. look at which atoms are losing and gaining electrons -see if this transaction gives one atom a full sheel, full hald shell, etc (lower energy state) 2. your total charge on each side of the arrow must be equal
balancing redox equations for basic solutions (staring by pretending its an acid) 1. if the # of O is uneven, add H2O to that side 2. add the nessesary amount of H+ ions to the other side 3. balance the e- 4. multiply so the # of e- is the same for both sides 5. add and cancle equations
balancing redox equations for basic solutions (finish) 6. the number of H+ ions is the # of OH ions you add to both sides (1OH + 1H = 1H2O) 7. substract the # of H2O mcs (on the side w/ fewest mcs from both sides) NOTE: OH & H+ are alaways aq
combustion exceptions if there isn't enough O2 to produce CO2, produce CO or C instead or if there is not C to form CO2, then just stick the fuel and the O2 together
rules for generic rxns 1. synthesis: multiple reactants and one product 2. decomposition: one reactant and multiple products 3. single replacement: looks like sm is being replaced double replacement: looks like the compounds are switching partners 4. combustion
what is contradicory about single or double replacement reactions with aq reactants. The aqu compounds dissociated in water so they are not acctually bonded. How can they switch partners if they are not accutally bonded? When writing the rxn, remember to separate aq compounds and cancle out any spectator ions.
rules for specific rxns 1. Group II or I + HOH 2. Hydrides + HOH= H2 + metal hydroxide 3. metal oxides + HOH = OH + ion 4. nonmetal oxides + HOH = acids 5. Ligands + metal ion = complex ion 6. ligand substitution 7. carbonates or bicarbonates + H+ = HOH + CO2 + cation
Group II or I + water (exothermic + H2 = explosion) Group 1 → “2 metals + 2 water → 2 hydroxide + H₂ + ion” Group 2 → “1 metal + 2 water → 1 hydroxide + H₂ + ion”
what is a hydride a H that is at a -1 oxidation state -it is unstable and therefore highly reactive
what happens when water gains e- it becomes OH- and H2 2H2O+2e- --> H2+2OH-
what happens when water loses e- it forms O2 and H+ H2O --> 1/2O2(g) +2H+ + 2e-
why do bases often contain nonmetals and acids often contain metals?
note for equations involving hydrides -it will be aq so metal OH is written as separate ions
common ligands H2O, NH3, CN-, OH-, Halogens
ligand substitution a new, more concetrated one can push the other ligand out EX: [Cu(H2O)6]²⁺ + 4 NH3 → [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]²⁺ + 4 H2O
polyatomic ions REVIEW THEM PLS
rules for Group I and II rxns they participate in many different synthesis rxns: 1. w/ hydrogen forms hydrides 2. W/ oxygen: -Li & Group II = normal oxides (O-2) OR Na & Ba = peroxides (O2-2) 3. w/ Nitrogen: Li & Group II (except Be) --> synthesis rxn 4. w/ sulfur: systhesis
what does a little triangle above the arrow of a rxn mean that the reactants were heated
rxn for when something is heated carbonates --> metallic oxide + CO2
different type of rxns for organic rxns 1. addition - a small mc adds across a Double or Triple bond 2. substitution: an atom is replaced by a different atom (benzene) 3. Esterification: Carboxylic acid + Alcohol --> water
what is an addition organic reaction Double & triple bonds contain a π bond (weaker than a single). IT breaks & new atoms attach to the 2 carbons. 1. π bond breaks 2. Each C forms a new single bond w/ atoms from small molecule. 3. molecule becomes more saturated (fewer multiple bonds).
why substitution for organic rxns happens with benzene It has a very stable ring of delocalized e-. If the ring did an addition rxn, it would break the stability. Instead, benzene keeps the ring intact and replaces one hydrogen with another atom or group. NOTE: SA can form in benzene even if it can't in HOH
why cant SA be formed in water Strong acids cannot exist in water because they donate their proton to water, forming H₃O⁺, the strongest acid possible in aqueous solution.
what is esterification It’s a rxn where a carboxylic acid (–COOH) reacts w/ an alcohol (–OH group) to form an ester (–COO–) & H2O. *–OH from acid & H from the alcohol combine to make H₂O, and rest of the mcs join together as an ester. R–COOH + R’–OH → R–COO–R’ + H₂O
instructions for writing net equations 1. if aqwouse write as separate ions and don't include spectator ions 2. write the whole formula for solids and gases 3. Balance using the lowest whole numbers 4. states are optional, but may help in some rxns
Alkyne (like C₂H₂) + concentrated halogen (Cl₂ or Br₂) Alkynes have a triple bond Concentrated halogen reacts 2x cauz the triple bond has 2 π bonds Both halogen molecules attach → triple bond fully gone → saturated with halogens. -concentrated means take the rxn as far forwards as possible
Alkyne + dilute halogen Only one π bond reacts → forms a dihaloalkene, leaving a double bond. One halogen pair (like Cl2) adds → triple bond becomes double bond → unsaturation remains. only one π bond reacts
Metal ion + weak base hydroxide precipitate
Metal hydroxide precipitate + excess ligand → soluble complex (if the metal likes that ligand) soluble ammine complex Some metal hydroxides are amphoteric or can form complexes with ligands. Ammonia (NH₃) acts as a ligand, replacing water/OH⁻ around the metal: Result: solid dissolves, forming a clear complex.
NOTE: ammonia and water are alawys at equilibrium with NH4(OH) so treat them as one chemical
Review organic chemiistry from last year
hydrocarbons made from C and H -lightweight ones are gases, most are liquids, and some big ones are solids -a bunch of carbons bonded covalently w/ hydrogens sticking off whereever enededto give C four bonds
Alkanes CnH2n + 2 -the number of H is double the # of C+ 2 -all single bonds -AKA saturated hydrocarbons
Alkenes CnH2n H is 2x the number of C -one or more double bond -AKA unsaturated hydrocarbon
Alkynes CnH2n-2 -double the # of C and subtract 2 -one or more triple bond -AKA saturated hydrocarbon
what does saturated mean (orgaic chemistry) it has as many bonds as it can -it can't attach any more hydrogens
usaturated def (organic chemistry) A saturated compound is an organic molecule that contains only single bonds between carbon atoms. This means all the carbon atoms are “full” of hydrogen atoms—there are no double or triple bonds.
naming straight chain Hydrocarbons 1. find # of C in longest row (the row can bend) & choose corresponding prefix 2. find the type of h.c. (alkanes end in "ane", alkenes w/ "ene", alkynes w/"yne") 5. number (which C it's next to) the double or triple bond # - prefix.ending
NOTE: when writing the names of organic mcs, always go with the lowest nuumber -EX: if a double bond is between carbons 2 and 3 then write 2,
prefixes in organic chemistry 1- meth 2- eth 3- prop 4-but 5 - pent 6- hex 7- hept 8- oct 9- non 10 - dec
naming branches Branch names end with “-yl.” Use a prefix based on the number of carbons in the branch. Number the carbon on the main chain where the branch attaches. -the branch name comes before the name of the main chain
naming halogenated hydrocarbons -same process as before except: -number which C the halogen is attached to & add a special prefix (fluoro, Chloro, bromo, iodo ) in front of the main-chain's name -if there's more than 1 chain of halogen, use a normal prefix before the special one
cyclic structures CnH2n (assuming all single bonds) -molecules where the carbon atoms form a ring
naming cyclic structures (alkanes) Use the prefix “cyclo-” before the name of the ring, use prefiz for the # of C in the ring, end in "ane " name branches like normal
aromatic structures def a hydrocarbon containing a benzene ring Benzene: C6H6 6-carbon ring with alternating single and double bonds in the Lewis structure. (these bonds are in resonance)
why are the three double bonds in benzene resonance the electrons in the π bonds are delocalized across the ring -I honestly dunno learn this later
naming aromatic molecules :-use a prefix for the number of C in the branch, then label the carbon on the benzene ring where the branch attaches, and use "benzene as a suffix -also number the corners of the benzene
alternate naming system for when there are two branches on a benzene (the system works no matter the size of the branch, it only depends on the location of the branches) Ortho = banches on 1 and 2 meta = 1, 3 para = 1, 4
list the functional groups (oxygenated hydrocarbons) alcohols aldehydes carboxylic acids amines ethers ketones esters carbonyl
resonance VS isomers VS duplicates -practice idenifying which is which Duplicate → same bonds, just a different view Resonance → same atoms, but different bond positions isomers --> atoms actually move around to form different structures.
alcohols R-OH polar NOT Hydroxide!!
why isn't the OH in alcohols hydroxide The –OH group is covalently bonded to carbon Oxygen shares electrons with hydrogen and carbon The whole molecule is neutral (no charge) So we call it a hydroxyl group, not hydroxide
How to name alcohols use "-ol" ending OR use the alkyl name ("-yl") plus the word "alcoh ol"
aldehydes O || R -C- H
naming aldehydes use al ending
carboxylic acids O || R - C - OH -sometimes written as R- COOH
naming carboxylic acids use prefix for the number of carbons and then end in "-oic acid"
carbonyl group O || C
amines R-NH2
naming amines use the suffix "amine" and name the carbon chain like a branch (# - # of carbons + "yl")
Ethers -O-
naming ethers name the alky group on either side of the ether (treat them like a branch) and add "ether" at the end
Ketones O || R-C - R
naming ketones name the alkyl group on either side and end with the word "ketone"
esters O || R-C - O -R'
naming ethers name both Rs separaelty The group attached to oxygen (R′) → named first as alkyl (ends in –yl) The chain with the carbonyl (R–COO–) → becomes –oate
common reaction involving ____(you should know this) the formation of ester Carboxylic acid + Alcohol --> water + ester -the H on the acid and the OH on the alcohol will pop off, they will combine to form water -the R that remais fromthe alcohol will attachto the O in the acid (replacing the H)
isomers same formula , different structure -different versions of the same formula
Isomers VS resoance isomers: Different arrangement of atoms You could actually isolate them as separate substances Resonance: Same atoms, same connections Only e- move, not atoms Double bond shifts position Atoms stay in the same place different drawings of the same mc
radioactive decay an unstable nucleus loses energy by releasing particles or radiation to become more stable. Some atoms have too many neutrons, too many protons, or an unstable balance, so the nucleus breaks down to become more stable
different particples released during radioactive decay alpha (α) Emits: 2 pt+ 2 n (He nucleus) 4_2He beta (β⁻), n turns into a pt & emits an e- (0_-1e) Atomic # +1 & Mass # stays the same (releases E is 100x > α gamma (γ) - releases E (no particles) (0_0γ) No change in atomic # or mass
half-life def length of time it takes for half of radioactive atoms to decay
equations for half-life ln([A]o/[A]t) = Kt Ao = orginal amount of substance At = stuff that remains after t k= constant (solve for this using the next formula) t= any time unit t1/2 = 0.693/k -or plug 2/1 into the first equation and the 1/2 life into the t to find K
half-life is alaways 1st order
for 1st order reactions, what is the unit of K (time units)^-1

what does mass spectroscopy do an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions -the mass spectrium of a sample contraining a single elecment can be used to determine the identify of the isotopes of that element and the relative abundnac eof each isotope
mass spectroscopy ions (neutral mcs won’t react to magnetic fields) go in magnetic fields & are deflected based on mass:charge ratio (m/z). lighter ions or w/ higher charge deflect more. Makes spectrum w/ a # of ions @ each m/z value. In simple atoms, 1 peak = diff. isot.
