Unit 5 Notes Part 2
o Gas Stoichiometry- 0.750 grams of hydrogen gas is placed in a 4.00 L container with excess nitrogen and heated
to 325 ºC. What is the final pressure of the system when the reaction reaches completion?
3 H2 (g) + N2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g)
o Solution Stoichiometry- What mass of iron (III) hydroxide is produced when 35.0 ml of a 0.250 M solution of
iron (III) nitrate is mixed with 55mL of a 0.180M KOH solution?
o 28.0 mL 0r 0.250 M HNO3 and 53.0 mL of 0.320M KOH are mixed. What is the concentration of H+ OR OH- in
excess after the reaction goes to completion?
Titrations
Volumetric analysis – a technique for determining the amount of a certain substance by doing a titration
Titrant – the substance delivered from a buret so that its volume is accurately known (base in the diagram below)
Analyte – the substance being analyzed; its mass or volume must also be accurately known (vinegar sample in the diagram
below)
Equivalence point – # moles of OH− equals (is equivalent to) # moles of H3O+ [acid-base titration; redox titrations also
exist!]
Indicator – undergoes a color change at the end point (Phenolphthalein is not the only one in the world!)
Standardization – a procedure for establishing the exact concentration of a reagentT
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Redox rxns involve electron transfer
Terms to Know:
“OIL RIG” – oxidation is loss, reduction is gain (of electrons)
Oxidation – the loss of electrons, increase in charge
Reduction – the gain of electrons, reduction of charge
Oxidation number – the assigned charge on an atom (think formula writing
BEWARE! There can be non-integer oxidation states like in Fe3O4. There’s a ‒8 for the 4 oxygens divided across 3 iron ions, therefore
Fe’s charge is Fe 8/3+
o Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) is a bright orange compound that can be reduced to a blue-violet solution of Cr3+ ions.
Under certain conditions, K2Cr2O7 reacts with ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) as shown below. Balance this equation using the
half-reaction method.
H+(aq) + Cr2O72−(aq) + C2H5OH(l) → Cr3+(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
o Silver is sometimes found in nature as large nuggets; more often it is found mixed with other metals and their ores. An
aqueous solution containing cyanide ion is often used to extract the silver using the following reaction that occurs in
basic solution. Balance this equation using the half-reaction method.
Ag(s) + CN−(aq) + O2(g) → Ag(CN)2−(aq)
