Part IV. (30 points) Chemical Equations.

  1. (15 points) Predict the products formed in the following precipitation reaction. Write the balanced molecular equation including phase labels on every species. ALSO write the complete ionic equation and net ionic equation.

MgCl 2 (aq) + Na 3 PO 4 (aq) ‡

a) Molecular Equation:

3 MgCl 2 (aq) + 2 Na 3 PO 4 (aq) ‡‡ Mg 3 (PO 4 ) 2 (s) + 6 NaCl(aq)

b) Complete Ionic Equation:

3 Mg2+^ + 6 Cl–^ + 6 Na+^ + 2 PO 4 3–^ ‡‡ Mg 3 (PO 4 ) 2 (s) + 6 Na+^ + 6 Cl–

c) Net Ionic Equation:

3 Mg2+^ + 2 PO 4 3–^ ‡‡ Mg 3 (PO 4 ) 2 (s)

  1. (15 points) Balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction (in acidic media) using the half-reaction method.

Zn(s) + ClO 3 – (aq) ‡ Zn2+(aq) + Cl–(aq)

Oxidiation ½ Reaction: Zn(s) ‡‡ Zn2+^ + 2 e–

Reduction ½ Reaction: 6 e–^ + 6H+^ + ClO 3 – (aq) ‡‡ Cl–(aq) + 3 H 2 O

Oxidiation ½ Reaction: 3 [Zn(s) ‡‡ 3 Zn2+^ + 2 e–]

Reduction ½ Reaction: 6 e–^ + 6H+^ + ClO 3 – (aq) ‡‡ Cl–(aq) + 3 H 2 O

6 H+^ + 3 Zn(s) + ClO 3 – (aq) ‡‡ 3 Zn2+(aq) + Cl–(aq) + 3 H 2 O

  1. (25 points) When a solution of AgNO 3 (aq) is added to a solution of MgCl 2 (aq), a white precipitate, AgCl(s), is formed. The balanced chemical equation for this precipitation reaction follows.

2 AgNO 3 (aq) + MgCl 2 (aq) ‡ 2 AgCl(s) + Mg(NO 3 ) 2 (aq)

a) (20 points) If a 250.0 mL solution of 0.500 M AgNO 3 (aq) is mixed with a 250.0 mL solution of 0.800 M MgCl 2 (aq), what is the theoretical yield (in grams) of AgCl(s). You may use the following molar masses: AgNO 3 = 169.9 g/mol; MgCl 2 = 92.2 g/mol; AgCl = 143.3 g/mol; and Mg(NO 3 ) 2 = 148.3 g/mol

Answer: _____ 17.9 g AgCl _______

Instead of providing the mass of each reactant, the molarity and volume of each reactant is provided. Calculate the number of moles of each reactant.

Decide which reactant is the limiting reactant by separately calculating the possible yield of AgCl(s).

Since 0.125 mol AgNO 3 yields 17.9 g AgCl, AgNO 3 is the limiting reactant and MgCl 2 is the excess reactant. Thus 17.9 g AgCl is the theoretical yield.

b) (5 points) What is the concentration (molarity) of the Cl–^ ions that remain unreacted in the combined solution above after the precipitation reaction is complete?

Answer: _ 0.552 M (or 0.550 M) _

Find amount of MgCl 2 left unreacted by first calculating how much of the 0.200 mol MgCl 2 is used up in the reaction with 0.125 mol AgNO 3. (Other ways are possible to find amount of MgCl 2 left unreacted.)

(0.200 mol MgCl 2 to start with) – (0.0625 mol MgCl 2 used up) = 0.138 mol MgCl 2 left unreacted

MgCl 2 ‡ Mg2+^ + 2 Cl–

Volume of combined solution = 0.250 L + 0.250 L = 0.500 L
