The resulting ions may, however, react with each other to form a precipitate. When two soluble compounds are dumped into water, they will both dissociate. Let's revisit a precipitation reaction to make sure we know what is going on. We will consider each of these in turn through the rest of this chapter.

Oxidation-reduction reactions, in which electrons are transferred from one compound component to another.

Acid-Base reactions, in which hydrogen-donating compounds react with hydroxide-donating compounds.

Precipitation reactions, in which two solutions containing dissociated ions combine and produce a solid compound.

There are three types of reactions that take place in aqueous (water) solutions): In most cases, it really is that simple to predict precipitation: you write the ion dissociation equation, look at the possible combinations of ions, then check the chart to see which combinations will precipitate. This reaction is the net ionic equation, since it includes only those ions which actually participate in the reaction, even though Na + and 2(NO 3) - are present. For our barium carbonate reaction, the formula would be: When we have a precipitation reaction, we write the reaction formula so that it includes only those reactants involved in making the solid products. CO 3 always forms a solid compound except with Group I elements, and barium is a Group II element, so barium carbonate will form and precipitate (fall out as a solid). From the chart, we find NO 3 never combines to form a solid compound, so sodium nitrate is not a possible product. Now look at the possible compounds we could have: BaCO 3 and NaNO 3. If we combine a solution of Ba(NO 3) 2 dissolved in water with a solution of Na 2CO 3, will a precipitate form? We need to look at the dissociation equations for each ion: Salts of F - with Mg 2+, Ca 2+, Sr 2+, Ba 2+, Pb 2+ The following table spells out the rules: Always Soluble

Long experience with various compounds in the lab give us a set of rules: certain ions (monatomic and polyatomic) always form precipitates when combined with specific ions others never form compounds.

Here is the question: if we combine the solutions, will AD or BC form a solid compound? We already know AB and CD will not (we have the dissociated ion solutions to prove it).

Consider two ionic compounds, AB and CD, which both dissociate completely in water: Some compounds form solids no matter what the solute/solution ratio is. If no solid occurs at this concentration, the compound is considered soluble. 1 M, where M stands for Molar: we will go into detail about this next week).

For this reason, the solubility of all compounds is determined at a standard concentration (.1 moles of solute/liter of solution, or. It is possible to put so much solute in a solution that even if the compound is considered soluble, there will still be solid compound present because no more can dissolve in the solution. When table salt dissolves in water at a specific concentration, there are only ions present. To put it bluntly, they come apart (dissociate) in water: Precipitation reactions involve ionic compounds which have completely dissociated in aqueous solution. Most reactions depend on the extent to which the solutes compounds dissolved in the water solvent can dissociate and interact. Reactions in water are extremely important in living cells, electrical cells, and geological processes, so they are the focus of much chemical investigation.
