Nomenclature & Reactions
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds
Binary Ionic Compounds:
- Binary -> 2 elements
- Ionic -> metal ion + non-metal ion
Naming From Formula:
- Write name of metal
- Write name of non-metal
- Change non-metal suffix to IDE
Formula From Name:
- Write out name with space.

- Criss-cross charges as subscripts.
- Combine as formula unit.
Nomenclature & Reactions
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds
Binary Molecular Compounds:
- Compounds consisting of molecules that are made from two elements are called binary molecular compounds.
Naming From Formula:
- Name the first element
- Name the second element
- Add the suffix –ide to the second element
Formula From Name:
- Add the correct prefix in front of each element but if mono- is the prefix we do not add it to the name
Nomenclature & Reactions
Polyatomic Ions And Radicals
- Polyatomic Ions -> a group of covalently bonded atoms that has a net charge (positive or negative)
- NO31- -> Nitrate
- ClO31- ->Chlorate
- CO32- ->Carbonate
- SO42- -> Sulfate
- PO43- -> Phosphate
- Radicals -> group of atoms that tend to stay together during most chemical reactions
- Compounds containing radicals must be electrically neutral. A metal combined with a radical forms a metal salt.
- Sodium sulfate = Na1+ SO42- -> Na2SO4
- Calcium phosphate = Ca2+ PO42- -> CaPO4
Nomenclature & Reactions
Other Common Radicals
- MnO41 -> Permanganate
- C2H3O21- -> Acetate

Nomenclature & Reactions
Naming Binary Acids
- Only H and another element are present

- If anion ends in ate – suffix is ic
- If the anion ends in ITE – the suffix is ous
- If the anion is a per…ate – the acid is a per…ic acid
- If the anion is a hypo…ite – the acid is a hypo…ous acid
Nomenclature & Reactions
Synthesis Reactions
- Direct combination reaction
- Simple substances combine to form more complex compounds
- Product can either be ionic or molecular
- Element + element à compound
- Compound + element à complex compound
- Compound + compound à very complex compound
- General Formula: A + B à AB
- E.g. 2Na + Cl2 -> 2NaCl
- E.g. solid sodium nitride by burning sodium metal in nitrogen gas: 6Na(s) + N2(g) -> 2Na3N(s)
Specific Examples of Synthesis Reactions:
- Combustion – means burning with oxygen
- Incomplete combustion
- Metal + oxygen -> metal oxide
- 2Mg + O2 (g) -> 2MgO
- Note: metal oxide in water à base
- MgO + H2O -> Mg (OH)2
- Non-metal + oxygen à non- metal oxide
- 2S + O2 -> 2SO3
- Note: non-metal oxide + water à acid
- SO3 + 2H2O -> 2H2SO4 (aq)
Nomenclature & Reactions
Decomposition Reactions
- This type of reaction often requires energy (ex. heat)
- A and B can either be elements of compounds
- Occurs a compound is broken down into simpler substances
- There can be 2 or more simpler substances (elements or compounds)
- Special Case -> metal carbonates decompose to produce the metal oxide and carbon dioxide gas
- General Formula: AB à A + B
- E.g. 2HCl -> H2(g) + Cl2 (g)
- E.g. Metal CARBONATES decompose to produce the metal oxide and carbon dioxide gas: MgCO3 (aq) -> MgO(s) + CO2 (g)
Nomenclature & Reactions
Single Displacement Reactions
- Also known as: oxidation-reduction reactions
- An element reacts with a compound and displaces a second element from the compound to form an element and a new compound
- Always follow the activity series (will always be given) because some reactions will not occur.
- General Formula: A + BC -> AC + B
Nomenclature & Reactions
Double Displacement Reactions
- General Formula: AB + CD à AD + CB
- E.g. 2K(S) + 2H2O(l) à 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)
- Precipitation Reactions
- Two compounds which are water soluble react to form two new compounds, one of which is a precipitate (ie. insoluble in water)
- In order to determine which one of the products will be the precipitate requires knowledge of the solubilities of salts in water (see solubility table)
- AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
- BaCl2(aq) + K2SO4(aq) -> BaSO4(s) + 2KCl(aq)
- Neutralization Reactions
- Sometimes called acid-base reactions
- Occurs between an acidic compound and a basic compound to form a chemical salt and water
- The pH is equal to 7 if all acid/base completely reacts
- Use bromothymol blue as indicator – turns green
- HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) -> H2O + NaCl(aq)
- H2SO4(aq) + KOH(aq) -> 2H2O + K2SO4(aq)
- Note: The valence of multivalent elements stays the same on both sides of the equation
Nomenclature & Reactions
Combustion Reactions
- Burning a hydrocarbon
- A hydrocarbon is a molecular compound containing only carbon, hydrogen and sometimes oxygen
- Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon always produces only 2 products: CO2 and H2O
- E.g. combustion of propane (C3H8): C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Stoichiometry
Scientific Notation
- Multiples of 10 are used to write very large or small numbers in scientific notation
- 100 = 1 x 10 x 10 = 102
- 20 000 = 2 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 2 x104
- The exponent on the 10 tells you how many places to move the decimal to obtain the ORIGINAL number
- 4.5 x 105 à move decimal 5 places to the right à 450 000
- When the number is less than 1, (e.g. 0.0025), the exponent on the 10 is negative
- Note: the base number is always written as a single digit followed by decimals if necessary
- 65 000 = 6.5 x 104 -> NOT: 65 x 103
Stoichiometry
Significant Digits
- Any digit of a number that is known with certainty
- Any digit that is obtained by actual measurement & thus is not simply a placeholder used to position the decimal point
General Rules:
- All of the digits from 1 to 9 are significant
- 1.234 -> 4 sig figs, 1.2 -> 2 sig figs
- Zeros in between non-zero digits are significant
- 1002 -> 4 sig figs, 3.07 -> 3 sig figs
- Any zero to the right of a nonzero digit (trailing zeroes) is significant
- 0.230 -> 3 sig figs, 0.40 -> 2 sig figs
- All zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit (leading zeros) are not significant
- 0.001 -> 1 sig fig
- Numbers obtained by counting are not considered when determining significant digits
- 1341 students -> N/A
- When whole numbers end in 0, they are not necessarily significant
- 50 600 -> can be 3, 4 or 5 sig figs
- The ambiguity in the last rule can be avoided by the use of standard or scientific notation
- 1.90 x 102 -> 2 sig figs
Rules For Rounding off Numbers:
- If the digit to be dropped is greater than 5, the last retained digit is increased by one
- 12.6 -> rounded up -> 13
- If the digit to be dropped is less than 5, the last remaining digit is left as it is
- 12.4 -> rounded down -> 12
- If the digit to be dropped is 5 and if any digit following it is not zero, the last remaining digit is increased by one
- 12.51 -> rounded up -> 13
- If the digit to be dropped is exactly 5 and is followed only by zeroes, round even
- 11.5 -> round even -> 12 … 12.5 -> round even -> 12
Significant Digits – Multiplying & Dividing:
- The number of sig figs in your final answer should be equal to the LOWEST number of significant digits in any of the given quantities
- 0.5 x 3.08 = 1.52 -> 2 -> 1 sig fig
- 2.00 x 3.5 = 7.0 -> 7.0 -> 2 sig figs
Significant Digits – Adding & Subtracting:
- The number of digits after the decimal in your final answer should be equal to the LOWEST number of digits after the decimal in any of the given quantities
- 1.26 + 2.3 = 3.56 -> 3.6 -> 1 decimal place
- 1.26 + 103.3 = 103.56 -> 103.6 -> 1 decimal place

Mole-Mole, Mass-Mass

Stoichiometry
Percent Yield
- Percent yield -> tells us how “efficient” a reaction is. It cannot be bigger than 100%.
- Theoretical yield -> The expected or calculated amount of product formed is called the
- Actual yield ->The amount of product actually formed in the experiment is called the
- P.C = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x100
- Step 1 -> Find the actual yield of product (usually given in question, or can be calculated).
- Step 2 -> Find the theoretical yield of product.
- Step 3 -> Use the formula to calculate percent yield.

- The number of moles cannot be measured?
- What can we measure? -> mass
- Find the mass of solid required
m = n x M
= 1.25 mol x 40.0 g/mol
= 50 g of NaOH (2 sig digits)

- Obtain a 500 mL volumetric flask. Add the measured amount of solid to the flask. (50g)
- Add approx 250 mL of distilled water to the flask. Cap and invert to mix (several times)
- Add remaining distilled water to the fill line. Cap and invert again.

- Add more distilled water to fill line. Stopper, swirl and mix.
Concentration
- Concentration -> the quantity of a given solute in a solution
