Learning Objectives

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED THIS TOPIC:

Predict and write net ionic equations for the following reaction types:
1. Acid-base reactions involving OH^– reacting with a strong or a weak acid.
2. Acid-base reactions involving NH₃ reacting with a strong or a weak acid.
3. Formation of a weak acid from H⁺ and an anion.
4. Precipitation reactions.
5. Reactions of carbonates and bicarbonates with acids to form CO₂.
Identify an ionic compound as soluble or insoluble in water, based on the solubility rules.
Determine any one of the molarity of a solution, the mass of solute, and the volume of solution, given the other two.
Solve dilution problems.
Solve problems involving aqueous titration.

4: Reactions in Aqueous Solution
A solution is a homogeneous mixture in which substances present in lesser amounts, called solutes, are dispersed uniformly throughout the substance in the greater amount, the solvent. An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. This chapter introduces techniques for preparing and analyzing aqueous solutions, for balancing equations that describe reactions in solution, and for solving problems using solution stoichiometry.
