 4Section 7.2 Reactions in Which a Solid Forms
- Objective To learn to identify the solid that 
 forms in a precipitation reaction
5Section 7.2 Reactions in Which a Solid Forms
Precipitation chemical reaction in which a solid 
forms

precipitate and the reaction is called a 
precipitation reaction 
 6Section 7.2 Reactions in Which a Solid Forms
What happens when an Ionic compound Dissolves in 
Water? -When a solid containing ions dissolves in 
 Water the ions separate and move 
around Independently. -We say that the ions 
dissociate PURE WATER DOES NOT CONDUCT A 
CURRENT! 
 7Figure 7.2 Pure water does not conduct an 
electric current.
Figure 8.2 When an ionic compound is dissolved 
in water, current flows. 
 8Section 7.2 Reactions in Which a Solid Forms

that dissolves in water produces separated 
ions Example K2CrO4 (aq)  Ba(NO3)2 2K(aq)

 9Section 7.2 Reactions in Which a Solid Forms
How to decide WHAT product forms? -A solid 
compound must have a net zero positive 
charge -Compound must contain an anion and 
cation -most ionic compounds contain only 2 
types of ions. CrO42- NO3- K 
K2CrO4 KNO3 Ba2 BaCrO4 Ba(NO3)2

 23Section 7.4 Reactions That Form Water Acids and 
Bases
- Objective To learn the key characteristics of 
 the reactions between strong acids and strong
 bases.
24Section 7-4 Some History
- Acids 
- Sulfuric acid and nitric acid were named when 
 they were discovered in the 1300s.
- However, true understanding didnt come until the 
 late 1800s.
- SVANTE ARRHENIUS (Swedish grad student in 
 physics)
- -FOUND that conductivity arose from the presence 
 of ions.
- -Proposed that acid is a substance that produces 
 H ions (protons) when it is dissolved in water.

dissociate in water) 100 molecules of HCl 100 
molecules of H Examples HCl hydrochloric

always produces water. Molecular

 29Section 7-4 Strong Acids and Bases
When a strong acid mixes with a strong base it 
always produces water. The other product is an 
ionic compound Which may precipitate or remain 
dissolved. (salt).
