    Uploaded by

    Sid Mathur
    This document provides pre-lab questions for an experiment on precipitation reactions. It asks students to: 1) Explain why some ionic compound combinations form precipitates while others do not. 2) Write balanced, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for a reaction between lead nitrate and potassium iodide. 3) Identify possible precipitation reactions between various metal nitrates and bases or oxalates and write balanced equations. 4) Explain why some reactions showed no change and how to distinguish between calcium nitrate, zinc nitrate, copper nitrate and nickel nitrate solutions.

    Some important concepts covered are precipitation reactions, writing balanced and net ionic equations, and determining which products are precipitates based on solubility rules. Laboratory techniques for identifying unknown solutions based on observable reactions are also discussed.

    A precipitate will form when one of the ionic compounds in the reaction is insoluble according to solubility rules. The insoluble compound will fall out of solution as a solid precipitate.

    Calcium nitrate and zinc nitrate solutions can be distinguished by adding an equal amount of potassium hydroxide to each unknown solution. Calcium nitrate will form a faint, white precipitate of calcium hydroxide while zinc nitrate will not.

    Answer these questions before beginning the lab. Be sure to turn them in when you submit

    your lab report.

    1. Why do some combinations of ionic compounds form a precipitate while others do not?

    A precipitate is formed when one of the compounds is insoluble.

    2. Solutions of lead(II) nitrate and potassium iodide were combined in a test tube. The

    results of this reaction are shown below.

    a. Write a formula equation for the reaction.

    Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI → PbI2+2KNO3


    b. Which of the possible products is the precipitate, and how do you know?

    PbI2 is most likely the precipitate. I can determine this because according to the

    solubility rules, Pb2+ is insoluble, which would mean the compound with it would be the

    precipitate.

    c. Write a complete ionic equation for the reaction and identify the spectator ions.

    2K+(aq) + 2I-(aq) + Pb2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) PbI2(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)

    Spectator Ions: K+, NO3-

    d. Write a net ionic equation for the reaction between lead(II) nitrate and potassium

    iodide.

    Pb2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) → PbI2(s)


    Lab 4.4.4 (Dry Lab)

    1. Write a balanced chemical equation for each double replacement reaction that occurs. Note:
    Compounds with Na+, K+, and/or NO3 − are soluble.

    Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃

    Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

    Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KI → CuI₂ + 2 KI

    Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Cu(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃

    Cu(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CuC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

    Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃

    Ni(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → NiC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

    Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Zn(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃

    Zn(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → ZnC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

    2. Why was there no reaction in some of the wells? (See Introduction.)

    A double replacement reaction takes place only if it reduces the concentration of ions in
    the solution. Also, some of the reactions did not lead to precipitates or gases.

    3. How could you tell a Ca(NO3 )2 solution from a Zn(NO3 )2 solution?

    Using the table provided, both solutions react with KOH. However, one solution appears
    to react more than the other. To determine which solution is which, assuming both solutions are
    unknown, we can add an equal amount of KOH to both solutions. According to the table, the
    solution that forms a faint, white precipitate is Ca(NO3)2, while the other solution is Zn(NO3)2.

    4. How could you tell a Cu(NO3 )2 solution from a Ni(NO3 )2 solution?

    Using a similar method to the previous question, we can see that Cu(NO3)2 reacts with
    KI, while the other solution does not. To determine which is which, assuming both solutions are
    unknown, we can add an equal amount of Kl to both solutions. The one that reacts is Cu(NO3)2,
    while the other one is Ni(NO3)2.
