Reactions in Aqueous Solutions

While this is not intended as a bio-chemistry topic, students should note that most (almost all) of the chemical reactions making life possible take place in aqueous solutions. There are a handful of driving forces chemists use to predict whether such a reaction will take place. Students explore these: formation of a solid, transfer of electrons, formation of water, and formation of a gas. There are notably a variety of ways to classify reactions. Further, there are at least three important ways (equation type) used to describe reactions in solution: molecular formula equations, a complete ionic equation, and a net ionic equation. Because of the importance of reactions in aqueous solutions to life, concepts and techniques presented in this topic apply to a breadth of other scientific principles.
