Let's look at it one by one. 33 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,280 So in the first case, 34 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,520 we are reacting sodium chloride aqueous solution 35 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,730 with silver nitrate aqueous solution. 36 00:01:20,730 --> 00:01:22,080 What do we get? 37 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,060 Well, remember that in aqueous solutions, 38 00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:25,620 ions usually dissociate. 39 00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:28,080 So over here, we'll get basically NA+ ions 40 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,430 and CL- ions. 41 00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:34,020 And over here, we have Ag+ ions and NO3- ions. 42 00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:35,640 So when I pour them together, 43 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,500 we just get all those ions together, okay? 44 00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:41,790 Now, because these are together, 45 00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:43,230 they can form new combination. 46 00:01:43,230 --> 00:01:45,630 Of course, cations should always combine with anions, okay? 47 00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:50,630 So NA can now combine with NO3, 48 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,710 but there's nothing special because again, 49 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:53,940 they will dissociate. 50 00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:56,700 But Ag can also combine with Cl. 51 00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:00,150 When Ag combines with Cl, something interesting happens. 52 00:02:00,150 --> 00:02:02,190 What? Well, guess what? 53 00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:05,610 AgCl is insoluble, 54 00:02:05,610 --> 00:02:10,350 and therefore, it will precipitate out. 55 00:02:10,350 --> 00:02:14,250 And that's the reason why this whole thing looks white 56 00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:17,640 because of the AgCl precipitation. 57 00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:18,630 So what do we end up with? 58 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:21,420 We'll end up with AgCl, which is insoluble. 59 00:02:21,420 --> 00:02:23,400 So that's why it's written as solid over here. 60 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,900 It precipitates out. 61 00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:26,100 So let me just share it over here 62 00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:27,570 to show that it's precipitating, okay? 63 00:02:27,570 --> 00:02:29,760 And what remains in the aqueous solution? 64 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,520 Well, sodium ions and nitrate ions, 65 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,760 so we get sodium nitrate aqueous solution. 66 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,390 The white color is due to the AgCl precipitating out. 67 00:02:39,390 --> 00:02:41,010 Now, if you zoom out and look at the reaction, 68 00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:42,150 see what has happened, 69 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:45,600 sodium and silver cations have switched places. 70 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,390 Sodium has replaced silver over here 71 00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:49,680 to get sodium nitrate, 72 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,260 and silver has replaced sodium over here 73 00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:54,720 to give us silver chloride. 74 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,440 So since there are two cations replacing each other, 75 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,480 there's a double replacement happening. 76 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,380 This is called, no surprise, a double replacement reaction. 77 00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:07,140 We can also call this double displacement reaction. 78 00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:10,320 So what we witnessed was a double replacement reaction 79 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,480 and one of the products precipitated 80 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,040 giving us that white color. 81 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,300 Now, before we look at the other one, 82 00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:16,980 a quick question for you is, 83 00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:20,280 can you identify which of the elements underwent oxidation 84 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,660 and which ones underwent reduction? 85 00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:24,240 Pause and think about this. 86 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,370 Okay, whenever I want to think about that, 87 00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:28,380 I just look at the charges on the elements. 88 00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:30,483 Well, over here, sodium has a positive charge. 89 00:03:30,483 --> 00:03:32,130 It's a cation. 90 00:03:32,130 --> 00:03:35,100 On the other side, well, it's still a positive cation. 91 00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,590 So no change happened to the charge on the sodium. 92 00:03:37,590 --> 00:03:39,540 Nothing happened to it, okay? 93 00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:41,160 What about Ag? 94 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,810 No change. 95 00:03:42,810 --> 00:03:44,580 The same is the case with the anions as well. 96 00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:47,550 No change, no change, 97 00:03:47,550 --> 00:03:50,340 which means look, nothing is undergoing an oxidation, 98 00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:51,930 nothing is undergoing a reduction, 99 00:03:51,930 --> 00:03:55,650 so double replacement reactions are not redox reactions. 100 00:03:55,650 --> 00:03:56,790 And you may be wondering, 101 00:03:56,790 --> 00:03:57,990 why are you excited about the fact 102 00:03:57,990 --> 00:04:00,540 that it's not a redox reaction? 103 00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:02,100 I'm excited because I used to think 104 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:03,490 that all chemical reactions 105 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,170 must involve electron transfers, and therefore, 106 00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:09,720 all chemical reactions should have something oxidizing 107 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,130 and something else reducing. 108 00:04:11,130 --> 00:04:13,530 But I was wrong. Look, right in front of our eyes. 109 00:04:13,530 --> 00:04:15,570 We can see examples of chemical reactions 110 00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:17,400 where there are no electron transfers, 111 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,040 where there is no oxidation or reduction, 112 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,150 so that's pretty cool. 113 00:04:21,150 --> 00:04:22,680 But anyways, now let's look at the other one. 114 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,200 What happens when I pour these two together? 115 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,970 Well, let's look at the reactants. 116 00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:30,420 This time, the reactants are NaCl and KNO3. 117 00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:31,890 Both are aqueous solutions. 118 00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:33,090 I pour them together. 119 00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:34,950 So just like before, I will now have 120 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:37,610 all the four different kinds of ions over here. 121 00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:38,820 Na can combine with NO3. 122 00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:41,520 Remember, cations can only combine with anions, okay? 123 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,470 Those are the only new combinations you can form. 124 00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:45,930 So Na can combine with NO3-, 125 00:04:45,930 --> 00:04:47,670 but again, it'll dissociate. 126 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:49,770 K+ can also combine with Cl-. 127 00:04:49,770 --> 00:04:51,270 But what's important over here 128 00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:55,800 is that KCl, potassium chloride, is soluble. 129 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,330 Therefore, when K and Cl combine, 130 00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:59,430 again, they will dissociate. 131 00:04:59,430 --> 00:05:02,640 So nothing happens over here.

It's insoluble. 221 00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:25,680 So I know immediately, 222 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,360 lead 223 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,010 iodide, 224 00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:30,000 and I need to be careful, 225 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,650 lead has a +2 charge and iodine over here has a -1 charge. 226 00:08:34,650 --> 00:08:37,380 So to compensate, I have to put two over here. 227 00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:41,550 So I get lead two iodide. That is insoluble. 228 00:08:41,550 --> 00:08:44,040 So that will precipitate out. 229 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,080 And what else will I get? 230 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,950 Well, potassium can combine with nitrate. 231 00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:52,050 And again, we can check for it. Where is potassium? 232 00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:54,060 Potassium is here. 233 00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:55,860 Nitrate is over here. 234 00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:59,370 So if I go down, go over here, look, it's soluble. 235 00:08:59,370 --> 00:09:02,880 So I'll get potassium nitrate, which is soluble, 236 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,780 charge is +1, -1, okay, so I'll just get this. 237 00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:08,790 So I'll get an aqueous solution. 238 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:10,500 And, of course, I'll have to balance it out. 239 00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:11,340 Let's quickly do that. 240 00:09:11,340 --> 00:09:13,050 So I have two iodine over here, 241 00:09:13,050 --> 00:09:14,850 so I'll put a two here. 242 00:09:14,850 --> 00:09:17,550 So two potassium, so I'll put a two here. 243 00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:19,323 And that balances everything out. 244 00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:23,040 And this is the experiment that we saw earlier. 245 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,880 We are pouring potassium iodide into lead two nitrate. 246 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,440 What is that yellow color? 247 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,370 That's basically the lead two iodide being precipitated. 248 00:09:32,370 --> 00:09:33,780 And now the aqueous solution 249 00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:36,840 contains potassium and nitrate ions. 250 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,400 All right, why don't we try another one? 251 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,400 This one looks a little bit intimidating, 252 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,600 but the idea is the same. 253 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,330 So why don't you pause the video and try this again. 254 00:09:45,330 --> 00:09:47,040 All right, we start by thinking about 255 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,450 what the potential products are. 256 00:09:48,450 --> 00:09:51,300 How do we do that? We swap the cations, okay? 257 00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:56,300 So ammonium cation, let's combine them with the acetate ion. 258 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,540 Again, before writing it, 259 00:09:57,540 --> 00:09:58,980 let's just look over here. 260 00:09:58,980 --> 00:10:00,240 So where is ammonium? 261 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,140 Here's ammonium, and acetate is over here. 262 00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:06,810 So let's look at that. Oh yeah, that is soluble. 263 00:10:06,810 --> 00:10:08,730 So this one is soluble. 264 00:10:08,730 --> 00:10:13,050 The other one would be sodium and sulfate ions. 265 00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:17,250 So sodium is here, sulfate is here. 266 00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:20,073 What do we get? Oh, that's also soluble. 267 00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:22,680 Nothing is insoluble over here. 268 00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:25,500 What we'll get is soluble, so nothing precipitates out, 269 00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,210 which means we'll just end up with a solution 270 00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:30,150 where you have all these four kinds of ions. 271 00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:33,843 So that means we will get no reaction. 272 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,090 All right, so the final thing 273 00:10:36,090 --> 00:10:37,260 is that there's a special kind 274 00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:39,000 of double replacement reaction, 275 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,940 which we call acid-base neutralization. 276 00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:44,010 Now, we'll talk about what acids and bases are 277 00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:46,020 in detail in future videos, 278 00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:47,850 we'll look at all the cool properties and everything, 279 00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:49,860 but for now, think about acid 280 00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:51,510 as basically an ionic solution, 281 00:10:51,510 --> 00:10:55,410 which has hydrogen cation and some other anion, 282 00:10:55,410 --> 00:10:58,080 and base as an ionic solution, 283 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,590 which contains a hydroxide anion. 284 00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:04,080 And, of course, some metal cation. 285 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,240 For example, consider HCl, 286 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,420 which is an acid because it has a hydrogen cation, 287 00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:11,040 reacting with sodium hydroxide, 288 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,160 which is a base because it has a hydroxide anion. 289 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,273 What will happen? 290 00:11:16,170 --> 00:11:18,540 Well, we just swap the cations. 291 00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:21,750 So sodium will combine with chlorine 292 00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:25,830 to give me sodium chloride, and that is soluble, 293 00:11:25,830 --> 00:11:27,810 so I'll get an aqueous solution. 294 00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:29,670 But the interesting part over here is 295 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:31,920 what happens when hydrogen combines with OH-? 296 00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:37,290 What do we get? This is no longer an ionic salt. 297 00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:40,320 This is H2O. This is water. 298 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,270 Water is covalently bonded. 299 00:11:42,270 --> 00:11:46,530 So we now end up with a covalently bonded molecule. 300 00:11:46,530 --> 00:11:49,500 So we will get water, H2O. 301 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:51,510 And since it's no longer an ionic solution, 302 00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:52,920 we just write as liquid. 303 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,690 So look what we get in general. 304 00:11:54,690 --> 00:11:57,090 When you combine acid with a base, 305 00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,260 they neutralize each other to give us a salt and water. 306 00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:03,210 So this is a special kind of double replacement reaction 307 00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:05,070 because there are no precipitates over here, 308 00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:06,060 but the reaction happens 309 00:12:06,060 --> 00:12:09,693 because we get a covalently bonded liquid water.
