Chapter 8 Chemical Reactions
Indications of a Chemical Reaction • Evolution of heat and light • Production of a gas • Formation of a precipitate • Color change
All chemical reactions • have two parts • Reactants - the substances you start with • Products- the substances you end up with • Reactants yield Products
Characteristics of Chemical Equations • Represent the known facts • Contain correct formulas and symbols • Satisfy the law of conservation of mass (they must be balanced using coefficients)
Word and Formula Equations • Copper reacts with oxygen to form copper (II) oxide. • word equation • Copper + oxygen ® copper (II) oxide • formula equation • Cu + O2® CuO • balanced chemical equation • 2Cu + O2® 2CuO
Symbols Used In Chemical Equations • yields • + and • (s) or (cr) solid • (g) gas • (l) liquid • (aq) aqueous solution
Symbols Used In Chemical Equations • gaseous product • ¯ precipitate • reversible reaction • reactants are heated • A catalyst used to change the rate of the reaction
What is a catalyst? • A substance that speeds up a reaction without being changed by the reaction. • Enzymes are biological or protein catalysts.
What is a reversible reaction? • A chemical reaction in which the products reform the original reactants.
Write the formula equation • Solid iron (III) sulfide reacts with gaseous hydrogen chloride to form solid iron (II) chloride and hydrogen sulfide gas. • Nitric acid dissolved in water reacts with solid sodium carbonate to form liquid water and carbon dioxide gas and sodium nitrate dissolved in water.
Write the word equations • Fe(s) + O2(g) ® Fe2O3(s) • Cu(s) + AgNO3(aq) ® Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) • NO2 (g) N2(g) + O2(g)
Balancing Chemical Equations A step by step approach
Balanced Equation • Atoms can’t be created or destroyed • All the atoms we start with we must end up with • A balanced equation has the same number of each element on both sides of the equation.
® O + C C O O O • Carbon + oxygen yields carbon dioxide • C + O2® CO2 • This equation is already balanced
® O + C C O O • Carbon + oxygen yields carbon monoxide • C + O2® CO • We need one more oxygen in the products. • Can’t change the formula
C O ® O + C O • Must be another CO • But where did the other C come from? C O
C C O ® O + O • Must have started with two C • 2 C + O2® 2 CO C O C
Rules for balancing • Write the correct formulas for all the reactants and products • Count the number of atoms of each type appearing on both sides • Balance the elements one at a time by adding coefficients (the numbers in front) • Balance polyatomic ions that appear on both sides of the equation as single units
Always • Recount atoms as coefficients are added or changed • Reduce the coefficients to represent the smallest whole number ratio of reactants and products
Never • Add, delete, or change a subscript to balance an equation. • Never put a coefficient in the middle of a formula
Example H2 + O2 ® H2O Make a table to keep track of atoms
Example H2 + O2 ® H2O 2 H 2 2 O 1 Need twice as much O in the product
Example H2 + O2 ® 2 H2O 2 H 2 2 O 1 Changes the O
Example H2 + O2 ® 2 H2O 2 H 2 2 O 1 2 Also changes the H
Example H2 + O2 ® 2 H2O 2 H 2 4 2 O 1 2 Need twice as much H in the reactant
Example 2 H2 + O2 ® 2 H2O 2 H 2 4 2 O 1 2 Recount
Example 2 H2 + O2 ® 2 H2O 4 2 H 2 4 2 O 1 2 The equation is balanced, has the same number of each kind of atom on both sides
Example 2 H2 + O2 ® 2 H2O 4 2 H 2 4 2 O 1 2 This is the answer Not this

Types of Reactions5 Basic Types(pages 256-264) Predicting the Products
Synthesis • the combination of 2 or more substances to form a compound • Two reactants one product A + B AB
Synthesis H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2 HCl(g)
Synthesis • 2 elements, or compounds combine to make one compound. • Three types: • Reaction of elements + oxygen or sulfur • Reaction of metals + halogens • Reactions with oxides
Synthesis • Examples (see pages 256-258)
Decomposition • a compound breaks down into 2 or more simpler substances • one reactant two products AB A + B
Decomposition • one reactant breaks apart into two or more elements or compounds. • Usually requires heat or electricity • A catalyst may be used to speed up the reaction • The decomposition of a substance by electricity is called electrolysis
Decomposition • Can predict the products easily if it is a binary compound • 2H2O 2H2 + O2 • 2NaCl 2Na + Cl2
Decomposition 2 H2O(l) 2 H2(g) + O2(g)
Decomposition • decomposition of metal carbonates • decomposition of metal hydroxides • decomposition of metal chlorates • decomposition of acids.
Decomposition • Examples (see pp. 259-260) h.w. handout
Single Replacement • one element replaces another in a compound • metal replaces metal (+) and hydrogen • nonmetal replaces nonmetal (-) A + BC B + AC
Single Replacement Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Single Replacement • Examples: (see p. 261-262)
Double Replacement • ions in two compounds “change partners” • cation of one compound combines with anion of the other AB + CD AD + CB
Double Replacement Pb(NO3)2(aq) + K2CrO4(aq) PbCrO4(s) + 2KNO3(aq)
Double Replacement • Formation of a precipitate, gas, or water • Examples ( see pages 262-263) • H.w. handout
Combustion • the burning of any substance in O2 to produce a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Combustion • Combustion of a hydrocarbon with oxygen • the products will be CO2 and H2O. (may get C and CO under less than perfect conditions) Balance C, H, then O
Examples • C2H6 + O2® • C3H8 + O2® • C4H10 + O2® • C7H16 + O2®
