Chapter 5- 2: Writing Chemical Equations. I. Understanding Chemical Equations. A. Chemical equations are a short way to write chemical reactions 1. uses symbols instead of words. Examples: 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O  C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2. or 2H 2 + O 2  2H 2 O.

  1. Chapter 5- 2: Writing Chemical Equations

  2. I. Understanding Chemical Equations A. Chemical equations are ashort way to write chemical reactions 1. uses symbols instead of words. Examples: 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2 or 2H2 + O2 2H2O

  3. B. Structure of an Equation 1. 2. 3. 4.

  4. II. Conservation of Mass • mass of the reactants must equal mass of products. • 1. beginning mass = ending mass

  5. III. Classifying Chemical Reactions • A. Three (3) types of chemical reactions: • synthesis reactions • decomposition reactions • replacement reactions

  6. Synthesis Reaction: • a. reaction in which two or more substances • combine to form a single compound. • For example: Na +Cl NaCl

  7. Decomposition reaction • a. reaction in which a single compound breaks • down to form two ore more simpler • substances. • For example: H2O2 H2O + O2

  8. Water can be decomposed into the elements hydrogen and oxygen throughelectrolysis.

  9. Single replacement reaction • a. when one element replaces another in a • compound. • Example: Zn +2HCl ZnCl2+ H2

  10. Single replacement reaction:

  11. 4. Double replacement reaction a. reaction in which ions in two compounds switch places. Example: NaCl +AgF NaF +AgCl
