Starter 2/6 • Write the word equation from the following description: Zinc metal is added to hydrochloric acid to create zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
Ch. 8 Chemical Equations and Reactions 8.1b Balancing Equations and Writing Formula Equations
Balancing Equations • ONLY add/change coefficients- NEVER subscripts!!! • balance one type of atom at a time • balance polyatomic ions first • balance atoms that appear only once second • balance H and O last • simplify if you can • Check at end!
Writing Equations • Write Word equations to help you organize reactants and products • Be sure to include symbols showing states of each reactant and product • Be sure to write the correct formula for each (crossing over for ionic compounds!) • Check your balancing of the equation when you are finished
Example 1 • Description: Zinc metal is added to hydrochloric acid to create zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. • Word Equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid zinc chloride + hydrogen
Example 1 • Formula Equation: Zn (s) + HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) • Balanced Formula Equation Zn (s) + 2HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Example 2 • Solid calcium metal reacts with water to form aqueous calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. • calcium + water calcium hydroxide + hydrogen • Ca(s) + H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g) • Ca(s) + 2H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
Example 3 • solid zinc metal reacts with aqueous copper (II) sulfate to produce solid copper metal and aqueous zinc sulfate • zinc + copper (II) sulfate copper + zinc sulfate • Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq) • Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)
Example 4 • Hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution decomposes to produce oxygen and water • hydrogen peroxide oxygen + water • H2O2(aq) O2(g) + H2O(l) • 2H2O2(aq) O2(g) + 2H2O(l)
Example 5 • Solid copper metal reacts with aqueous silver nitrate to produce solid silver metal and aqueous copper (II) nitrate • copper + silver nitrate silver + copper (II) nitrate • Cu(s) + AgNO3(aq) Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) • Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)
Example 6 • Carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through water containing solid barium carbonate, creating aqueous barium bicarbonate • carbon dioxide + water + barium carbonate barium bicarbonate • CO2(g) + H2O(l) + BaCO3(s) Ba(HCO3)2(aq) • CO2(g) + H2O(l) + BaCO3(s) Ba(HCO3)2(aq)
Example 7 • Acetic acid solution is added to a solution of magnesium bicarbonate to create water, carbon dioxide gas, and aqueous magnesium acetate. • acetic acid + magnesium bicarbonate water + carbon dioxide + magnesium acetate • HCH3COO(aq) + Mg(HCO3)2(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g) + Mg(CH3COO)2(aq) • 2HCH3COO(aq) + Mg(HCO3)2(aq) 2H2O(l) + 2CO2(g) + Mg(CH3COO)2(aq)
