Chemical vs. Physical Changes • Physical Change • No new compounds are formed • Ex. Cutting, ripping, dissolving, phase changes…
Chemical vs. Physical Changes • Chemical Change • Bonds are broken and the atoms in compounds are rearranged • New Compounds are created • Are the result of chemical reactions
Chemical Reactions • Evidence • Bubbling, Cloudy solution, Temperature Change, Color Change, Smoke, Light, Heat • Reactants: what you start with • Products: what you end with
Can be written as a sentence or an equation: Methane reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. or CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O (REACTANTS) (PRODUCTS)
Law of Conservation of Mass • During a chemical reaction, atoms CANNOT be created nor destroyed, only rearranged! • In other words, the number of atoms of each element in the reactants must equal the number of atoms in the products. • CHEMICAL EQUATIONS MUST BE BALANCED!!!
How to Balance Equations • Count the number of atoms on each side of the reaction. • Put a coefficient in front of one molecule that has too few atoms of an element. • Count the number of atoms again. • If all are equal—YOU ARE DONE! If not—REPEAT steps 2-3 until they are!
Reactants: C – 1 H – 4 O – 2 NOT BALANCED!!!!!!! Products: C – 1 H – 2 O – 2 + 1 = 3 CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2OCount the number of atoms:
Reactants: C – 1 H – 4 O – 2 * 2 = 4 BALANCED!!!!!!!!!! Products: C – 1 H – 2 * 2 = 4 O – 2 + 2 = 4 CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2OPut in coefficients:
Types of Reactions • Addition/Synthesis: two or more elements combine to form a new compound A + B AB Shortcut – only one product
Types of Reactions • Decomposition: one compound breaks apart to form two or more products AB A + B Shortcut – only one reactant
Types of Reactions • Single-Replacement (Displacement): an element replaces another element in a compound A +BX AX + B Shortcut - one element & one compound on both sides
Types of Reactions • Double-Replacement (Displacement): two elements in different compounds switch places AX + BY BX + AY Shortcut - Two compounds with elements switching places in each
Combustion: a compound containing carbon and hydrogen combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water • AB + O2 CO2 + H2O By Bailey Harp
Types of Reactions • Combustion: a compound containing carbon and hydrogen combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water AB + O2 CO2 + H2O
Types of Reactions • Exothermic: reactions that give energy off to their surroundings. • See a flame or feel heat (hand warmers, MREs) • Endothermic: reactions that absorb energy from their surroundings. • Feel cold (instant ice packs)
