Chemical vs Physical changes • Chemical rnx (reaction) Baking a cake or burning wood Vs Water to Ice What is Water to Vapor (boiling water)
Law of conservation of matter • This law states matter can neither be created or destroyed only converted.
Word equation • (all words) Solid ammonium chromate when heated decomposes into ammonia gas and solid Chromate while giving off energy. (NH4)2(CrO4)(s) (NH4)(g) + CrO4 (s)
CH4 (g) + O2 (g) H2O (l) + CO2(g) The break down: Symbols “+” separates products or separates reactants yield, make; separates products from reactants. Points to product. (direction of rnx) g= gas or vapor l=pure liquid aq= aqueous solution; dissolved into water; all acids are aqueous. s= solid
Word Problems Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas form ammonia vapor. N2 (g) + H2 (g) ___ (g) N2 (g) + H2 (g) NH3(g)
We need coefficients to help balance equations N2(g) + 3H2 (g) 2NH3(g) What is special about the coefficient in front of the Nitrogen gas? Coefficients
