CHEMICAL REACTIONS – Ch 7 Notes Reactants: Zn + I2 Product: Zn I2
Introduction • Chemical reactions occur when _______ between atoms are _______ or ________ • Chemical reactions involve ________ in matter, the making of _____ materials with ______ properties, and _______ changes. • Chemical reactions are written in symbolic form. • How can you tell a chemical reaction is happening?
Energy is in the bonds! • ___________ rxns – bonds ______ and energy is ________ • ___________ rxns – bonds _______ and energy is ________
Parts of a Reaction Equation • ______________ (molecules on left of arrow) • ______________ (molecules on right of arrow). • “+” sign separates molecules on same side • “” is read as “____________” • Ex: carbon plus oxygen react to yield carbon dioxide C + O2 CO2
Other symbols • ____________ - numbers in front • Show relative amounts of reactants & products • Shows the “__________” 4Al (s) + 3O2 (g) ---> 2Al2O3 (s) • Letters (s), (g), and (l) are the ___________ states of compounds.
Lavoisier, 1788 Chemical Equations Because of the principle of the ______________ __ _____, an equation must be _________. It must have the same number of ______ of the same kind on _____ sides.
Balancing Equations • When balancing a chemical reaction you may add coefficients in front of the compounds to balance the reaction, but you may ___ change the subscripts. • Changing the subscripts changes the compound. Subscripts are determined by the valence electrons (charges for ionic or sharing for covalent)
Subscripts vs. Coefficients Why is it important NOT to change the subscripts when balancing reactions?
Steps to Balancing Equations 1. DO NOT CHANGE THE _________________! 2. Always start on the ___________. 3. Compare the number of _____ for each element on either side of the reaction 4. Add or change ________________ to balance. 5. Every time you make a change, go back to the _______________. 6. If polyatomic ions are present on both sides, treat them as one unit. 7. Check your answer.
Balancing Equations ___ H2(g) + ___ O2(g) ---> ___ H2O(l) What Happened to the Other Oxygen Atom????? This equation is not balanced! What coefficients need to be added to balance this equation?
Balancing Equations ____C3H8(g) + _____ O2(g) ----> _____CO2(g) + _____ H2O(g) ____B4H10(g) + _____ O2(g) ----> ___ B2O3(g) + _____ H2O(g)
Balancing Equations Sodium phosphate + iron (III) oxide sodium oxide + iron (III) phosphate Na3PO4 + Fe2O3 ----> Na2O + FePO4
Which Is Balanced? Now Try These: Mg + O2 MgO 2Mg + O2 2MgO Mg + ½O2 MgO Mg2 + O2 2MgO 4Mg + 2 O2 4MgO a) P4 + O2 P4O10 b) Li + H2O H2+ LiOH c) Bi(NO3)3 + K2S Bi2S3 + KNO3 d) C2H6 + O2 CO2 + H2O
