E N D
Objectives • Write chemical equations to describe chemical reactions • Balance chemical equations • Classify and identify chemical reactions • Predict products from chemical reactions
I. Reactions and equations • Chemical reactions: • A chemical change has occurred • Evidence of a chemical reaction • Temperature change (energy change) • Change in color
Evidence of chemical change • Gas production (bubbles, fizzing, odor) • Formation of a solid (precipitate)
YouTube - ammonium dichromate volcano • YouTube - Nitrogen Triiodide Detonation • YouTube - Sodium and Water • YouTube - Reaction of Sodium & Chlorine (with subtitles)
Representing chemical reactions: • Reactants: starting substances (written on the left side) • Products: substances that result from the reaction (written on the right side) • Anarrowiswrittenbetweenreactants and products and isread as “yields”
Word Equations • Statementsusedtoindicatereactants and products • Lackimportantinformation • Ex.Hydrogen (g) + oxygen (g) water (l) • Skeletonequations • Chemical formulas are usedtorepresentreactants and products • Ex. H2 (g) + O2 (g) H2O (l)
Learning Check: • Write the skeleton equations for the following: • Hydrogen (g) + Bromine (l) hydrogen bromide (g) • Carbon monoxide (g) + oxygen (g) carbon dioxide (g)
Practice: • Write the skeleton equations for the following: • Hydrogen (g) + Bromine (l) hydrogen bromide (g) H2 (g) + Br2 (l) HBr (g) • Carbon monoxide (g) + oxygen (g) carbon dioxide (g) CO (g) + O2 (g) CO2 (g) CW p 284 # 3, p 980 9.1 #1,2
II. Balancing chemical equations • Chemical equations: • Must obey “law of conservation of matter” • Must show that the number of atoms of each substance is the same before and after the reaction. • A chemical equation has to be BALANCED • To balance chemical equations, COEFFICIENTS (whole number)are written in front of a reactant or product. • If coefficient is 1, it is not written
Steps for balancing equations • Write the skeleton equation for the reaction. Ex. Hydrogen gas reacts with chlorine gas and yields gaseous hydrogen chloride. H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) HCl(g) • Count the atoms of each substance for the reactants and products.
Place coefficients (ONLY IN FRONT OF A REACTANT OR PRODUCT) to make number of atoms of each element equal on both sides of the equation. (#atoms= coefficient x subscript) H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) HCl(g)
Write coefficients in lowest ratio possible H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) 2HCl(g) • Check your answer.
Practice 1. Write a balanced chemical equation if sulfur trioxide when heated yields sulfur dioxide and oxygen.
Write a balanced chemical equation for: Iron (III) oxide iron (II) oxide + oxygen
Balance the following reaction CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2
