  1. Chemical Reactions By: Margaret Bambling And Alex Nahum

  2. Why do reactions take place? • They occur whenever bonds are formed or broken between molecules • Chemical reactions occur when one or more reactants change into one or more products

  3. Chemical equations • Is a quick shorthand notation to convey as much information as possible about what happens in a chemical reaction

  4. Writing equations • Reactants on the left: present at start of reaction • Products on the right: produced in chemical reaction • Separated by an arrow: arrow reading as yields • Ex. Iron + oxygen iron (III) oxide Reactant Reactant Product

  5. What is a balance chemical equation • A balanced equation is when each side of the equation has the same number of atoms of each element and mass is conserved

  6. Why Balance chemical equations • You have to balance equations for the reasoning of the law of conservation of matter • Can not destroy, or create matter

  7. How do you balance equations • Equation has to indicate the quantity of the reactants needed to make the product • To show quantity write coefficients in front of the formulas in equation • Use coefficients to balance equation so that it obeys the law of conservation

  8. Example of balancing equations • Before: NaCl Na+Cl2 • Chlorine is diatomic and always bonds into Cl2 when bonding by itself • After: 2NaCl 2Na+cl2 • Added 2 in front of Na to balance out the number of elements

  9. Synthesis Reaction • Two or more substance react to form a single new substance • Written example : A+X = AX +

  10. Decomposition Reaction • Change in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products • Written example: BX A + X +

  11. Single Displacement Reaction • Change in which one element replaces a second element in a compound • A metal replaces a metal and a nonmetal replaces a nonmetal • A + BX AX + B + +

  12. Double displacement Reaction • Change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds • AB + XY AY + XB • Take place in aqueous solution and often produce a precipitate, gas or a molecular compound + +

  13. Precipitates • Solid deposit from a solution • Whether a precipitate forms depend on both the solutes concentrations, and its saturation solubility at the specified temperature, as well as the maximum amount a substance can be dissolved into a given solvent

  14. Precipitates Cont… • Forms when two ionic compounds are mixed, that are both soluble, but form an insoluble compound when mixed • If AB and CD are both soluble, and A+ and B- are soluble, and C+ and D- are also, but when mixed compound A+D- is insoluble

  15. Combustion Reaction • Change in which an element or compound reacts with oxygen producing energy in the form of heat and light • Always involves oxygen as a reactant • Releases a large amount of energy as heat • CXHX + O2 CO2 + H2O 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 ---------> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
