Chapter 8 Chemical Reactions
What a chemical equation looks like: yields 2 Na (s) + Cl2(g) 2 NaCl (s) coefficients symbols state of matter
How to describe a chemical change 1. Word equations Reactants Products Examples: iron + oxygen iron (III) oxide
2. skeleton equation First step in an chemical equation Does not show amounts Uses common symbols
3. “Common symbols” a. solid (s) b. liquid (l) c. gas (g) d. aqueous solution (aq)- substance dissolved in water
e. catalyst 1. Speeds up the reaction 2. Is not used up 3. Written on the arrow Δ –heat catalyst MnO4
f. Examples MnO2 H2O2 (aq) ----> H2O (l) + O2(g) 4. skeleton examples a. Iron(III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to produce iron and carbon dioxide
b. Heating potassium chlorate in the presence of MnO2 produces oxygen gas and potassium chloride as a solid
Balancing Chemical Equations 1. 2H2(g) + O2(g) 2 H2O (l) 2. Only numbers you may write are coefficients. 3. YOU MAY NEVER CHANGE SUBSCRIPTS!
4. Leave H and O go until last. 5. Reduce if possible, lowest whole number ratios. 6. Examples: a. AgNO3 + H2S Ag2S + HNO3
b. HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O c. Al(OH)3 + H2CO3 --> Al2(CO3)3 + H2O d. Al + S8 --> Al2S3 e. N2 + H2 --> NH3
Types of Chemical Reaction A. Combination reaction (synthesis) 1. Two or more elements combine to form ONE product 2. A + X AX 2K(s) + Cl2(g) 2KCl (s)
B. Decomposition 1. one reactant breaks into products 2. AX A + X 3. Ex. H2CO3 (aq) H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
C. Single displacement 1. A + BX AX + B element + compound compound + element 2. Ex. Cu + 2 AgCl CuCl2 + 2 Ag
D. Double displacement 1. positive ions switch with positive ions 2. AX + BY BX + AY 3. NaOH + HClNaCl + H2O
E. Combustion 1. always a hydrocarbon (C and H) added to oxygen 2. products are always carbon dioxide and water 3. Ex. 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 4 CO2 + 6H2O
G. Net Ionic Equation 1. Spectator ions – “watch” do not really do anything 2. Break only (aq) ions apart 3. Do not break (s) apart
4. Examples: • AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) • Pb (s) + AgNO3 (aq) Ag (s) +Pb(NO3)2(aq)
F. Combustion reactions 1. always reacts with oxygen 2. hydrocarbon (some form of CH) plus oxygen always gives carbon dioxide and water
3. Examples: a. C6H6 + O2
