Chemical changes (reactions) 2H2 + O22H2O 2NaOH(aq) + CuCl2(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + Cu(OH)2(s) Cu + 2AgNO3 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 NH3 + H2O NH4OH NH4NO3(s) N2O(g) + 2H2O(g) How could we get a handle on those changes?
Organization of chemical reactions ® O + C C O O O C + O2 CO2 • Chemical reactions are merely rearrangements of atoms into different combinations called compounds. There got to be some patterns that can be categorized into different types.
Unit objectives • There are millions of reactions. • Can’t remember them all. • Fall into several categories. • Will learn 5 types. • Will be able to predict the products. • For some we will be able to predict whether they will happen at all. • Will recognize them by the reactants
exercise Balancing the following chemical equations: aluminum(s) + iodine(s) aluminum iodide(s) sulfur trioxide + water sulfuric acid (H2SO4) lithium oxide + water lithium hydroxide Do you see the patterns?
Synthesis reactions • Called also combination reactions • General Equation: A + B ® AB • Animation: • 2 elements, or compounds combine to make one compound. • Mg +O2® MgO • SO2 + H2O ® H2SO3
Types of Synthesis Reactions • Combination of elements Element + element ® compound • 2Hg + O2® 2HgO • 9Mg + 3N2® 3Mg3N2 Nonmetalic Oxides + water ® acid • SO2 + H2O ® H2SO3 • P4O10 + 6H2O ® 4H3PO4
Types of Synthesis reactions • Metalic oxides + water ® base • MgO + H2O ® Mg(OH)2 • Na2O + H2O ® 2NaOH • Metallic oxides + nonmetallic oxide ® salt • MgO + CO2® MgCO3 • CaO + SiO2® CaSiO3
exercise Watch the following video clips and write balanced equations: 1. Thermal decomposition of copper(II) nitrate When heated, solid copper(II) nitrate decomposes into copper(II) oxide, nitrogen dioxide and water vapor. 2. Thermal decomposition of zinc carbonate When heated, solid zinc carbonate decomposes into solid zinc oxide and carbon dioxide gas. Do you see the patterns?
Decomposition reactions Substances break apart. • General Form: AB ® A + B • Animation: • Decomposition reactions are reverse of synthesis, with exceptions.
Decomposition reactions Special Cases • Metal Chlorate ® metal chloride + oxygen 2KClO3®2KCl + 3O2 • Metal bicarbonate ® metal oxide + carbon dioxide + water 2NaHCO3® Na2O + 2CO2 + H2O
Decomposition reactions Special Cases • Most oxides are stable, only few decompose: 2HgO ® Hg + O2 • Electrolysis of molten salt (decomposition by electricity) is the only means for decomposition for some substances: 2H2O ® 2H2 + O2 2NaCl ® 2Na + Cl2
demos The methane bubble The perfect combution (ethanol) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb-KB_BshUc&NR=1 Burning of methanol Do you see the patterns?
Combustion reactions • A compound composed of only C, H and maybe O is reacted with oxygen • If the combustion is complete, the products will be CO2 and H2O. • If the combustion is incomplete, the products will be CO and H2O.
exercises • C4H10 + O2® (complete combustion) • C4H10 + O2® (incomplete combustion) • C6H12O6 + O2® (complete combustion) • C8H8 +O2® (incomplete combustion)
More exercises • Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of each of these compounds. a) acetic acid, HC2H3O2 c) glycerol, C3H8O3 b) decane, C10H22 d) sucrose, C12H22O11 • Write a balanced equation for the incomplete combustion of each of these compounds. a) glycerol, C3H8O3 c) acetic acid, HC2H3O2 b) glucose, C6H12O6 d) acetylene, C2H2
