Chemical Reactions Chemical reaction: the process of breaking chemical bonds and reforming new bonds to make new substances
Evidence of Chemical Change Four indicators of a chemical change: 1. Formation of new gas 2. Formation of new solid 3. Release energy (heat or light) 4. Color change Coke and Chlorine Iodine Clock Reaction Chameleon Reaction
Reactants and Products Reactant: starting substance(s) Product: new substance(s) formed
Reaction Symbols arrow = “to produce” The small symbols in the parentheses (s, l, g, aq) indicate the phase of each substance in the reaction.
Law of Conservation of Mass Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged.
Law of Conservation of Mass Mass of reactants = mass of products
Example • 5.0 g of magnesium (Mg) burns in 1.0 g of oxygen (O2). How many grams of magnesium oxide (MgO) should be produced? Mg + O2 MgO
Check-In • 10.2 g of Lithium Fluoride (LiF) and an unknown amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) react to form 13.5 g of Lithium chloride (LiCl) and 21.2 g of Sodium fluoride (NaF). How many grams of sodium chloride reacted? LiF + NaCl LiCl + NaF
Balancing Chemical Equations The law of conservation of mass tells us that atoms and molecules must be balanced on both sides of a chemical equation.
Balancing Chemical Equations coefficient subscript • Rules: • Subscripts (small numbers) CANNOT be changed. • Coefficients (big numbers) placed in front of the chemical formula.
Balancing Chemical Equations coefficient subscript Write in pencil So you can Erase!! • Balancing Steps: • Draw a line to separate reactants from products • Make a list! – each element on each side • --Write in the same order • Add coefficients if needed (change your list!)
Balancing Chemical Equations ___Li2S + ___ Cl2 → ___ LiCl + ___S
Balancing Chemical Equations ___Mg + ___ O2 → ___ MgO
Balancing Chemical Equations Example #1 ___Cu2S + ___ O2 → ___ Cu2O + ___ SO2
Balancing Chemical Equations Example #2 ___Al + ___O2 → ___ Al2O3
Balancing Chemical Equations EXIT SLIP ___ CO2 + ___ H2 → ___ CH4 + ___ H2O
Hints for balancing: • Save single elements (Al, Cu, Na) and diatomic molecules (I2, Cl2, O2) for last. C2H4 + O2→ CO2 + H2O
Hints for balancing: • Find Common Multiples KClO3→ KCl + O2
Hints for balancing: • Keep polyatomic ions together H2SO4 + Ca3(PO4)2→ Ca(H2PO4)2 + CaSO4
