Section 9.1 REACTIONS AND EQUATIONS. In a chemical reaction…. atoms are ____________ (fill in the blank). What are some common reactions in your everyday life?. How can you tell when a chemical reaction has taken place ?.
E N D
In a chemical reaction… atoms are ____________ (fill in the blank)
Formation of a ___________________also known as a ___________________
Chemists use ______________ to represent chemical reactions. The starting substances are __________________What youend up with are _____________When do you use chemical equations in your own life?
REAL LIFE EXAMPLE:You are going to bake cookies. You know that: ____flour + ____sugar + ____baking powder + ___butter + ___chocolate chipsmakes ___cookies This is a _______________EQUATION. What are theproduct(s)?What arethereactant(s)?
What else do you need to know…. if you already know that you need to bake them at 350 for ½ hour??
You need to know the _________________ ______________________ of the ingredients with respect to each other.In other words, you need a ___________________ ________________(Remember – cooking is chemistry!!)
You are anEVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTconcerned aboutGLOBAL WARMING You are asked to determine how much carbon dioxide will be produced from the amount of methane burned by a factory. The first thing you need is aWORD EQUATION
Word equations are clunky and they don’t tell you very much… You can make your equation less clunky if you use _________________________instead of words.
__ CH4 + __O2 __CO2 + __ H2O This type of equation is a ____________ equation.
In addition, to give more information in an equation, symbols are used to represent the _____________________ of the substances, including:Solids = _______ Aqueous = ______Gases = _______ Liquids = ______(Aqueous means ___________________________________________________
__ CH4(g) + __ O2(g) __ CO2(g) +__ H2O(l)This equation still doesn’t have enough information…What else do you need?
CH4 CO2 O2 H2O
A very important rule in balancing equations: never change the________________________ For example:______ cannot be changedto_______
However, the coefficients can be changed in order to balance the equation. Begin by counting the number of ___ Na(s) + ___ Cl2(g) ___ NaCl (s)
ANOTHER RULE:If you balance an equation, and then find that all of the coefficients are divisible by a common number, you must divide them by that number…
2CH4 + 4O22CO2+4H2O WRONG!
CH4 +2O2CO2+2H2O RIGHT!!
Hint #1If a polyatomic ion appears unchanged on both sides of the equation, balance it as a unit – not as individual atoms
Example #1 of Hint #1 __Al(NO3)3 + __LiOH __LiNO3 + __ Al(OH)3
] [ [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Al(OH)3 Al(NO3)3 [ ] [ ] LiOH LiNO3
Example #2 of Hint #1 __(NH4)3PO4 +__ BaSO4 __(NH4)2SO4 +__Ba3(PO4)2
Example #3 of Hint #1:(involves an acid-base reaction)__ H2SO4 + __KOH ___K2SO4 + __ H2O
Hint #2 for balancing an equation:First, balance an element that only appears in one reactant and one product (leaving oxygen to last and hydrogen to second last.) __C3H8+__O2 __CO2 + __H2O
Example of Hint #2__C5H12 (g)+__O2(g) __CO2(g) + __H2O(l)
HINT #3If you balance all of the elements ansd the polyatomic ions, except for one element, and there’s an odd # of that element on one side, and an even number on the other side – balance that element with a fractional number (containing ½) and then double all of the coefficients
