Chemical equation used to describe Chemical Reactions Produce Products Reactants
Symbols in chemical reactions • (s) Solid • Liquid • (g) Gas • (aq) Aqueous,solid • dissolved in water • Produces or yields
Burning of Charcoal Carbon + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Simplified to: CO2 (g) C (s) + O2 (g)
Antoine Lavoisier • Law of conservation of mass: • Mass neither lost nor gained during a chemical reaction • Mass products = mass reactants
Balancing Chemical Equations • Atoms of Reactants and Products must be balanced to satisfy law conservation of mass
Synthesis: two or more Substances react to form a Single substance A + B Ex: 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) AB 2H2O (l)
Synthesis of Water An explosive reaction!
Decomposition: Compound breaks Down into two or more simpler Substances AB A + B Ex: 2H2O (l) H2 (g) + O2 (g) electricity
Electrolysis of water O2 gas H2 gas
Single Replacement : “partner stealing” One element takes the place of another Element in a compound A + BC B + AC Cu + 2AgNO3 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2
Double Displacement: “partner swapping” Two different compounds exchange Positive ions and form two new compounds (+) (+) AB + CD AD + BC Pb(NO3)2 + 2 KI PbI2 + 2KNO3 DD reactions usually form a gas or a precipitate
Combustion: Substance reacts rapidly with oxygen always producing heat, carbon dioxide and water CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O Methane oxygen carbon dioxide water
Chemical Reactions In all chemical reactions: Energy is either: 1. Released 2. Absorbed
Exothermic Reactions • Produces heat (feels warm) • More energy is released as products form, than is required to break bonds in reactants
Endothermic Reactions • Reaction uses more heat than it gives off (feels cold) • more energy is required to break bonds than to form new ones
Reaction Rate • How fast a reaction is occurring • Increased rate = fast • Decreased rate = slow
5 Factors Affecting Reaction Rate • 1. Temperature: • Higher temp. = faster reaction
2. Surface area • Increasing surface area (crush into smaller pieces) = fasterreaction rate
3. Concentration of Reactants • Increasing concentration = faster reaction rate
4. Use of Catalyst • Catalyst: substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed
5. Stirring • Stirring increases reaction rate Stirrer used in industry
