Chemical Reactions. Chemical reactions occur when bonds between the outermost parts of atoms are formed or broken. Chemical reactions involve changes in matter, the making of new materials with new properties, and energy changes.

Chemical reactions occur when bonds between the outermost parts of atoms are formed or broken
Chemical reactions involve changes in matter, the making of new materials with new properties, and energy changes.
Symbols represent elements, formulas describe compounds, chemical equations describe a chemical reaction
Items to the LEFT of the arrow in a chemical equation are called REACTANTS. Na + Cl NaCl
Items to the right of the arrow are called PRODUCTS. Ex: Na + Cl NaCl
Important NOTE: No matter how many reactants and products are involved, all atoms present at the start of a reaction are present at the end.
Conservation of Mass THE TOTAL MASS OF THE REACTANTS MUST EQUAL THE TOTAL MASS OF PRODUCTS. MATTER IS NEVER CREATED OR DESTROYED.
Coefficient A number that tells how many molecules of a substance are involved in a chemical reaction. A coefficient of 1 is not written.
Subscripts • A subscript indicates how many atoms of an element are in a compound Ex. H2SO4 H= 2 S = 1 O = 4
Symbols +-- used to separate two reactants or products. (yields) Separates reactants and products.
Exothermic Reactions that release heat.
Endothermic Reactions that absorb heat.
Catalyst A substance that speeds up chemical reactions.
Inhibitor A substance that slows down a chemical reaction.
Combustion Reactions that have hydrocarbons (CH4) and oxygen as reactants, and carbon dioxide and water as products.
Example: C3H8 + 5O2 3CO2 + 4H2O
Examples 2Na + Cl2 2NaCl Na2O + CO2 Na2CO3
Decomposition Reactions Starts with one reactant and ends with 2 or more products.
Examples 2 KClO3 2KCl+3O2 2NaCl 2Na + Cl2
Single Replacement Reactions One compound and a free element that recombine to yield a new compound and new free element.
Examples Fe + CuSO4 Cu + FeSO4 2Na + 2HCl H2 + 2NaCl
Double Replacement Reactions Starts with 2 compounds as reactants. These recombine to form 2 new compounds as products. + +
Examples NaCl + AgNO3 NaNO3 + AgCl KOH + HNO3 HOH + KNO3 C:\Documents and Settings\mswilliams\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK1B5\types.htm
Let's Practice! The first slide shows the unbalanced equation, followed by the balanced equation.
Unbalanced C + O2 ----- CO2
Balanced C + O2 ----- CO2
Unbalanced NaCl ---- Na + Cl2
Balanced 2NaCl ---- 2Na + Cl2
Unbalanced FeCl2 + K2S -- FeS + KCl
Balanced FeCl2 + K2S -- FeS + 2KCl
Unbalanced C2H4 + O2 CO2 + H2O
Balanced C2H4 + 3O2 2CO2 + 2H2O
Unbalanced AlCl3 + Na2CO3 Al2(CO3)3 + NaCl
Balanced 2AlCl3 + 3Na2CO3 Al2(CO3)3 + 6NaCl
Unbalanced CS2 + O2 CO2 + SO2
Balanced CS2 + 3O2 CO2 + 2SO2
Unbalanced Fe + H2O Fe3O4 + H2
Balanced 3Fe + 4H2O Fe3O4 + 4H2
Unbalanced AlCl3 Al + Cl2
Balanced 2AlCl3 2Al + 3Cl2
Unbalanced Na + H2SO4 ---> Na2SO4 + H2
Balanced 2Na + H2SO4 ---> Na2SO4 + H2
