Describing Chemical Changes or Reactions • Chemical Reaction: process by which one or more substances are changed into one or more different substances. • Original Substances Resulting Substances • Reactants Products
Evidence of a Chemical Reaction: • Easily observed changes that indicate a chemical reaction has occurred • Evolution of heat and light • Production of a gas • Formation of a precipitate • Color Change • Difficult to reverse
Word Equations • Write a word equation to describe the reaction of methane (natural gas) as it burns in the air to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. • Methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water
Representing a Chemical Change • Chemical Equation: represents with symbols and formulas, the identities and relative amounts of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Chemical Equation • Law of Conservation of Mass must be taken into account. • Adjust equation so that the same type of atoms and numbers of atoms are the same on both sides of the equation. • CH4(g) + O2(g) CO2(g) + H2O(g) • CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) • Symbols used in chemical equations, see p. 246. (s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, (aq) aqueous, Δ heat • Notice (aq) refers to a solution in water and thus to a homogeneous mixture not a pure substance
Write a word & chemical equation • Solid sodium oxide is added to water (at room temp.) and forms sodium hydroxide which is dissolved in water. • Sodium oxide(s) + water(l) sodium hydroxide (aq) • Na2O(s) + H2O(l) NaOH(aq) • Na2O(s) + H2O(l) 2NaOH(aq)
Write a word & chemical equation • Hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution decomposes to produce oxygen and water. • Hydrogen peroxide oxygen + water • H2O2(aq) O2(g) + H2O(l) • 2H2O2(aq) O2(g) + 2H2O(l)
Write a word & chemical equation • Solid copper metal reacts with aqueous silver nitrate to produce solid silver metal and aqueous copper(II) nitrate. • Copper(s) + silvernitrate(aq) silver(s) + copper(II)nitrate(aq) • Cu(s) + AgNO3 (aq) Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) • Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) 2Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)
Write a word & balanced chemical equation • Solid zinc metal reacts with aqueous copper(II) sulfate to produce solid copper metal and aqueous zinc sulfate. • Zinc(s) + copper(II)sulfate(aq)copper (s) + zinc sulfate (aq) • Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)
Guidelines for Balancing Equations • Write the chemical equation with the correct formulas for the reactants and products. • Count the number and types of atoms on both sides of the equation. • Balance the atoms of the elements that appear only once on each side of the equation.
Balancing Equations • Balance polyatomic ions that appear on each side of the equation. • Balance hydrogen and oxygen after all other atoms have been balanced. • Check both sides – count each element. • Use lowest coefficients.
What’s it spell? • Hydrogen • Oxygen • Fluorine • Bromine • Iodine • Nitrogen • Chlorine HOFBrINCl
HOFBrINCl • Elements that exist as diatomic molecules. • Cl2 is electrically neutral, whereas in a compound such as NaCl, chlorine is the chloride ion with a negative charge.
Write a Balanced Chemical Equation: • Zinc(s) + hydrochloric acid(aq)zinc chloride (aq) and hydrogen gas. • Zn(s) + HCl (aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) • Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Write a Balanced Chemical Equation: Aluminum carbide, Al4C3(s) + watermethane gas, CH4 + aluminum hydroxide(s) • Al4C3 (s) + H2O(l) CH4(g) + Al(OH)3(s) • Al4C3(s) + 12 H2O(l)3CH4(g) + 4Al(OH)3(s)
Write a Balanced Chemical Equation: • Aluminum sulfate + calcium hydroxide aluminum hydroxide + calcium sulfate Al2(SO4)3 + Ca(OH)2 Al(OH)3 + CaSO4 Al2(SO4)3 +3Ca(OH)22Al(OH)3 + 3CaSO4
CHO method: Combustion Reactions • Combustion Reaction contains a hydrocarbon + oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water. • Balance carbon first, then hydrogen and finally oxygen. • C2H6 + O2 CO2 + H2O • 2C2H6 +7 O24 CO2 + 6H2O
Types of Chemical Reactions Five Basic Types of Chemical Reactions: • Synthesis • Decomposition • Single-displacement • Double-displacement • Combustion
Synthesis • Two or more substances combine to form a new compound. • A + B AB (A & B may be compounds or elements)
Synthesis Examples • Mg(s) + O2(g) MgO(s) 2Mg(s) + O2(g)2MgO(s) • Ba (s) + S8 (s) BaS(s) 8Ba (s) + S8 (s) 8BaS(s) • Na(s) +Cl2(g) NaCl • 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2NaCl
Basic Oxides • Metal oxides react with water to produce Bases e.g. Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH K2O +H2O 2KOH CaO +H2O Ca(OH)2
Acidic oxides Non-metal oxides react with water in a synthesis reaction to produce oxy-acids e.g. SO2 +H2OH2SO3 sulphurous acid SO3 +H2O H2SO4 sulphuric acid NO2 +H2O HNO3 nitric acid CO2 +H2O H2CO3 carbonic acid P4O10 +H2O H3PO4 phosphoric acid B2O3 +3H2O2H3BO3 boric acid
Acidic oxide and basic oxide together! • When an acidic oxide (ie nonmetal oxide) reacts with a basic oxide (ie metal oxide) the result is a salt with a polyatomic ion • Li2O + CO2→ lithium carbonate • Li2O + CO2→ Li2CO3
Synthesis reactions- overview • A- elmt +elmt = Cmpd • 2Na + Cl2= 2NaCl • B- water + NMO(acidic oxide) =Acid • H2O + CO2= H2CO3 • C- water + MO (basic oxide) = Base • H2O + Li2O= 2 LiOH • D- MO + NMO= Salt with polyatomic • Li2O + CO2= Li2CO3
Decompositon • A single compound undergoes a reaction that produces 2 or more simpler substances. • AB A + B (A & B can be elements or compounds)
Decomposition Reactions • Another view of a decomposition reaction:
Decomposition Examples • H20 (l) H2(g) + O2(g) • 2H20 (l) 2H2(g) + O2(g) • HgO (s) Hg (g) +O2 (g) • 2HgO (s) 2Hg (g) +O2 (g) • CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)
Decomposition Exceptions • Carbonates and bicarbonates are special case decomposition reactions that do not go to the elements. • Carbonates (CO32-) decompose to carbon dioxide and a metal oxide • Example: CaCO3 CO2 + CaO • Hydrogen Carbonates (HCO3-) decompose to carbon dioxide, water and a metal oxide • Example: Ca(HCO3)2 2CO2 + H2O + CaO
Decomposition reactions- opposites of synthesis • A- Cmpd = elmt +elmt • 2NaCl = 2Na + Cl2 • B- Acid = water + NMO(acidic oxide) • H2CO3 = H2O + CO2 • C- Base = water + MO (basic oxide) • 2LiOH = H2O + Li2O • D- Salt with polyatomic = MO + NMO • Li2CO3 = Li2O + CO2
Single Displacement Reactions • One element replaces a similar element in a compound. • A + BC AC + B where A and B are metals and C is a non-metal or • A + BC BA + C where A and C are non- metals and B is a metal
Single Displacement Reactions • Another view:
Single Displacement Examples 2Al(s) + 3Pb(NO3)2(aq) 3Pb(s) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq) • Al replaces Pb (2 metal ions change position) • Cl2(g) + 2 KBr(aq) 2KCl(aq) + Br2(g) • Cl replaces Br (2 non-metal ions change position)
Activity Series • The ability of an element to react is called the elements “activity.” • The more readily an element reacts – the greater “activity” it has.
: Activity Series • A list organized by the ease at which certain elements will undergo a chemical reaction.(p.89) • Li K Ba Ca Na Mg Al Zn Fe Ni SnPb H Cu Hg Ag Au • The H near the end represents H of acid and NOT H of water • Notice all the metals used in jewelry are on the far right side • The order is determined by single-displacement reactions. • The list on p.165, the first 5 react with water (HOH) and the ones up to H react with acid (first 12)
Activity Series • Most Active • Least Active • The most active element is placed at the top (or on the left) and can replace each of the elements below it. (or to the right) Least active Most active
An element further down the list can only replace an element below it –not above it. • The Activity Series will predict whether or not a reaction will take place.
lithium potassium barium calcium sodium Activity series of metals React vigorously with cold water React slowly with cold water magnesium aluminum zinc iron React very slowly with steam but are quite reactive in acid increasing reactivity nickel Tin Lead React moderately with acid copper mercury silver gold Unreactive in acid
Activity series of metals used to predict reactions lithium potassium barium calcium sodium 1. Will potassium react with sodium iodide? Yes/No??? magnesium aluminum zinc iron 2. Will calcium react with copper selenide? Yes/No??? 3. Will sodium iodide react with potassium? increasing reactivity Yes/No??? Should be same answer as 1 nickel Tin Lead 4. Will zinc chloride react with iron? Yes/No??? 5. Will zinc chloride react with water? copper mercury silver gold Yes/No??? 6. Will zinc chloride react with an acid? Yes/No???
Halogen activity series • For the halogens in a single displacement reaction the order is fluorine (on top) most reactive followed by Cl, Br, I, At (least reactive) just as the order in column 17 of the periodic table • Thus, F can replace I but not the other way around
Activity Series Examples • Al will replace Zn: • 2Al (s) + 3ZnCl2(aq) 3Zn(s) + 2AlCl3 (aq) • Co will not replace Na • Co(s) + NaCl(aq) no rxn. • Cl will replace Br • Cl2 + NaBr Br2 + NaCl • Cl will not replace F • NaF + Cl2 no rxn
Double Displacement Reactions • The ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds. • A double displacement reaction is likely to occur if on the product side there is the formation of a liquid (as in water), a gas (CO2, SO2, SH2, NH3), or a solid (a precipitate insoluble i.e (s) for solid…see charts) • AB + CD AD + CB
Double Displacement Examples 2KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) 2 KNO3(aq) + PbI2(s) • K cation replaces Pb cation • I anion replaces nitrate anion FeS(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2S(g) + FeCl2(aq) • Fe cationreplaces H cation • S anion replaces Cl anion
…but there is more!! • Double displacement reactions only occur if at least one product is a solid, liquid or a gas! Like: CO2(g), H2O (l), NH3(g), SO2(g), PbSO4(s), H2S (g) • Not like ______ (aq) + _____ (aq) • If both products are aqueous, then no reaction occurs!! • Check your solubility rules! Write in the state of your previous products • If the products H2CO3, H2SO3, NH4OH are produced in a double displacement reaction, they further break down and form a gas and water.
H2CO3 breaks down into CO2(g) and H2O(l) • H2SO3 breaks down into SO2(g) and H2O(l) • NH4OH breaks down into NH3(g) and H2O(l) • Example: • Na2SO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2SO3(aq) • Na2SO3(aq)+2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) +H2O(l) + SO2(g)
Some simple solubility rules • All acids and alkali metal salts and NH4+ salts are soluble • All nitrate and acetate salts are soluble. • All chlorides are soluble except AgCl and Hg2Cl2 PbCl2 • All sulfates are soluble except PbSO4, Hg2SO4, SrSO4, BaSO4. Ag2SO4 and CaSO4. • All sulfides are insoluble except those of the Group IA (1), IIA (2) and ammonium sulfide. • All hydroxides are insoluble except those of the group IA(1) and Ba(OH)2. Sr(OH)2 and Ca(OH)2 are slightly soluble.
Reading the solubility chart • If a compound is soluble…it dissolves in water then you can write (aq) after the formula if water is present. • If a compound is insoluble (not soluble) then you can write (s) after the formula since it does not dissolve.
