ZOOMING INTO A Flame 2

3 Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Water Ethanol What’s the hidden chemical change when ethanol burns? ?

The bottom of flame at atomic-molecular scale 4

The top of flame at atomic-molecular scale 5

How Atoms Bond Together in Molecules Atoms in stable molecules always have a certain number of bonds to other atoms: Oxygen atoms do NOT bond to other oxygen atoms if they can bond to carbon or hydrogen instead. Chemical energy is stored in bonds between atoms 6

Making the Reactant Molecules: Ethanol and Oxygen The flame of burning ethanol comes when ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) reacts with oxygen (O 2 ). 1.Make a molecules of ethanol and oxygen on the reactant side of your Molecular Models Placemat. 2.Use twist ties to represent energy. 3.Use the Forms of Energy cards to show which form of energy the twist ties represent. Follow along with your worksheet… 7

8 Photo of reactant molecules: C 2 H 5 OH (ethanol) and O 2 (oxygen) Start by making the molecules and energy units of the reactants and putting them on the reactants side, then rearrange the atoms and energy units to show the products. Remember: Atoms last forever (so you can rearrange atoms into new molecules, but can’t add or subtract atoms). Energy lasts forever (so you can change forms of energy, but energy units can’t appear or go away) ReactantsProducts Chemical change Ethanol Oxygen

Important: When you are finished constructing the reactants, put all extra pieces away. 9

Rearranging the Atoms to Make Product Molecules: Carbon Dioxide and Water The flame of burning ethanol comes when ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) reacts with oxygen (O 2 ) to produce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water (H 2 O). Show how this can happen: Follow along on your worksheet… 10

11 Photo of product molecules: CO 2 (carbon dioxide) and H 2 O (water) Start by making the molecules and energy units of the reactants and putting them on the reactants side, then rearrange the atoms and energy units to show the products. Remember: Atoms last forever (so you can rearrange atoms into new molecules, but can’t add or subtract atoms). Energy lasts forever (so you can change forms of energy, but energy units can’t appear or go away) Reactants Products Chemical change Water Carbon dioxide

12 Comparing photos of reactant and product molecules Start by making the molecules and energy units of the reactants and putting them on the reactants side, then rearrange the atoms and energy units to show the products. Remember: Atoms last forever (so you can rearrange atoms into new molecules, but can’t add or subtract atoms). Energy lasts forever (so you can change forms of energy, but energy units can’t appear or go away) Reactants Products Chemical change Ethanol Oxygen Water Carbon dioxide

Writing a Chemical Equation Chemists use chemical equations to show how atoms of reactant molecules are rearranged to make product molecules. Writing the equation in symbols. Chemists use an arrow to show how reactants change into products. Equations must be balanced. Remember: Atoms last forever. Try it: Can you write a balanced chemical equation to show the chemical change when ethanol burns? 19

20 Chemical equation for ethanol burning C 2 H 5 OH + 3O 2  2 CO H 2 O (in words: ethanol reacts with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water)
