All chemical reactions involve changing substances!! Reactants  Products Word Equations Describing a chemical reaction using words water  hydrogen + oxygen

Practice!! Write word equations for the following: Pure copper can be produced by heating copper (II) sulfide with oxygen. Sulfur dioxide is also produced in this reaction. Copper (II) sulfide + Oxygen  Copper + Sulfur dioxide

Describing Chemical Change Formula or Skeleton Equation Translate the words to formulas Skeleton equations do not indicate the relative amounts of the reactants and products water  hydrogen + oxygen H2O  H2 + O2

To write an equation, you must write the correct formula first To write an equation, you must write the correct formula first!! Finding Formulas Review Elements Is it an atom or a diatomic molecule (HON FClBrI)? Atom  single atom Silver Ag Diatomic  subscript 2 Chlorine Cl2

Finding Formulas Review Compounds Is it molecular (nonmetals) or ionic (metal or ammonium)? Molecule  Translate prefix Carbon dioxide CO2 Ionic  find charges, criss-cross, reduce Barium nitrate Ba2+ and NO3- Ba(NO3)2

Balancing Equation Rules Make sure you have the right formulas. Balance the atoms by changing the coefficients. Start with atoms that appear only once on each side. Usually you will do hydrogen and oxygen last. If a polyatomic ion is on both sides of the equation, treat it as one unit and balance it as a single unit. Balancing tricks If you are having trouble getting it to balance, double the first compound and try again. Double check to make sure all atoms and ions are balanced and the coefficients are in the lowest possible ration.

Make sure you have the right formulas. ___H2 + ___O2  ___H2O 2 1 2 ___H2 + ___O  ___H2O 1 1 1

Balance the atoms by changing the coefficients. ___H2 + ___O2  ___H2O 2 2 Can’t erase the 2 Can’t add a 2

___H2SO4 + ___NaOH  ___Na2SO4 + ___H2O 1 2 1 2 Start with atoms that appear only once on each side. Usually you will do hydrogen and oxygen last. ___H2SO4 + ___NaOH  ___Na2SO4 + ___H2O 1 2 1 2 Do Na and S first. 2. Do H next. 3. Do O last.

___Mg + ___AgNO3  ___Mg(NO3)2 + ___Ag 2 If a polyatomic ion is on both sides of the equation, treat it as one unit and balance it as a single unit. 2 ___Mg + ___AgNO3  ___Mg(NO3)2 + ___Ag 2 The anion, NO3 , is on both sides 2 3 3 2 ___H3PO4 + ___(NH4)2CO3  ___H2CO3 + ___(NH4)3PO4 NH4 , CO3 , and PO4 appear on both sides

___C2H6 + ___O2  ___CO2 + ___H2O 2 3 If you are having trouble getting it to balance, double the first compound and try again. ___C2H6 + ___O2  ___CO2 + ___H2O 2 3 How can you make this = 7 ? 4 + 3 = 7 ___C2H6 + ___O2  ___CO2 + ___H2O 2 7 4 6 8 + 6 = 14

6. More Practice! ___Pb(OH)4 + ___H2SO4  ___Pb(SO4)2 + ___H2O

___H2 + ___O2  ___H2O ___H2 + ___O2  ___H2O 4 2 4 2 1 2 7. Double check to make sure all atoms and ions are balanced and the coefficients are in the lowest possible ratio. ___H2 + ___O2  ___H2O 4 2 4 ___H2 + ___O2  ___H2O 2 1 2

There are five different types of reactions that we will study! Five Reaction Types There are five different types of reactions that we will study! Synthesis Decomposition Combustion Single Replacement Double Replacement

Five Reaction Types Mg + O2  Synthesis (combination) Reactions - 2 or more substances combining to make a single product. A + B  AB 2K + Cl2  2KCl CaO + H2O  Ca(OH)2 Mg + O2 

Synthesis + 

Five Reaction Types Ag2O  Decomposition Reaction - single reactant breaking down into simpler substances. AB  A + B 2H2O  2H2 + O2 CaCO3  CaO + CO2 Ag2O 

Decomposition

2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g)  16CO2(g) + 18H2O(g) Five Reaction Types Combustion Reactions - an element or compound reacting with oxygen(O2), often producing heat or light. A + O2(g)  AO or CO2 + H2O Element Combustion - also a combination reaction. 2Mg(s) + O2(g)  2MgO(s) Hydrocarbon Combustion - oxygen reacting with a substance containing hydrogen and carbon. In complete hydrocarbon combustion, the products will always be CO2 and H2O. 2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g)  16CO2(g) + 18H2O(g) C3H8(g) + O2(g) 

Combustion

Five Reaction Types Single Replacement Reaction - atoms of an element replacing the atoms of a second element in a compound. Only occurs if the elemental atoms are more reactive (chemically active) than the atoms they are attempting to replace in the compound. A + BX  B + AX X + AY  Y + AX

Single Replacement Copper is added to silver nitrate

Zn + AlCl3  NR (No Reaction) Five Reaction Types Activity Series Li K Ca Na Mg Al Zn Single Replacement cont. Li is higher (more reactive) than Na atoms so the following reaction would occur. Li + NaOH  Na + LiOH Zn is lower (less reactive) than Al and is therefore not active enough to replace the Al in the compound and a reaction would NOT occur. Zn + AlCl3  NR (No Reaction)

Five Reaction Types Mg + LiNO3  Na + Zn(NO3)2  Br2 + NaI  Activity Series Li K Ca Na Mg Al Zn Single Replacement cont. Mg + LiNO3  Na + Zn(NO3)2  Br2 + NaI 

Double Replacement

Five Reaction Types Na2S(aq) + Cd(NO3)2(aq)  CdS(s) + 2NaNO3(aq) Double replacement - exchange of two positive ions between two compounds. AX + BY  AY + BX A and B are trading places Na2S(aq) + Cd(NO3)2(aq)  CdS(s) + 2NaNO3(aq) Ca(OH)2(aq) + HCl(aq) 

Practice! Li3N + NH4NO3  HBr + Al(OH)3 

Predicting Products To predict the products of a chemical reaction, you must recognize the possible type of reaction that the reactants can undergo! Hydrocarbon Combustion - Are O2 and a hydrocarbon the reactants?  CO2 and H2O Decomposition - Only 1 reactant  break apart into elements Synthesis - Reactants are both elements?  combine to make one product Single replacement - Reactants an element (not O2) and a compound  check the activity series, replace like ions or NR Double Replacement - Reactants are both compounds?  trade the like ions

Steps to finding net ionic equations Predict Products Balance Find states (not soluble= (s), soluble = (aq)) Write ionic equations (separate aqueous into ions) Write net ionic equation by canceling spectator ions (can be NR)

Net Ionic Equations AgNO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq)  AgCl (s) + NaNO3 (aq) We can write this equation more realistically if we recognize that most ionic compounds dissociate or separate into cations and anions when they dissolve in water. Complete Ionic Equation- An equation that shows dissolved ionic compounds as their free ions. Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)+Na+(aq) + Cl- (aq) AgCl(s)+Na+(aq)+ NO3- (aq) This equation can be simplified and made more useful by eliminating the ions that do not participate in the reaction. You do this by canceling the ions that appear on both sides of the equation.

Net Ionic Equations Spectator Ions- Ions that are not directly involved in a reaction. What are the spectator ions in the previous problem? Rewrite the equation leaving out the spectator ions. Net Ionic Equation- indicates only the particles that actually take part in the reaction. Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)  AgCl (s)

Net Ionic Equations In writing balanced net ionic equations, you must also balance the electric charge. What is the net ionic equation of the following? (First write the complete ionic equation) Pb (s) + AgNO3 (aq)  Ag (s) + Pb(NO3)2 Pb (s) + Ag+ (aq)  Ag(s) + Pb2+ (aq) Although this equation is balanced with respect to atoms, the electrical charges do not balance. Pb (s) + 2Ag+ (aq)  Ag(s) + Pb2+ (aq)
