Balancing Reactions

Law of Conservation of Mass “We may lay it down as an incontestable axiom that, in all the operations of art and nature, nothing is created; an equal amount of matter exists both before and after the experiment. Upon this principle, the whole art of performing chemical experiments depends.” --Antoine Lavoisier, 1789

Dalton’s Postulates Atoms of an element are not changed into atoms of a different element by chemical reactions; atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. They just rearrange!

3.7 A process in which one or more substances is changed into one or more new substances is a chemical reaction. A chemical equation uses chemical symbols to show what happens during a chemical reaction. reactantsproducts

How to “Read” Chemical Equations 2 Mg + O 2 2 MgO 2 atoms Mg + 1 molecule O 2 makes 2 formula units MgO 2 moles Mg + 1 mole O 2 makes 2 moles MgO 48.6 grams Mg grams O 2 makes 80.6 g MgO IS NOT 2 grams Mg + 1 gram O 2 makes 2 g MgO 3.7

Balancing Chemical Equations 1.Write the correct formula(s) for the reactants and the product(s). Ethane reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water C 2 H 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O 2.Change the numbers in front of the formulas (coefficients) to make the number of atoms of each element the same on both sides of the equation. Do not change the subscripts C 2 H 6 NOT C 4 H 12

Balancing Chemical Equations 3.Start by balancing those elements that appear in only one reactant and one product. C 2 H 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O 3.7 start with C or H but not O 2 carbon on left 1 carbon on right multiply CO 2 by 2 C 2 H 6 + O 2 2CO 2 + H 2 O 6 hydrogen on left 2 hydrogen on right multiply H 2 O by 3 C 2 H 6 + O 2 2CO 2 + 3H 2 O

Balancing Chemical Equations 4.Balance those elements that appear in two or more reactants or products oxygen on left 4 oxygen (2x2) C 2 H 6 + O 2 2CO 2 + 3H 2 O + 3 oxygen (3x1) multiply O 2 by 7 2 = 7 oxygen on right C 2 H 6 + O 2 2CO 2 + 3H 2 O 7 2 remove fraction multiply both sides by 2 2C 2 H 6 + 7O 2 4CO 2 + 6H 2 O

Balancing Chemical Equations 5.Check to make sure that you have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation C 2 H 6 + 7O 2 4CO 2 + 6H 2 O ReactantsProducts 4 C 12 H 14 O 4 C 12 H 14 O 4 C (2 x 2)4 C12 H (2 x 6)12 H (6 x 2) 14 O (7 x 2)14 O (4 x 2 + 6)

Remember 2 Mg + O 2 2 MgO IS NOT 2 grams Mg + 1 gram O 2 makes 2 g MgO 3.7 So How do we relate masses of reactants and products? That’s what we can observe!

Formula Weights

Formula Weight (FW) Sum of the average atomic weights for the atoms in a chemical formula So, the formula weight of calcium chloride, CaCl 2, would be Ca: 1(40.1 amu) + Cl: 2(35.5 amu) amu These are generally reported for ionic compounds

Molecular Weight (MW) Sum of the average atomic weights of the atoms in a molecule For the molecule ethane, C 2 H 6, the molecular weight would be C: 2(12.0 amu) + H: 6(1.0 amu) 30.0 amu

Percent Composition One can find the percentage of the mass of a compound that comes from each of the elements in the compound by using this equation: % element = (number of atoms)(atomic weight) (FW of the compound) x 100

Percent Composition So the percentage of carbon in ethane is… %C = (2)(12.0 amu) (30.0 amu) 24.0 amu 30.0 amu = x 100 = 80.0%

Moles

Using Moles Moles provide a bridge from the molecular scale to the real-world scale

Avogadro’s Number 6.02 x mole of 12 C has a mass of 12 g

The mole (mol) is the amount of a substance that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in exactly grams of 12 C mol = N A = x Avogadro’s number (N A )

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of in grams eggs shoes marbles atoms 1 mole 12 C atoms = x atoms = g 1 12 C atom = amu 1 mole 12 C atoms = g 12 C 1 mole lithium atoms = g of Li For any element atomic mass (amu) = molar mass (grams/mol) 3.2

Percent composition revisited n x molar mass of element molar mass of compound x 100% n is the subscript number … Assume one mole of substance and the math goes like this. C2H6OC2H6O %C = 2 x (12.01 g) g x 100% = 52.14%H = 6 x (1.008 g) g x 100% = 13.13%O = 1 x (16.00 g) g x 100% = 34.73% 52.14% % % = 100.0% 3.5

Question What is the mass on one atom of carbon 12? What is the mass in grams of one amu?

Mole Relationships One mole of atoms, ions, or molecules contains Avogadro’s number of those particles One mole of molecules or formula units contains Avogadro’s number times the number of atoms or ions of each element in the compound

Finding Empirical Formulas

Calculating Empirical Formulas One can calculate the empirical formula from the percent composition

Calculating Empirical Formulas These are the subscripts for the empirical formula: C 7 H 7 NO 2

Combustion Analysis Compounds containing C, H and O are routinely analyzed through combustion in a chamber like this –C is determined from the mass of CO 2 produced –H is determined from the mass of H 2 O produced –O is determined by difference after the C and H have been determined

Elemental Analyses Compounds containing other elements are analyzed using methods analogous to those used for C, H and O

Stoichiometric Calculations The coefficients in the balanced equation give the ratio of moles of reactants and products

Stoichiometric Calculations From the mass of Substance A you can use the ratio of the coefficients of A and B to calculate the mass of Substance B formed (if it’s a product) or used (if it’s a reactant)

Stoichiometric Calculations Starting with 1.00 g of C 6 H 12 O 6 … we calculate the moles of C 6 H 12 O 6 … use the coefficients to find the moles of H 2 O… and then turn the moles of water to grams C 6 H 12 O O 2  6 CO H 2 O

Limiting Reactants

How Many Cookies Can I Make? You can make cookies until you run out of one of the ingredients Once this family runs out of sugar, they will stop making cookies (at least any cookies you would want to eat)

How Many Cookies Can I Make? In this example the sugar would be the limiting reactant, because it will limit the amount of cookies you can make

Limiting Reactants The limiting reactant is the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric amount

Limiting Reactants The limiting reactant is the reactant present in the smallest stoichiometric amount –In other words, it’s the reactant you’ll run out of first (in this case, the H 2 )

Limiting Reactants In the example below, the O 2 would be the excess reagent

Do You Understand Limiting Reagents?

Theoretical Yield The theoretical yield is the amount of product that can be made –In other words it’s the amount of product possible as calculated through the stoichiometry problem This is different from the actual yield, the amount one actually produces and measures

Percent Yield A comparison of the amount actually obtained to the amount it was possible to make Actual Yield Theoretical Yield Percent Yield =x 100
