Introduction to Chemical Reactions What is a chemical reaction? Video Focus Questions: The video shows the chemical reaction of iron and oxygen: 4 Fe (s) + 3 O 2 (g)  2 Fe 2 O 3 (s) 1. 1.What was the difference between the two reactions? Why was there a difference? Answer: The second reaction created more light/heat energy because there was more oxygen available.

Introduction to Chemical Reactions What is a chemical reaction? A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances change into one or more new substances. The chemical properties and physical properties of the new substances are different from those of the original substances. In a chemical reaction, the original substances, which can be elements or compounds, are known as reactants. The substances created are called products.

3. What is a chemical equation? (answer on pp. 263) A chemical equation shows the chemical formulas and relative amounts of all the reactants and products that are part of a certain chemical reaction. sodium hydrogen bicarbonate + acetic acid  sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water NaHCO 3 (s) + HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq)  NaC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (l) Reactants Products

Balanced Chemical Equations A chemical equation is “balanced” when there are the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the arrow. NaHCO 3 (s) + HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq)  NaC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (l) Is it balanced? ReactantsProducts Na = 1 H = 5 C = 3 O = 5
