Chapter 10: Chemical Reactions

Recall… A chemical bond is a force of attraction that holds two atoms together ◦ Involves valence electrons Three types of bonds: ◦ Metallic (metal + metal) ◦ Ionic (metal + nonmetal)  transfer electrons ◦ Covalent (nonmetal + nonmetal)  share electrons

Recall… Ionic Bonds - Between oppositely charged ions. Transfer of electrons Between metals and non-metals Example - Sodium Chloride (NaCl)Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Cl Na 1- 1+

Recall… Covalent Bond Two non-metals share electrons Example – Water (H 2 O)Water (H 2 O) OHH

Recall… Metallic Bond Between positively charged metal ions and the electrons in a metal Many properties of metals, such as conductivity, ductility, and malleability, result from the freely moving electrons in the metal Notice how the electrons do not just stay with one ion Al

Physical v. Chemical Changes Physical Changes ◦ Change in shape, size, color, or state(phase change) ◦ Change without a change in chemical composition Chemical Changes ◦ a substance becomes another substance having different properties

A. Chemical Reactions The process by which a chemical change occurs and different substances are formed Atoms are rearranged, and chemical bonds are broken and reformed O2O2 H2H2

B. Indicators of a Chemical Reaction Temperature change Light is produced Explosion occurred Precipitate (solid) formed Color change New odor formed Gas formed

C. Chemical Equations Shorthand form for writing what reactants are used and what products are formed in a chemical reaction A + B C + D ReactantsProducts

C. Chemical Equations Cont.  produces, forms, decomposes, yields +plus, and (s)solid (l)liquid (g)gas (aq)aqueous (solid dissolved in water)

D. Components of a Chemical Equation 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O  Chemical Formulas Chemical Formula Subscripts Subscript Chemical formulas used to identify the substances involved in the reaction. Subscripts tell how many of each atom.

E. Describing Equations Describing Coefficients: ◦ Individual atom = “atom” ◦ Covalent compound = “molecule” ◦ Ionic compound = “unit” Examples: –3CO 2 = 3 molecules of carbon dioxide –2Mg = 2 atoms of magnesium –4MgO = 4 units of magnesium oxide

Practice: Writing Skeletal Equations Two atoms of aluminum react with three units of aqueous copper (II) chloride to produce three atoms of copper and two units of aqueous aluminum chloride. 2Al(s) + 3CuCl 2 (aq)  3Cu(s) + 2AlCl 3 (aq)

Practice: Writing Skeletal Reactions 4 NH O 2 4 NO + 6 H 2 O Four molecules of ammonia react with five molecules of oxygen to produce four molecules nitrogen monoxide and six molecules of water

F. Law of Conservation of Mass Mass is neither created or destroyed in a chemical reaction The total mass and number of atoms has to stay the same Basis for balancing equations 4 H 2 O 4 H 2 O 2 H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O

G. Balancing Equations Same numbers of each type of atom on each side of the equation Al + S  Al 2 S 3 Not Balanced 2Al + 3S  Al 2 S 3 Balanced

H. Steps For Balancing Equations 1. Write the unbalanced equation 2. Count atoms on each side 3. Add coefficients to make numbers of atoms equal on both sides Subscript × coefficient=number of atoms (2H 2 O = 4 H) 4. Reduce coefficients to lowest possible ratio, if needed 5. Double check atom count to ensure it’s balanced

I. Hints For Balancing Equations Balance in the following order 1.Polyatomic ions (keep as a single unit if they appear on both sides) 2.Metals 3.Nonmetals 4.Hydrogen 5. Oxygen Tutorial on Balancing Equations
