Ch. 7 & 8 Notes -- Chemical Reactions Chemical equations give information in two major areas: 1. _____________ and ______________ of the reaction. 2. Coefficients of a balanced chemical equation tell us the ______ of the substances involved. Example of a Balanced Chemical Equation: 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2H 2 O (g) Review: Reactants are on the ______ side of the arrow, and the products are on the __________ side. The arrow means “________”, or “reacts to produce” when read aloud. From our example, hydrogen reacts with oxygen in a ___:___ ratio. The coefficients represent either the number of _________ or molecules present. The coefficients can also represent _________ if the substances are gases. (1 mole = 6.02 x molecules, 1 mole of gas= 22.4 Liters) Reactantsproducts amount left yieldsright 2 1 moles liters
Common Symbols used in Chemical Equations (See Table 8.1) + = used to separate 2 reactants or 2 products from each other → = “yields” or “reacts to produce” = _____________ reaction (like a rechargeable battery) (s) (l) (g) (aq) = phase of matter: (solid, liquid, gas, or “aqueous”) = ___________ supplied to the reaction MnO 2 = a catalyst, (in this case, MnO 2 ), is used to ________ ____ the reaction. = _______ given off as a product = ______ precipitate produced reversible heat speed up gas solid

Balancing Chemical Equations Why do you have to balance a chemical equation? Law of Conservation of Matter (or Mass): “Matter is neither ____________ nor _______________ in chemical reactions.” During a chemical reaction, atoms are either _________, ______________, or rearranged. The _____________ and type of each atom stays the same. How do you balance a chemical equation? __________________ are placed in front of the substances involved in the chemical reaction to get the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. This number will multiply the number of atoms there are in a formula. createddestroyed joined separatednumber Coefficients
Rules for Balancing Chemical Equations (1) Coefficients can only be placed ___ _________ of a chemical formula. Practice Problems: How many atoms of each type are indicated in the following compounds?
