4. Today’s Agenda  Catalyst  Balancing Equations Day 1  Practice  Exit Question

5. Today’s Objectives  SWBAT apply law of conservation of mass to chemical reactions by balancing chemical equations.

6. Whiteboard Practice  How many total atoms of each element are in these compounds? AlCl 3 : Al = ? Cl = ? H 2 O: H = ? O = ? H 2 O 2 : H = ? O = ? KCl: K = ? Cl = ? Be 3 S 2 : Be = ? S = ? NH 4 NO 3 : N = ? H = ? O = ?

7. Balancing equations RULES!  Key Point #1: When balancing equations, never, Never, NEVER change subscripts, only coefficients!

8.  What is a coefficient? GOOD QUESTION!

9. Coefficient  A coefficient is a whole number that comes in front of the compound formula, never in the middle!  You multiply the coefficient to all the numbers in the compound 2 AlCl 3

10. Do you get it?  3 AlCl 3  How many atoms of each element do they have?  3 Aluminum atoms  9 Chlorine atoms

11. How many of each atom do we have now? 7 AlCl 3 4 H 2 O 6 H 2 O 2 5 KCl 2 Be 3 S 2 4 (NH 4 )NO 3

12. Why is the top equation wrong? You figure it out (5 min)  We never want to leave an equation written like this…  H 2 + O 2  H 2 O  We want to have it like this…  2 H 2 + O 2  2 H 2 O  WHY???

13. L-C-M!!!  Key Point #2: Chemical reactions MUST follow the Law of Conservation of Matter. What is the LCM?  Matter cannot be created or destroyed.  If 3 carbons are in the reactants of a reaction, then there darn well better be 3 carbons in the products of a reaction.

14. Balancing Chemical Reactions H 2 + O 2  H 2 O __H__ __O__ Write down elements.

15. Balancing Chemical Reactions H 2 + O 2  H 2 O __H__ __O__ How many are there?

16. Balancing Chemical Reactions H 2 + O 2  H 2 O _2_H_2_ __O__ How many are there?

17. Balancing Chemical Reactions H 2 + O 2  H 2 O _2_H_2_ _2_O_1_ How many are there?

18. Balancing Chemical Reactions Try These: N 2 + H 2  NH 3 P 4 O 10 + H 2 O  H 3 PO 4 Ca 3 P 2 + H 2 O  Ca(OH) 2 + PH 3

19. Balancing Chemical Reactions Try These: N 2 + 3H 2  2NH 3 P 4 O 10 + H 2 O  H 3 PO 4 Ca 3 P 2 + H 2 O  Ca(OH) 2 + PH 3

20. Balancing Chemical Reactions Try These: N 2 + 3H 2  2NH 3 P 4 O 10 + 6H 2 O  4H 3 PO 4 Ca 3 P 2 + H 2 O  Ca(OH) 2 + PH 3

21. Balancing Chemical Reactions Try These: N 2 + 3 H 2  2NH 3 P 4 O 10 + 6H 2 O  4H 3 PO 4 Ca 3 P 2 + 6H 2 O  3Ca(OH) 2 + 2PH 3

22. Independent Practice Worksheet!

23. Balancing with Polyatomic Ions  What if you have some polyatomic ions?  WHAT will you do??  Key Point #3: When balancing equations that involve polyatomic ions, keep them together!

24. Work it out…  H 3 PO 4 + ____ KOH  ____ K 3 PO 4 + ____ H 2 O  Which polyatomics are we using?  PO 4 – phosphate  OH – hydroxide  Where is the OH on the other side?  It’s OK – rewrite H 2 O as HOH – Trust me!

25. Your turn 1. HCl + NaOH  NaCl + H 2 O 2. NaOH + H 2 CO 3  Na 2 CO 3 + H 2 O 3. Al(OH) 3 + H 2 CO 3  Al 2 (CO 3 ) 3 + H 2 O

26. Balancing with diatomics…  Key Point #4: Sometimes with diatomics, you must be a little tricky.  C 4 H 10 + O 2  CO 2 + H 2 O

27. Diatomics  If you reach the point in a balance problem where everything is balanced except the diatomic atom...  You can only get even numbers with diatomics…  2 O 2 = 4 O atoms  3 O 2 = 6 O atoms  And sometimes the other side is odd  Use a fraction, then multiply by 2

28. Example: Work it out… C 4 H 10 + O 2  CO 2 + H 2 O

29. Your Turn… 1. C 6 H 6 + O 2  CO 2 + H 2 O 2. C 10 H 22 + O 2  CO 2 + H 2 O

30. Exit Question  Balance the following equations: 1. KClO 3 ---> KCl + O 2 2. S 8 + O 2 ---> SO 3
