Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Chemical formula for water H20H20 Subscript Indicates the number of atoms of the element to the left. If there is no number, there is only 1 atom. 2 Hydrogen atoms 1 Oxygen atom

Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Chemical formula for water 3H20 3H20 Coefficient Indicates how many molecules are present 3 molecules of water
5
Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Chemical formula for water 3H20 3H20 Coefficient The coefficient multiplied by the subscript is the number of atoms per element. 6 atoms of hydrogen 3 atoms of oxygen

Matter is neither lost or gained during a chemical reaction. It is rearranged. 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O + The chemical equation is balanced. O OH H H H O HH O HH Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? The Law of Conservation of Mass

Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? How to calculate if a chemical equation is balanced. 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O 1.) Take an element inventory for each side of the equation. 2.) Calculate the number of atoms for each element. 3.) If the numbers match, then it is balanced. ReactantsProducts H - 4 O - 2

Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Synthesis or Combination Reactions A reaction where two or more reactants (elements or compounds) react to form only a single product. Examples of this type of reaction: metal + oxygen metal oxide 4 Na + O 2 2 Na 2 O nonmetal + oxygen nonmetal oxide C + O 2 CO 2

Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Decomposition Reactions A reaction where a single compound undergoes a reaction to form two or more products. Some examples: 2 H 2 O + direct electric current 2 H 2 + O 2 C 12 H 22 O 11 sugar + heat 12 C + 11 H 2 O Caramelized sugar is brown due to the carbon that is present. 2 NaHCO 3 + heat Na 2 CO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O Sodium bicarbonate can be used to extinguish fires because the heat from the fire liberates CO 2 which then smothers the flames. This is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Single Replacement Reaction A reaction where one element reacts with a compound and replaces another element in that compound. An example of this type of reaction is... Fe + CuSO 4 FeSO 4 + Cu If you immerse an iron nail in a copper sulfate solution, it will come out coated with copper metal.
11
Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Double Replacement Reaction A reaction where two positive ions exchange partners. Usually involve the formation of a precipitate(the most common examples) or a gas as one of the products. Examples of this type of reaction include the following... AgNO 3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO 3 CaCO 3 + 2 HBr CaBr 2 + CO 2 + H 2 O The arrow pointing down means that a precipitate is formed. The arrow pointing up means that a gas is formed.

Topic: Chemical Formulas Essential Question: What is the law of conservation of mass, and how does it apply to chemical equations? Combustion Reactions Always involve molecular oxygen O 2. Anytime anything burns (in the usual sense), it is a combustion reaction. Combustion reactions are almost always exothermic (i.e., they give off heat). For example when wood burns, it must do so in the presence of O2 and a lot of heat is produced:
