What are the rules for counting atoms?
Essential question What are the rules for counting atoms?
3
What is a subscript? SUBSCRIPTS indicate the number of atoms that an element has. They are found BEHIND that element.
4
There are TWO atoms of hydrogen and only ONE atom of sulfur.
For example… H2S Subscript There are TWO atoms of hydrogen and only ONE atom of sulfur.
5
Note If there is no subscript behind an element, there is only ONE atom of that element!
6
What are Coefficients? COEFFICIENTS multiply the entire compound.
They are found at the front of the compound
7
For example 2 HF Coefficient Atoms of hydrogen= 2 Atoms of fluorine= 2
8
What if you have subscripts and coefficients in a compound?
You MULTIPLY the coefficients and subscripts.
9
For example 2 H2S Coefficient Atoms of Hydrogen= 4 Atoms of Sulfur= 2
10
How do you count atoms in Parentheses?
If elements are inside of PARENTHESES, the SUBSCRIPT behind the parentheses applies ONLY to the elements inside.
11
For example Ba(OH)2 Atoms of barium: 1 Atoms of oxygen: 2
Atoms of hydrogen: 2
12
Let’s Practice together!
1) MgCl2 Atoms of Mg: Atoms of Cl: 1 2 2) 2Na(OH) Atoms of Na: Atoms of O: Atoms of H: 2 2 2
13
On your own K2(SO4) Atoms of K: Atoms of S: Atoms of O: 2 1 4
14
With a partner Practice!
3CH3OH Atoms of C: Atoms of H: Atoms of O: 3 10 1
15
Exit Ticket??? 2Ca3(PO4)2 Atoms of Ca: Atoms of P: Atoms of O: 6 4 16
16
What is a Chemical reaction?
A process whereby one or more substances are changed into one or more products
17
These are the original substances before the reaction occurs
What are reactants? These are the original substances before the reaction occurs
18
These are the resulting substances after the reaction has occurred
What are products? These are the resulting substances after the reaction has occurred
19
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
The total mass of the reactants must be equal to the mass of the products for any chemical reaction **This is the reason why we count atoms
20
Why do we count atoms? Mass is neither created or destroyed
The law of conservation of mass must be satisfied for all chemical equations and reactions Mass is neither created or destroyed The same number of atoms of each element must appear on each side of a chemical equation
21
How are chemical reactions represented?
Chemical reactions are represented with chemical equations
22
What do symbols in Chemical Equations mean?
23
How do we know a chemical reaction occurred?
Heat and light are produced Gas produced Color change Precipitate (s) formed
24
How do you balance a chemical equation?
Step 1: Work in pencil!
25
How do you balance a chemical equation?
Step 2: List the elements present on the reactant side and the product side
26
How do you balance a chemical equation?
Step 3: Count the number of atoms for each element on each side
27
How do you balance a chemical equation?
Step 4: Add a COEFFICIENT ONLY to the compounds that will make the number of atoms equal on both sides
28
Important!!! The Coefficient must ALWAYS go to the front of the compound Subscripts cannot be changed
29
Let’s try together ___N2 + ___H2 ___NH2
Balance the following ___N2 + ___H2 ___NH2 ___Al + ___FeN2 ___AlN + ___Fe ___AgNO3 + ___Cu ___Cu(NO3)2 + ___Ag

What are the five types of Chemical reactions?
The five types are: Synthesis Decomposition Single Replacement Double Replacement Combustion
32
What is a Synthesis reaction?
Two or more substances come together to form a new compound General equation: A + X AX Ex. S + O2 SO2
33
Celebrity Synthesis reaction (Marriage)
Beyonce +Jay-Z ✚
34
What is a Decomposition reaction?
A single compound is broken down into simpler substances General equation: AX A + X Ex. 2H2O2 2H2O + O2
35
Celebrity Decomposition (Divorce)
Mariah Carey + Nick Cannon ✚
36
What is a Single Replacement reaction?
One element replaces another element in a compound General equation: A + BX AX + B Ex. Mg + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2
37
Celebrity Single Replacement reactions
Brad and Jennifer w/ Angelina ✚
38
What is a Double Replacement reaction?
Two compounds exchange elements to form two new compounds General equation AX + BY AY + BX Ex. FeS + 2HCl FeCl2 + H2S
39
Celebrity Double Replacement?
40
What is a Combustion reaction?
A hydrocarbon combines with O2 to produce CO2 and H2O General equation: CH + O2 CO2 + H2O Ex. C3H8 + 5O2 3CO2 + 4H2O
41
Celebrity Combustion Chris Brown and Rihanna
42
How do we know what state of matter a compound is?
Look at your Solubility Chart!
43
What does soluble mean? Can be dissolved
44
What does Aqueous(aq)mean?
Dissolved in water
45
What does insoluble mean?
Cannot be dissolved
46
What does precipitate mean?
A solid has been formed
47
If the products produced are (aq) + (aq), what is formed?
A solution No chemical reaction has occurred
48
If one of the products is a precipitate (s)
A chemical reaction will happen
49
What must be produced for a chemical reaction to occur?
A precipitate (a solid)
50
Solubility practice Identify the following as Solid (s) or Aqueous(aq)
NaCl Cu(NO3)2 CaCO3 Fe2S3
