S2 Chemistry Equations
2
Word Equations Learning Intention We are learning to write word equations
3
Word Equations All chemical reactions can be described using a word equation eg reactants products (what you start with) (what you end up with)
4
Word Equations eg magnesium + oxygen magnesium oxide
5
Word Equations Write a word equation for the following reaction
6
Word Equations Write a word equation for the following reaction
Carbon dioxide is formed when carbon burns in oxygen.
7
Word Equations Write a word equation for the following reaction
Carbon dioxide is formed when carbon burns in oxygen. carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide
8
Formula Equations Learning Intention We are learning to write formula equations
9
Formula Equations Instead of using words, the formula for the reactants and products can be used instead. This is called a formula equation. carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide
10
Formula Equations Instead of using words, the formula for the reactants and products can be used instead. This is called a formula equation. carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide C O2 CO2
11
Formula Equations Eg hydrogen + oxygen hydrogen oxide
12
Formula Equations Eg hydrogen + oxygen hydrogen oxide H2 + O2 H2O
13
Diatomic Elements Certain elements always go around in pairs. These are the diatomic elements.
14
Diatomic Elements Certain elements always go around in pairs. These are the diatomic elements. H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
15
Diatomic Elements Certain elements always go around in pairs. These are the diatomic elements. H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2 In formula equations they must always be written as pairs.
16
Balancing Equations A balanced equation is when the number of each element on the product side equals the number of each element on the reactant side.
17
Balancing Equations Eg C O2 CO2 This is balanced.
18
Balancing Equations Eg H2 + O2 H2O
19
Balancing Equations Eg H2 + O2 H2O This is not balanced.
20
carbon + chlorine C + Cl2 CCl4
