2 Chemists use chemical equations to describe reactions they observe in the laboratory or in nature. Chemical equations provide us with the means to 1.summarize the reaction 2.display the substances that are reacting 3.show the products 4.indicate the amounts of all component substances in a reaction.
3
3 The Chemical Equation
4
4 Chemical reactions always involve change. Atoms, molecules or ions rearrange to form new substances. The substances entering the reaction are called reactants. The substances formed in the reaction are called products. During reactions chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
5
5 A chemical equation uses the chemical symbols and formulas of the reactants and products and other symbolic terms to represent a chemical reaction. A chemical equation is a shorthand expression for a chemical change or reaction.

27 Writing and Balancing Equations
28
28 To balance an equation, adjust the number of atoms of each element so that they are the same on each side of the equation. Golden Rule of Balancing: Balance with coefficients only! Do not mess with the subscripts!!!
29
29 Steps for Balancing Equations
30
30 Step 1 Identify the reaction. Write a description or word equation for the reaction. Mercury(II) oxide decomposes to form mercury and oxygen. mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen
31
31 HgO Hg + O 2 –The formulas of the reactants and products must be correct. –The reactants are written to the left of the arrow and the products to the right of the arrow. Step 2 Write the unbalanced (skeleton) equation. The formulas of the reactants and products can never be changed.
32
32 Step 3a Balance the equation. –Count and compare the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. –Determine the elements that require balancing.

42 What Information Does an Equation Tell Us?
43
43 The meaning of a formula is context dependent. The formula H 2 O can mean: 1.2 H and 1 O atom 2.1 molecule of water 3.1 mol of water 4.6.02 x 10 23 molecules of water 5.18.02 g of water
44
44 In an equation formulas can represent units of individual chemical entities or moles. H2H2 +Cl 2 2HCl→ 1 molecule H 2 1 molecule Cl 2 2 molecules HCl 1 mol H 2 1 mol Cl 2 2 mol HCl

89 Heat in Chemical Reactions
90
90 Energy changes always accompany chemical reactions. One reason why reactions occur is that the product attains a lower energy state than the reactants. When this occurs, energy is released to the surroundings.

92
92 H 2 (g) + Cl 2 (g) → 2HCl(g) + 185 kJ (exothermic) N 2 (g) + O 2 (g) + 185 kJ → 2NO(g) (exothermic) Exothermic reactions liberate heat. Endothermic reactions absorb heat. The amounts of substances are expressed in moles. 1 mol 2 mol 1 mol 2 mol

93 For life on Earth the sun is the major provider of energy. The energy for plant photosynthesis is derived from the sun. glucose 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + 2519 kJ → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2
94
94 Energy of Activation
95
95 A certain amount of energy is always required for a reaction to occur. The energy required to start a reaction is called the energy of activation.
96
96 This reaction will not occur unless activation energy is supplied. The activation energy can take the form of a spark or a flame. 6CH 4 + 2O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O + 890 kJ
