1
Chemical Change Reactants Products What happens to bonds in a chemical reaction? Broken, form new bonds
2
Some examples: Word equations Iron + Oxygen iron (III) oxide (word equation for the rusting of iron) Hydrogen peroxide water + oxygen (what happens when you pour this on an open cut? Bubbles of oxygen gas rapidly appear)
3
Methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water (major component of natural gas)
4
Chemical Equations Fe(s) + O 2 (g) Fe 2 O 3 (s) (rusting of iron) Symbols are used to represent states
5
Chemical Equations H 2 O 2 (aq) MnO2 H 2 O(l) + O 2 (g) Catalyst: a substance that speeds up the rate of a reaction but that is not used up in the reaction. It is neither a reactant nor a product. It is written above the arrow in an equation because it is not part of the reaction.
6
Symbols used in chemical equations (see Table)
7
Review: Write a skeleton outline for the following chemical reaction (include appropriate symbols): -solid sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce the aqueous sodium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide gas. NaHCO 3 (s) + HCl(aq) NaCl(aq) + H 2 O(l) +CO 2 (g)
8
Review: sulfur burns in oxygen to form sulfur dioxide S(s) + O 2 (g) SO 2 (g)
9
Balancing Chemical Equations Use an example of building a bicycle 4 components: frames, wheels, handlebars, and pedals Frame + wheel + handlebar + pedal bicycle (reactants) (product) (why is this word equation inadequate?) F + W + H + P FW 2 HP 2 (this is called an unbalanced equation, in order to balance, the amount of reactants must equal the amount of products)
10
Balancing Chemical Equations coefficient: a small whole number that appears in front of a formula in a balanced chemical equation F + 2W + H + 2P FW 2 HP 2 Balancing a chemical equation is necessary so that it obeys the law of conservation of mass. balanced equation: each side of the equation has the same number of atoms of each element
11
Let’s try a few: H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) H 2 O(l) how would you balance this equation?
12
“Rules for Balancing Equations” count the number of each atom: hydrogen is balanced but oxygen is not put a coefficient of 2 in front of H 2 O, the oxygen is balanced but there are twice as many hydrogen atoms in the product as there are in the reactants to correct this, put a coefficient of 2 in front of H 2 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2H 2 O(l)
13
Review: Balance the following equations: AgNO 3 + H 2 S Ag 2 S + HNO 3 2AgNO 3 + H 2 S Ag 2 S + 2HNO 3 MnO 2 + HCl MnCl 2 + H 2 O +Cl 2 MnO 2 + 4HCl MnCl 2 + 2H 2 O + Cl 2
