3
Sec. 8.1: “Describing Chemical Reactions” Chemical Reaction: the process by which one or more substances change to produce one or more different substances.
4
Chemical Change 2H 2 + O 2 2 H 2 O Reactants: a substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction Reactants are on the left side of the arrow. Reactants are used up in the reaction. Products: a substance that forms in a chemical reaction Products on the right side of the arrow. Products are made in the reaction.
5
Evidence of Chemical Change For proof of a chemical change, you need a chemical analysis to show that at least 1 new substance forms. The properties of the new substance must differ from those of the original substances.
6
Evidence of a Chemical Change
7
Chemical Reaction vs. Physical Change Chemical reaction: new substances are formed with different properties Example: 2 H 2 + O 2 2 H 2 O H 2 and O 2 are both gases at room temperature, but H 2 0 is a liquid.
8
Chemical Reaction vs. Physical Change Physical changes: The identity of the substance doesn’t change. All changes of state are PHYSICAL changes.** (evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing) Ice, liquid water, and steam are all still H 2 O. Examples: dissolving sugar in tea, crushing a rock, mixing paint colors
9
Reactions and Energy Changes Energy can be released in a chemical reaction. methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy CH 4 O 2 CO 2 H 2 O Energy is a product. This is an EXOTHERMIC reaction.
10
Reactions and Energy Changes Energy can be absorbed in a chemical reaction. dinitrogen tetroxide + energy nitrogen dioxide N 2 O 4 NO 2 Energy is a reactant. This is an ENDOTHERMIC reaction.
11
Constructing a Chemical Equation Chemical equation: a representation of a chemical reaction that uses symbols to show the relationship between the reactants and the products. Writing a chemical equation requires 3 steps: 1.Write a word equation 2.Write a formula equation 3.Balance the chemical equation
12
Writing a Word Equation 1.Write the names of the reactants, separated by a “+” sign. 2.Add an arrow pointing to the right 3.After the arrow, write the products, again separated by a “+” sign. Example: Methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water
13
Writing a Formula Equation Methane + oxygen carbon dioxide+ water Change the words in the equation to formulas: Methane: CH 4 Oxygen: O 2 Carbon dioxide: CO 2 Water: H 2 O ?CH 4 + ?O 2 ?CO 2 + ?H 2 O (The ? means we don’t know how many molecules of each reactant and product we have yet)
14
Balancing a Chemical Equation ?CH 4 + ?O 2 ?CO 2 + ?H 2 O The numbers of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the arrow! Balance each element one at a time… CH 4 + 2 O 2 CO 2 + 2 H 2 O (Section 8.2 is all about balancing chemical equations!)
15
Equations are Like Recipes Like a recipe, any instructions shown in a chemical equation can help a chemist be sure the reaction turns out the way it should. A balanced equation indicates the relative amounts of reactants and products in the reaction.
16
Equations sometimes show the physical states of the reactants and products NaHCO 3 (s) + HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) NaC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) solid aqueous solutions gas liquid (s) = solid (l) = liquid (g) = gas (aq) = aqueous solution (dissolved in water)
17
Equations sometimes show the reaction conditions 350˚C; 25,000 kPa N 2 (g) + 3 H 2 (g) 2 NH 3 (g) catalyst This reaction is know as the “Haber Process”. The double arrow means that reactions occur both in the forward and reverse direction and the final result is a mixture of all 3 substances. The reaction occurs at 350˚C and at a pressure of 25,000 kPa. A catalyst is used to speed up the reaction.
