Conservation of mass & Balancing equations
3
Chemical Changes A Chemical change occurs when matter changes into a new and different form. For instance when an electric current is passed though liquid water, the water changes into two gasses which are highly flammable; hydrogen and oxygen.

5
During a chemical reaction, the atoms are neither created nor destroyed. All that really happens to the atoms is that they are rearranged. Water Hydrogen Oxygen 4 H’s and 2 O’s 4 H’s 2 O’s
6
The old substances whose bonds are broken are called reactants
The new substances that are formed as a result of the reaction are called products. (products are produced) Reactants Products
7
Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
the absorption or the release of heat and/or light, sound, electrical energy. exothermic reactions release energy (exo = out) endothermic reactions absorb heat (endo = in)
8
Reactions: Heat = energy
The brilliant white light associated with some fireworks is due to the release of energy when magnesium reacts with oxygen.
9
Equations
10
Equations are a way of representing chemical changes/reactions
Chemical Equations Equations are a way of representing chemical changes/reactions Chemical changes can be communicated in sentence form or as chemical equations. Word equations – use of words to DESCRIBE what happens Chemical (skeleton) equations – use to symbols to SHOW what happens
11
Chemical changes can be communicated in sentence form or as chemical equations.
In a chemical equation, the reactants are listed on the left side of an arrow symbol, and the products are listed on the right side. A chemical Equation
12
Chemical equations have four parts:
Chemical formulas Subscripts for the States of matter (s) solid (l) liquid (g) gas (aq) aqueous - dissolved in water Numerical coefficients indicates how many atoms/molecules are involved Reaction symbols the "+" sign on the reactants (left) side is read as "reacts with" the arrow ( ) is read as "to produce" the "+" sign on the products (right) side is read as "along with".

Chemical Equations can be translated into a sentence
Words to use for formulas when writing chemical equations as sentences Formula Word Ionic Formula Unit Molecular Molecule Metal Element Atom Nonmetal Element Let’s Try an Example Two molecules of diesel fuel reacts with 49 molecules of oxygen to produce 32 molecules of carbon dioxide along with 34 molecules of water.

The Law of Conservation of Mass
In a chemical reaction the mass of the reactants before a chemical reaction equals the mass of the products after the reaction is complete. mass of reactants = mass products In other words, the mass you end up with equals the mass you started with. Ex: Burning Paper is a reaction that obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass + Oxygen + 20 grams
19
the left hand Side = the right hand side
Balancing Equations Any representation of a chemical equation must reflect the Law of Conservation of Mass In order to write a chemical equation that obeys the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation. the left hand Side = the right hand side Ex:

Balancing Equations - Practice
Let’s have a look at this equation and try to balance it. Note: To balance equations we write Coefficients in front of each formula. ___ HgO (s) ___ Hg (l) + ___ O2 (g)
21
Rules for Balancing Equations
When you insert a coefficient, each subscript in the formula is Multiplied by the coefficient. Ex: The number of atoms of each element MUST be the same on the left and right sides. Practice, Practice, Practice
22
Let’s Try another ___ Fe (s) + ___ O2 (g) ___ Fe2O3 (s)
23
Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of cobalt with oxygen to produce cobalt (III) oxide
24
1. ___Mg(s) + ___O2(g) → ___MgO(s)
2. ___Cu(s) + ___AgNO3(aq) → ___Ag(s) + ___Cu(NO3)2 (aq) 3. ___KI(aq) + ___Pb(OH)2 (aq) → ___PbI2(s) + ___KOH (aq) 4. ___P4 (s) + ___F2 (g) → ___PF3 (l) 5. ___Cr2O3 (s) → ___Cr(s) + ___O2 (g)
