CHEMICAL REACTIONS – Ch 7 Notes Reactants: Zn + I 2 Product: Zn I 2
2
–Chemical reactions occur when _______ between atoms are _______ or ________ –Chemical reactions involve ________ in matter, the making of _____ materials with ______ properties, and _______ changes. –Chemical reactions are written in symbolic form. –How can you tell a chemical reaction is happening?Introduction
3
Energy is in the bonds! ___________ rxns – bonds _______ and energy is ________ ___________ rxns – bonds ______ and energy is ________
4
–______________ –______________ (molecules on left of arrow) –______________ –______________ (molecules on right of arrow). –“ + ” sign separates molecules on same side – “ ” is read as “____________” – Ex: carbon plus oxygen react to yield carbon dioxide C + O 2 CO 2 Parts of a Reaction Equation
5
Other symbols ____________ - numbers in front____________ - numbers in front –Show relative amounts of reactants & products –Shows the “__________” 4 Al (s) + 3 O 2 (g) ---> 2 Al 2 O 3 (s) Letters (s), (g), and (l) are the ___________ states of compounds.Letters (s), (g), and (l) are the ___________ states of compounds.
6
Because of the principle of the ______________ __ _____, an equation must be _________. It must have the same number of ______ of the same kind on _____ sides. Lavoisier, 1788 Chemical Equations
7
___ –When balancing a chemical reaction you may add coefficients in front of the compounds to balance the reaction, but you may ___ change the subscripts. Changing the subscripts changes the compound. Subscripts are determined by the valence electrons (charges for ionic or sharing for covalent) Balancing Equations
8
Subscripts vs. Coefficients Why is it important NOT to change the subscripts when balancing reactions?
9
1. DO NOT CHANGE THE _________________! 2. Always start on the ___________. 3. Compare the number of _____ for each element on either side of the reaction 4. Add or change ________________ to balance. 5. Every time you make a change, go back to the _______________. 6. If polyatomic ions are present on both sides, treat them as one unit. 7. Check your answer. Steps to Balancing Equations
10
Balancing Equations ___ H 2 (g) + ___ O 2 (g) ---> ___ H 2 O(l) What Happened to the Other Oxygen Atom????? This equation is not balanced! What coefficients need to be added to balance this equation?
11
___ Al(s) + ___ Br 2 (l) ---> ___ Al 2 Br 6 (s)
12
Balancing Equations ____C 3 H 8 (g) + _____ O 2 (g) ----> _____CO 2 (g) + _____ H 2 O(g) ____B 4 H 10 (g) + _____ O 2 (g) ----> ___ B 2 O 3 (g) + _____ H 2 O(g)
13
Balancing Equations Sodium phosphate + iron (III) oxide sodium oxide + iron (III) phosphate Na 3 PO 4 + Fe 2 O 3 ----> Na 2 O + FePO 4 Na 3 PO 4 + Fe 2 O 3 ----> Na 2 O + FePO 4
14
Now Try These: a)P 4 + O 2 P 4 O 10 b)Li + H 2 O H 2 + LiOH c)Bi(NO 3 ) 3 + K 2 S Bi 2 S 3 + KNO 3 d)C 2 H 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O Mg + O 2 MgO 2Mg + O 2 2MgO Mg + ½O 2 MgO Mg 2 + O 2 2MgO 4Mg + 2O 2 4MgO Which Is Balanced?
