Principles of Chemistry and Physics
2
Chemical Reactions When one or more substances (reactants) are changed into one or more new substances (products), a CHEMICAL REACTION has occurred and can be represented as a chemical equation Reactants products
3
Chemical Equations Replaces words with chemical formulas skeleton equations- does not indicate the relative amounts of reactants and products Here is the skeleton equation for rusting: Fe + O 2 Fe 2 O 3
4
Evidence a reaction has occurred: Color change Gas released Precipitate formed Temperature change (endo or exothermic) Odor produced Smoke Light Flames pH change Flammable to nonflammable or vice versa
5
Types of Reactions There are five types of chemical reactions: 1. Synthesis reactions 2. Decomposition reactions 3. Single displacement reactions 4. Double displacement reactions 5. Combustion reactions Unit objective: identify the type of reaction and predict the product(s).
6
1. Synthesis reactions Synthesis reactions occur when two substances (generally elements) combine to form a compound. reactant + reactant 1 product Basically: A + B AB Example: 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O Example: C + O 2 CO 2
7
Synthesis Reactions Another example of synthesis:
8
2. Decomposition Reactions Decomposition reactions occur when a compound breaks up into the elements or into a few simpler compounds 1 Reactant Product + Product In general: AB A + B Example: 2 H 2 O 2H 2 + O 2 Example: 2 HgO 2Hg + O 2
9
Decomposition Reactions Another view of a decomposition reaction:
10
Decomposition Reaction AB A + B
11
3. Single Replacement Reactions Single Replacement Reactions occur when one element replaces another in a compound. A metal can replace a metal (+) OR a nonmetal can replace a nonmetal (-). element + compound element + compound A + BC AC + B (if A is a metal) OR A + BC BA + C (if A is a nonmetal) (remember the cation always goes first!) When H 2 O splits into ions, it splits into H + and OH - (not H+ and O -2 !!)
12
Single Replacement Reactions Another view:
13
Single Replacement Example Example: Zn + CuCl 2 Zn Cl Cu + General: AB + C AC + B Cl Zn Cu + LIKE replaces LIKE
14
Activity Series lists metals in order of decreasing reactivity. As a general rule, more reactive metals replace less reactive metals in a compound Li K Ba Ca Na Mg Al Zn Fe Cd Ni Sn Pb H Cu Hg Ag Au Li K Ba Ca Na Mg Al Zn Fe Cd Ni Sn Pb H Cu Hg Ag Au
15
4. Double Replacement Reactions Double Replacement Reactions occur when a metal replaces a metal in a compound and a nonmetal replaces a nonmetal in a compound Compound + compound compound+ compound AB + CD AD + CB
16
Decomposition reactions cont.. Solubility rules- The formation of a precipitate is a driving force of a double replacement reaction
17
5. Combustion Reactions Combustion reactions occur when a fuel reacts with oxygen gas, which produces heat! Fuel + O 2 (+ Heat) Product
18
Hydrocarbon Combustion Reactions Hydrocarbon Combustion: C x H y + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O Products in combustion are ALWAYS carbon dioxide and water. (although incomplete burning does cause some by- products like carbon monoxide) Combustion is used to heat homes (CH 4 )and run automobiles (octane: C 8 H 18 )
19
Carbon Monoxide Effects Edgar Allen Poe’s drooping eyes and mouth are potential signs of CO poisoning.
20
Exothermic process – a process that results in the evolution of heat- energy flows out of the system Endothermic process- a process that absorbs energy from the surroundings- energy flows into the system
21
Exothermic or endothermic? 1. Your hand gets cold when you touch ice 2. ice melts when you touch it 3. Ice cream melts 4. Propane is burning in a propane torch. 5. Water drops on your skin evaporate after swimming 6. Two chemicals mixing in a beaker give off heat
22
Exothermic Endothermic Exothermic Endthermic exothermic
23
Writing Chemical Equations Word Equations Names of reactants on the left of an arrow separated by plus signs Names of products to the right of the arrow separated by plus signs Ex: flour + water + yeast + salt bread - Ex: carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide
24
Diatomic Elements Some elements exist naturally in pairs, as diatomic molecules. You will be expected to memorize these: Br 2, I 2, N 2, Cl 2, H 2, O 2, F 2.
25
Law of Conservation of Mass Mass is never created or destroyed-ALL must be conserved and accounted for during a chemical reaction The same number of atoms of reactant elements must equal the atoms of product elements
26
Rules for balancing equations: Write correct skeleton formula Determine number of atoms of each element of reactants and products. COUNT POLYATOMIC ION AS A SINGLE UNIT if it appears unchanged on both sides of the equation Balance elements one at a time by using coefficients-never change subscripts Begin with the easiest elements first Check both sides to see if they match Make sure coefficients are in the lowest possible ratio
27
Counting with Moles Chemists use the unit mole to measure the amounts of small particles 1 mole = 6.02 x 10 23 particles (atoms, molecules) 6.02 x 10 23 is known as Avogadro’s number
29
The molar mass of any two elements contain the same number of atoms Ex: a dozen apples – 12 apples a dozen oranges – 12 oranges
30
Molar mass Molar mass is the amount of one mole of that element or compound (use the periodic table) Once you know the molar mass of the compound, you can convert moles of that substance into moles
31
Molar Mass Ex: the molar mass of one mole of CO2 is 44 g this means that 44 g CO21 mole 1 mole44 g CO2 So, if I have 55 g of CO2, how many moles do I have?
