Describing Chemical Reactions

Objectives     List three observations that suggest that a chemical reaction has taken place.

List three requirements for a correctly written chemical equation.

Write a word equation and a formula equation for a given reaction.

Balance a formula equation by inspection.

Chemical Reactions  when a substance changes identity  reactants- original  products- resulting  law of conservation of mass  total mass of reactants = total mass of products

Chemical Reactions  chemical equation   represents identities and relative amounts of reactants and products in the chemical reaction uses symbols and formulas

Hints of Chemical Rxn  heat or light  can also happen with physical changes  gas bubbles  means a gas is being created as product  precipitate  solid is being created  color change

Writing Chemical Equations   most pure elements  written as elemental symbol diatomic molecules     molecule containing only 2 atoms some elements normally exist this way H 2 , O 2 , N 2 , F 2 , Cl 2 , Br 2 , I 2 other exceptions • sulfur: S 8 • phosphorus: P 4

Word Equations  uses names instead of formulas  helps you to write formula equation

Example  Description: Solid sodium oxide is added to water at room temperature and forms sodium hydroxide.

 Word Equation: sodium oxide + water  sodium hydroxide  Formula Equation: Na 2 O + H 2 O  NaOH

Symbols Used in Equations yields reversible above arrow: or heat MnO 2 25°C or Pt 2 atm heated catalyst specific T requirement specific P requirement after a formula: (s) solid (l) (aq) (g) liquid aqueous: dissolved in gas water

Balancing Equations ONLY add/change coefficients NEVER subscripts!!!

balance one type of atom at a time balance polyatomic ions first balance atoms that appear only once second balance H and O last simplify if you can Check at end!

 Rules for writing and balancing equations – Pg. 327 in text.

    Writing Equations Write Word equations to help you organize reactants and products Be sure to include symbols showing states of each reactant and product Be sure to write the correct formula for each (crossing over for ionic compounds!) Check your balancing of the equation when you are finished

2. Decomposition  opposite of synthesis  usually require energy  reactants: only one compound  products: more than one  usually elements but can be compounds AX  A + X

2. Decomposition  water  H 2 O (l)  calcium carbonate H 2 (g) + O 2 (g)  CaCO 3 (s)  CaO calcium hydroxide (s) + CO 2 (g)  Ca(OH) 2 (s) carbonic acid  H 2 CO 3 (aq)  CaO (s) CO 2 (g) + H 2 O + H 2 O (l) (l)

3. Single Replacement  an element replaces a similar element in a compound  reactants: 1 element & 1 compound  products: 1 element & 1 compound A + BX  Y + AX  B + AX X + AY

3. Single Replacement  zinc and hydrochloric acid  Zn (s) + HCl iron and water (aq)  ZnCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g)  Fe (s) + H 2 O (l)  FeO (aq) + H 2 (g) magnesium and lead (II) nitrate  Mg (s) + Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq)  Mg(NO 3 ) 3 (aq) + Pb chlorine and potassium bromide Cl 2 (g) + KBr (s)  KCl (s) + Br 2 (g) (s)

4. Double Replacement  two similar elements switch places  reactants: 2 compounds  products: 2 compounds AX + BY  BX + AY

4. Double Replacement     barium chloride and sodium sulfate BaCl 2 (aq) + Na 2 SO 4 (aq)  NaCl (aq) + BaSO 4 (s) iron sulfide and hydrochloric acid FeS (aq) + HCl (aq)  FeCl 2 (aq) + H 2 S (g) hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq)  NaCl (aq) + H 2 O (l) potassium iodide and lead (II) nitrate KI (aq) + Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq)  KNO 3 (aq) + PbI 2 (s)

Activity Series

Activity Series Pg. 333  Activity  ability of an element to react  easier it reacts, higher the activity  activity series   list of elements organized according to activities from highest to lowest

Activity Series  metals   greater activity, easier to lose electrons easier to become a cation  nonmetals  greater activity, easier to gain electrons  easier to become an anion

Activity Series  used to predict whether single replacement reactions will occur  most active is on top  an element can replace anything below it but not any above it

Practice  zinc and hydrofluoric acid   Zn (s) + HCl (aq)  ZnCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g) calcium and lead (II) nitrate   Ca (s) + Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq)  Ca(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + Pb copper and lithium sulfate (s)   Cu (s) + Li 2 SO 4 (aq)  no reaction bromine and iron (II) chloride  Br 2 (l) + FeCl 2 (aq)  no reaction
