WS – Defining and Differentiating Chemical, Physical and Nuclear Changes
What is a Chemical Reaction? Chemical Reactions involve change, but what kind of change?
PHYSICAL CHANGE
Is a change of state (gas, liquid or solid) or appearance without (s) (l) changing the formula
NUCLEAR CHANGE 4 H He If the nucleus is changed (new element or isotope)
Chemical change
is the reordering and rearrangement of atoms to make new compounds (bonds break and bonds are formed). A
change in the chemical formula
indicates a
chemical reaction

Each type of change ( Nuclear, Chemical, Physical ) can happen fast/slow, with little/lots of energy, be dramatic/unexciting

WS – Chemical Reactions – Lecture and Demo
Overview of Chemical Change / Rxn 1) Activation energy is used to break bonds or attraction between ions 2) The reactants now having incomplete valence shells (we call them activated complexes) are seeking to reform their valence shell
3) Upon forming new bonds and completing their valence shells, the become products. The products will have new chemical properties and possible new physical properties
At the end of the reaction the chemical potential energy is less and / or the atoms are in a more disordered state (increased entropy).
Common Conditions Necessary for Reactions to Occur
• Reactants will need some energy (
Activation Energy
heat, light, motion) to break the existing bonds •
Activated Complexes / Reactants
come in
Contact
need to • Reactants need to be in the correct orientation especially if the reactants are large like polymers
Contact between reactants
How close the reactants are to each other & the activation energy is important
Orientation of Reactants

How do we Model of Energy in Chemical Reactions?
Reaction Energy Pathway Diagrams
Types of Energy in Chem Rxns
•
Potential Energy is Bond Energy
–This is the energy caused by charge attraction and repulsions •
Kinetic is Heat and Light Energy
–Heat and light are the
energy of atomic motion
–Heat is motion of atoms –Light is motion of charge
Energy Diagrams Only Show Potential Energy
Rxn Pathway for Exothermic Rxn - Energy Released
Rxn Pathway for Endothermic Rxn - Energy Absorbed
Energy Absorbed Potential Energy in Compounds Reaction Pathway
Why do chemical reactions stop?
Reactants run out
Reactions stop when there is not enough activation energy
Law of
Entropy:
Chemical reactions obey the law of entropy which means either matter or energy (or both) tends to be naturally more disordered at the end of a process.
Therefore, entropy can stop reactions because the reactants or energy are scattered.
Representing Chemical Reactions

H 2 O + Energy Coefficients indicate so many of the whole compound Adding or changing coefficients does not change the reaction because it does not change the chemical formulas.
Keep a tally of reactant atoms. The products should have the same number and type of atoms.
The equation is still not complete 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O + Energy 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2H 2 O (l) + Energy • Include states of matter
States of Matter
g – gas l – liquid s – solid
Aq – Aqueous (dissolved in H 2 O)
Tips for Balancing • Look for odd and even conflicts • Limit coefficient possibilities C 6 H 6 + O 2 H 2 O + CO 2 • Balance polyatomic ions instead of atoms • Use fractions initially
Note of Caution
• Just because you can write out a balanced chemical reaction does not mean it will occur • The rate of a reaction is not indicated by the balanced chemical reaction either

You need a precipitate or evolution of a gas to occur in a single replacement reaction.

When you look at the ionic equations for double replacement reactions (like lead nitrate and potassium iodate) it is obvious that a precipitate is necessary for real change.
Therefore the key to predicting a double replacement reaction is in predicting a precipitate.

decomposition ≠ dissolving
A dissolving can be reversed by removing the solvent (sea water evaporation for sea salt) Decomposition reactions aren’t as easy to reverse (rotting fruit does not become fresh again).

Combustion Reactions
C x H y + O 2
CO 2 + H 2 O O 2 is always a reactant and always exothermic
Combustion Reactions are more generally reactions in which oxygen as a reactant breaks down another reactant into oxides.
Polymerization reactions
Two major types of polymerization reactions • Radical (breaking a double bond and creating a unpaired electron) • Condensation (acid / base rxn which makes water as byproduct)
Radical Reaction making PVC
Dacron is a condensation polymer obtained from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It has high tensile strength, good stretching, both wet and dry, and good resistance to degradation by chemical bleaches and to abrasion. It is used in curtains, dress fabrics, high-pressure fire hoses, men's shirts, and thread. It is ideal for mixing with wool in men's and women's suits, as well as in dress fabrics, knitted wear, and washable woven sportswear.

Process of a Chem Rxn • All matter has motion. Atomic collisions are happening all the time • Bonds have varying strength • If the collisions are strong enough to break bonds, atoms are free and may react with something near
• The atoms want a full valence shell so they will find partners which help them achieve this aim.
• The new partnership may be unstable and another reaction occurs

REACTION HAPPENS
Reactions yield a different distribution of kinetic and potential energy More Kinetic More Potential Exothermic Endothermic
Sometimes the destabilized reactants (called
activated complexes
) may simply return to original state.
No net effect in atom arrangements or energy.
