8.3 What Information Does
an Equation Tell Us
2
• Chemists use chemical equations to
describe reactions they observe in the
laboratory or in nature.
• Chemical equations provide us with
the means to
1.summarize the reaction
2.display the substances that are reacting
3.show the products
4.indicate the amounts of all component
substances in a reaction.
3
The Chemical Equation
• Chemical reactions always involve change.
• Atoms, molecules or ions rearrange to form
new substances.
• The substances entering the reaction are called
reactants.
• The substances formed in the reaction are
called products.
• During reactions, chemical bonds are broken
and new bonds are formed.
4
• A chemical equation is a shorthand
expression for a chemical change or
reaction.
• A chemical equation uses the chemical
symbols and formulas of the reactants
and products and other symbolic terms
to represent a chemical reaction.

Coefficients (whole numbers) are placed
in front of substances to balance the
equation and to indicate the number of
units (atoms, molecules, moles, or ions)
of each substance that are reacting.

Writing and
Balancing Equations
• To balance an equation adjust the
number of atoms of each element so
that they are the same on each side of
the equation.
• Never change a correct formula to
balance an equation.
23
Steps for
Balancing Equations
Step 1 Identify the reaction. Write a
description or word equation for the
reaction.
Mercury (II) oxide decomposes to form mercury
and oxygen.
mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen
24
Step 2 Write the unbalanced (skeleton)
equation.
– The formulas of the reactants and
products must be correct.
– The reactants are written to the left of
the arrow and the products to the right
of the arrow.
HgO  Hg + O2
The formulas of the reactants and
products can never be changed.
25
Step 3a Balance the equation.
– Count and compare the number of atoms of each
element on both sides of the equation.
– Determine the elements that require balancing.
26
Step 3a Balance the equation.
HgO → Hg + O2

– There is one mercury atom on the reactant side
and one mercury atom on the product side.
– Mercury is balanced.

2
– There are two oxygen atoms on the
product side and there is one oxygen atom
on the reactant side.
– Oxygen needs to be balanced.
28
Step 3b Balance the equation.
– Balance each element one at a time, by
placing whole numbers (coefficients) in
front of the formulas containing the
unbalanced element.
– A coefficient placed before a formula
multiplies every atom in the formula by that
coefficient.

side and there are two oxygen atoms on the
product side.
 Oxygen (O) is balanced.
30
Step 3c Balance the equation.
• Check all other elements after each
individual element is balanced to see
whether, in balancing one element,
another element became unbalanced.

Energy of Activation
• A certain amount of energy is always
required for a reaction to occur.
• The energy required to start a reaction
is called the energy of activation.
77

• This reaction will not occur unless
activation energy is supplied.
• The activation energy can take the
form of a spark or a flame.
