Unit 9 Chemical Equations

Unit 9Chemical Equations

• CP Chemistry

2
Describing Chemical Change

• OBJECTIVES
• Write equations describing chemical reactions,
  using appropriate symbols

3
Describing Chemical Change

• OBJECTIVES
• Write balanced chemical equations, when given the
  names or formulas of the reactants and products
  in a chemical reaction.

4
All chemical reactions

• have two parts
• Reactants - the substances you start with
• Products- the substances you end up with
• The reactants turn into the products.
• Reactants Products

5
Symbols in equations

• the arrow separates the reactants from the
  products
• Read reacts to form or yields
• The plus sign and
• (s) after the formula solid
• (g) after the formula gas
• (l) after the formula liquid

6
Symbols used in equations

• (aq) after the formula - dissolved in water, an
  aqueous solution.
• used after a product indicates a gas (same as
  (g))
• used after a product indicates a solid (same as
  (s))

7
Symbols used in equations

• indicates a reversible reaction
  (more later)
• shows that
  heat is supplied to the reaction
• is used to indicate a catalyst
  is supplied, in this case, platinum.

8
What is a catalyst?

• A substance that speeds up a reaction, without
  being changed or used up by the reaction.
• Enzymes are biological or protein catalysts.

9
Exothermic and Endothermic

• Exothermic Reactions give off heat
• Ex explosions
• Endothermic Reactions absorb heat and feel cold
• Ex ice packs from the nurse

10
In a chemical reaction

• The way atoms are joined is changed
• Atoms arent created or destroyed.
• Can be described several ways
• 1. In a sentence
• Copper reacts with chlorine to form copper (II)
  chloride.
• 2. In a word equation
• Copper chlorine copper (II) chloride

11

• DO NOT FORGET DIATOMIC MOLECULES!!!
• BrINClHOF
• Never travel alone!!

12
Convert these to equations

• Solid iron (III) sulfide reacts with gaseous
  hydrogen chloride to form iron (III) chloride and
  hydrogen sulfide gas.
• Nitric acid dissolved in water reacts with solid
  sodium carbonate to form liquid water and carbon
  dioxide gas and sodium nitrate dissolved in
  water.

13
Now, write these

• Fe(s) O2(g) Fe2O3(s)
• Cu(s) AgNO3(aq) Ag(s) Cu(NO3)2(aq)
• NO2 (g) N2(g) O2(g)

14
Balancing Chemical Equations
15
Balanced Equation

• Atoms cant be created or destroyed
• All the atoms we start with we must end up with
• A balanced equation has the same number of each
  element on both sides of the equation.

16
Rules for balancing

• Assemble, write the correct formulas for all the
  reactants and products
• Count the number of atoms of each type appearing
  on both sides
• Balance the elements one at a time by adding
  coefficients (the numbers in front) - save H and
  O until LAST!
• Check to make sure it is balanced.

17
Never

• Never change a subscript to balance an equation.
• If you change the formula you are describing a
  different reaction.
• H2O is a different compound than H2O2
• Never put a coefficient in the middle of a
  formula
• 2 NaCl is okay, Na2Cl is not.

28
Types of Chemical Reactions

• OBJECTIVES
• Identify a reaction as combination,
  decomposition, single-replacement,
  double-replacement, or combustion

29
Types of Chemical Reactions

• OBJECTIVES
• Predict the products of combination,
  decomposition, single-replacement,
  double-replacement, and combustion reactions.

30
Types of Reactions

• There are millions of reactions.
• Cant remember them all
• Fall into several categories.
• We will learn 5 major types.
• Will be able to predict the products.
• For some, we will be able to predict whether they
  will happen at all.
• Will recognize them by the reactants

31
1 - Combination (SYNTHESIS)

• Combine - put together
• 2 substances combine to make one compound.
• Ca O2 CaO
• SO3 H2O H2SO4
• We can predict the products if they are two
  elements.
• Mg N2 __?__

32
Write and balance

• Ca Cl2
• Fe O2
• Al O2
• Remember that the first step is to write the
  correct formulas
• Then balance by using coefficients only

33
2 - Decomposition Reactions

• decompose fall apart
• one reactant falls apart into two or more
  elements or compounds.
• NaCl Na Cl2
• CaCO3 CaO CO2
• Note that energy is usually required to decompose

34
2 - Decomposition Reactions

• Can predict the products if it is a binary
  compound
• Made up of only two elements
• Falls apart into its elements
• H2O
• HgO

35
2 - Decomposition Reactions

• If the compound has more than two elements you
  will only be asked to balance them
• __ NiCO3 ___ NiO ___ CO2
• __KClO3(aq) __ KCl __ O2

36
3 - Single Replacement

• One element replaces another
• Reactants must be an element and a compound.
• Products will be a different element and a
  different compound.
• K NaCl Na KCl
• F2 LiCl LiF Cl2

37
3 Single Replacement

• Metals replace other metals (and hydrogen)
• K AlN
• Zn HCl
• Think of water as HOH
• Metals replace one of the H, combine with
  hydroxide.
• Na HOH

38
3 Single Replacement

• We can tell whether a reaction will happen
• Some chemicals are more active than others
• More active replaces less active
• There is a list on the last page of your packet -
  called the Activity Series of Metals
• Higher on the list replaces lower.
• If something isnt on the activity series you
  have, assume the one with the higher atomic
  number is higher on the list

39
3 Single Replacement

• Note the concerning Hydrogen
• H can be replaced in acids by everything higher
• Li, K, Ba, Ca, Na replace H from acids and
  water
• Al HCl
• Fe CuSO4
• Pb KCl

40
3 - Single Replacement

• Nonmetals can replace other nonmetals
• Limited to F2 , Cl2 , Br2 , I2 (halogens)
• Higher replaces lower.
• F2 HCl
• Br2 KCl

41
4 - Double Replacement

• Two things replace each other.
• Reactants must be two ionic compounds or acids.
• Usually in aqueous solution
• NaOH FeCl3
• The positive ions change place.
• NaOH FeCl3 Fe3 OH- Na1 Cl-1
• NaOH FeCl3 Fe(OH)3 NaCl

42
4 - Double Replacement

• Has certain driving forces
• Will only happen if one of the products
• doesnt dissolve in water and forms a solid (a
  precipitate), or
• is a gas that bubbles out, or
• is a covalent compound (usually water).

43
Complete and balance

• assume all of the following reactions take place
• CaCl2 NaOH
• CuCl2 K2S
• KOH Fe(NO3)3
• (NH4)2SO4 BaF2

44
How to recognize which type

• Look at the reactants
• E E Combination
• C Decomposition
• E C Single replacement
• C C Double replacement

45
Examples

• H2 O2
• H2O
• Zn H2SO4
• HgO
• KBr Cl2
• AgNO3 NaCl
• Mg(OH)2 H2SO3

46
5 - Combustion

• Means add oxygen
• A compound composed of only C, H, and maybe O is
  reacted with oxygen
• If the combustion is complete, the products will
  be CO2 and H2O.
• If the combustion is incomplete, the products
  will be CO (possibly just C) and H2O.

47
Examples

• C4H10 O2
• C6H12O6 O2
• C8H8 O2

48
An equation...

• Describes a reaction
• Must be balanced in order to follow the Law of
  Conservation of Mass
• Can only be balanced by changing the
  coefficients.
• Has special symbols to indicate physical state,
  and if a catalyst or energy is required.

49
Reactions

• Come in 5 major types.
• Can tell what type they are by the reactants.
• Single Replacement happens based on the activity
  series
• Double Replacement happens if the product is a
  solid, water, or a gas.

50
Net Ionic Equations

• Many reactions occur in water- that is, in
  aqueous solution
• Many ionic compounds dissociate, or separate,
  into cations and anions when dissolved in water
• Now we can write a complete ionic equation

51
Net Ionic Equations

• Example
• AgNO3 NaCl ? AgCl NaNO3
• 1. this is the full equation
• 2. now write it as an ionic equation
• 3. can be simplified by eliminating ions not
  directly involved (spectator ions) net ionic
  equation

52
Predicting the Precipitate

• Insoluble salt a precipitate - note Figure
  8.13, p.227
• General rules Table 8.3, p. 227, Reference p.7
  (back of textbook), and in Lab manual p.338
• Sample problem 8-11, p.228
