It is only necessary to tie back long hair and avoid loose clothing such as
scarves, ties, long necklaces and head/ear phone cords if you are using
fire.
You should wear all proper safety protection as instructed by your
teacher.
It is fine to proceed with an experiment if you are unsure of the safety
symbols (HHPS and WHMIS) as long as you do not see a skull and cross

Skeleton equation: CH4(g) + O2(g) �⎯⎯� H2O(l) + CO2(g)
To balance the compounds, take note of how many atoms of each element
occur on each side of the reaction arrow:

Double the quantity of Hydrogens in the products. Place a 2 in front of H2O.

Now double the quantity of Oxygen in the reactants. Place a 2 in front of O2.

___ Sn(NO2)4 + ___ K3PO4 �⎯⎯� ___ KNO2 + ___ Sn3(PO4)4
It’s best to begin with the polyatomic ions, such as PO4. Place a 4 in front of K3PO4.
___ Sn(NO2)4 + 4 K3PO4 �⎯⎯� ___ KNO2 + ___ Sn3(PO4)4
Notice that there are now 12 K in the reactants. Place 12 in front of KNO2.
___ Sn(NO2)4 + 4 K3PO4 �⎯⎯� 12 KNO2 + ___ Sn3(PO4)4
C.
Next, balance the NO2 in the reactants. Place a 3 in front of Sn(NO2)4. It’s now a
balanced equation!
3 Sn(NO2)4 + 4 K3PO4 �⎯⎯� 12 KNO2 + Sn3(PO4)
___ C2H6 + ___ O2 �⎯⎯� ___ CO2 + ___ H2O
For combustion of carbohydrates (CH compounds), it is always best to begin with
Carbon and Hydrogen, ending with Oxygen.
Begin by placing a 2 in front of CO2 to balance the C. Then, place a 3 in front of H2O to
balance the H.
___ C2H6 + ___ O2 �⎯⎯� 2 CO2 + 3 H2O
Count the number of O in the product and divide this number by 2. In the products,
7
there are 7 O. Place 2 in front of O2.
7
1 C2H6 + 2 O2 �⎯⎯� 2 CO2 + 3 H2O
Since we are NOT allowed to have fractions in a balanced equation, simply double all
quantities in the equation.
2 C2H6 + 7 O2 �⎯⎯� 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

2.4 NOTES: Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
Exothermic Reactions
These are reactions which ___________energy. Energy in chemical reactions is measured in
_____________ (kJ). Consider the following hypothetical reaction:
x2 + y2 �⎯⎯� 2xy
50 kJ of energy are required to _____________ that hold the x's and y's together in their
respective molecules, but 100 kJ is released when xy forms.
50 kJ + x2 + y2 �⎯⎯� 2xy + 100 kJ
simplified
x2 + y2 �⎯⎯� 2xy + 50 kJ
The ______________ is that 50 kJ of energy are released.
Reactions of this sort which produce energy are called _____________ reactions. "Exo"
means "out" and "therm" refers to _______. So, "exothermic" means that heat is coming out,
or being produced.
Reactants → Products + _______________
An example of an exothermic reaction occurs during _________________ in animals and
plants. The reaction involves "burning" sugar (glucose C6H12O6 (s)) to produce energy.
Oxygen from the air is required.
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) �⎯⎯� 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) + 2 803 kJ
2022-04-20
Page 16 of 35
WCLN - Science 10
Endothermic Reactions
There is a net requirement or ______________________ in some chemical reactions. The
bond breaking process in the reactants requires more energy than is released in total. Energy
from an external source must be absorbed.
_______________ + Reactants �⎯⎯� Products
Such reactions which absorb energy are called _______________ reactions. ("Endo" means
"into.")
Plants have the ability to use the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into
glucose and oxygen. This is the opposite process of cellular respiration and is called
_____________________:
6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) + 2 803 kJ (from the sun) → C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g)

Before you complete the practice below read Energy Changes During Chemical
Reactions.
1. State whether each of the following are exothermic or endothermic.

is the most common indicator, used on litmus paper.
Two colours of litmus paper: Blue = basic and Red = acidic.
Blue = pH above 7, Red = pH below 7
contains many indicators that turn different
colours at different pH values (can be in liquid form, or on paper strips like litmus)
A

to measure
how solutions conduct electricity
Indicators change colour at different pH values, so
indicators are used to identify
values
Bromothymol blue for pH 6 - 7.6, phenolphthalein for pH 8.2 - 10
Many natural sources, such as beets and cabbage, are also indicators

If you know a compound’s chemical formula, you may be able to identify it as a base.
• Bases, like acids, often behave like bases only when dissolved in water
• Therefore, bases are often written with subscript (aq) = aquatic = water
The chemical formula of a base usually ends with ___________________.

• Mg(OH)2(aq)
• Ca(OH)2(aq)

The pH of a solution refers to the concentration of (H+/OH-) ions it has.
• Square brackets are used to signify concentration, [H+(aq)], [OH–(aq)]
o High [H+(aq)] =

TASTE: NEVER taste
chemicals in the laboratory.
Taste sour: for example,
lemons, limes and vinegar.
Taste bitter: for example,
quinine in tonic water
TOUCH: NEVER touch
chemicals with bare hands.
Use appropriate gloves if
touch is required.
Many acids are corrosive
and may cause burn to the
skin. Acid in batteries is an
example.
Slippery: many bases are
corrosive and may cause
burn to the skin. Lye
