What was the best part of your break that included an
ionic compound? (name the compound too)
What was the best part of your break that included a
covalent compound? (name the compound too)
Name a chemical change that you observed over the
break.
Which type of reaction was your break most like?

WELCOME BACK
TO CHEMISTRY!
We are going to review how to write
formulas and balance equations . . .
WE WILL STEP BY STEP, TRANSLATE A
SENTENCE INTO A BALANCED CHEMICAL
REACTION.
1. Copper (II) chloride reacts with aluminum foil to form aluminum
chloride and solid copper metal.
FIRST WE NEED FORMULAS. . . .
Copper (II) chloride
Step 1: Is the compound ionic or covalent?
Ionic
Step 2: What are the oxidation numbers?
Cu+2 and Cl-1
Step 3: Cross the charges to create a compound with a zero net charge.
CuCl2
Copper (II) chloride reacts with aluminum foil to form aluminum chloride and
solid copper metal.
WHAT’S THE FORMULA FOR ALUMINUM?
Al
What’s the formula for Aluminum Chloride?
Step 1: Is the compound ionic or covalent?
Ionic
Step 2: What are the oxidation numbers?
Al+3 and Cl-1
Step 3: Cross the charges to create a compound with a zero net charge.
AlCl3
Copper (II) chloride reacts with aluminum foil to form aluminum chloride and
solid copper metal.
WHAT’S THE FORMULA FOR COPPER?
Cu
Now we can write the equation:
CuCl2 + Al –> AlCl3 + Cu
What type of reaction is this?
There’s one more step . . . . . .
Copper (II) chloride reacts with aluminum foil to form aluminum
chloride and solid copper metal.
WE MUST HAVE A BALANCED EQUATION!
____ CuCl2+ ____ Al –> ____ AlCl3 + ____ Cu
Step 1: List elements or polyatomic ions under both
sides.

2. Lead Nitrate reacts with potassium iodide to form
potassium nitrate and a lead iodide precipitate.
FIRST WE NEED FORMULAS. . . .
Step 1: Is the compound ionic or covalent?
Step 2: What are the oxidation numbers?
Step 3: Cross the charges to create a compound with a zero net charge.
One point for each correct formula written in 4 minutes.
