Chemical Reactions
Chemical Equation
Describes chemical reaction.
 Chemical equation: reactants yield products
 Reactants  Products


Much easier to write symbols and formulas
instead of words
Examples



Solid Iron reacts with oxygen gas to form the solid
IronIIIoxide.
iron(s) + oxygen(g)  ironIIIoxide(s)
Fe(s) + O2(g)  Fe2O3(s)

Carbon tetrahydride gas BURNS to form carbon dioxide
gas and water vapor.

Carbon tetrahydride(g) + oxygen(g)  carbon dioxide(↑) + water(↑)



CH4(g) + O2(g)  CO2(↑) + H2O(↑)
Skeleton Equation: chemical equation that tells you what the
reactants and products are but NOT how much of each you have.
First step in writing a chemical equation.

Balancing Chemical Equations
Balanced equations have:
 the same # of atoms of each element on
BOTH sides of the equation.


Law of Conservation of Mass – atoms can
neither be created nor destroyed, simply
rearranged.
Rules for Balancing Equations

Get the correct formulas for reactants and
products.

(USE ION CHART AND DON”T FORGET
DIATOMIC ELEMENTS!)

Write reactants on left, products on right.
Use plus signs to separate compounds and
yield sign to separate the reactants from
products.
Rules Continued
Count the # of atoms of each element in
reactants and products. (Polyatomic atoms
on both sides count as one.)
 Balance # of each element using
coefficients.
 Coefficient – small whole # in front of a
formula.
 NEVER CHANGE FORMULA
SUBSCRIPTS

Rules for Balancing Equations
Balance elements appearing 3 or more
places LAST.
 Check each element to make sure equation
is balanced.
 Make sure all coefficients are in the lowest
whole number ratio.

Do not change subscripts!!!
Diatomic Molecules
Diatomic Molecules- a molecule made up two
atoms of the same element. They are only
diatomic when they are alone.
-There are 7 naturally occurring
diatomic molecules.
H O N Cl
Br
I F
Balancing Examples

___ C(s) + ___ O2(g)  ___ CO2 (g)

___ C(s) + ___ O2(g)  ___ CO (g)

___ AgNO3(aq) + ___Cu(s)  ___ Cu(NO3)2(aq) + ___ Ag(s)

___ Al(s) + ___ O3(g)  ___ Al2O3(s)

*___ C2H6(g) + ___ O2(g)  ___ CO2(g) + ___ H2O(g)

*___ H3PO3  ___ H3PO4 + PH3
5 Types of Chemical Reactions

Combination Reaction – elements combine to
form a compound.
A


AB
element + element  compound
Ex. Sodium + chlorine  sodium chloride

5 Types of Reactions

Decomposition Reaction – compound
breaks down into its element.

Ex: MercuryII oxide  mercury + oxygen
2 HgO  ___Hg

Examples of Single Replacement
Reactions
• Must use Activity Series to see if reaction works
• Zinc + sulfuric acid  zinc sulfate + hydorgen
• Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq)  ZnSO4(aq) + H2(↑)
• Periodic table is activity series for halogens
•

Double Replacement Reaction – two compounds react and
exchange positive ions to form two new compounds.

5 Types of Reactions
Combustion Reaction – oxygen reacts with a
compound composed of C and H.
C x Hy + O 2
CO2 + H20
Also called Burning (exothermic)
The products are always CO2 and H2O.
Examples of Combustion Reactions

compound that breaks into parts.
Single Replacement – given a single element plus a
single compound, forms a new compound a a
different element.
