Introduction 5
– Chemical reactions occur when bonds between the outermost parts of atoms are formed or broken
– Chemical reactions involve changes in matter, the making of new materials with new properties, and energy changes.
– Symbols represent elements, formulas describe compounds, chemical equations describe a chemical reaction

6
Parts of a Reaction Equation
– Chemical equations show the conversion of reactants (the molecules shown on the left of the arrow) into products (the molecules shown on the right of the arrow).
• A + sign separates molecules on the same side
• The arrow is read as “yields”
• Example
C + O
2
 CO
2
• This reads “carbon plus oxygen react to yield carbon dioxide”

7
• The charcoal used in a grill is basically carbon. The carbon reacts with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for this reaction, C + O
2
 CO contains the same information as the English
2
, sentence but has quantitative meaning as well.

Activator:

Chemical Equations
Because of the principle of the conservation of matter
, an equation must be balanced
.
It must have the same number of atoms of the same kind on both sides.
Lavoisier, 1788

Symbols Used in Equations
• Solid (s)
• Liquid (l)
• Gas (g)
• Aqueous solution (aq)
• Catalyst

Ticket out the Door
1. Name the 5 types of reactions.
2. How do you know a chemical reaction has occurred?
3. Name 5 symbols that may be used in a chemical equation.
11

Balancing Equations
– When balancing a chemical reaction you may add coefficients in front of the compounds to balance the reaction, but you may not change the subscripts.
• Changing the subscripts changes the compound. Subscripts are determined by the valence electrons (charges for ionic or sharing for covalent)
12

DIATOMIC ELEMENTS
• Elements that exist as 2 atoms naturally bonded together
• When by themselves in a reaction, they
MUST have a 2 after their symbol
• Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and all of the
Halogens (Group 7A)
• H, O, N, + Halogens
13

HANDOUT—SIDE B
14

Subscripts vs. Coefficients 15
• The subscripts tell you how many atoms of a particular element are in a compound. The coefficient tells you about the quantity, or number, of molecules of the compound.

Steps to Balancing Equations
17
There are four basic steps to balancing a chemical equation.
1. Write the correct formula for the reactants and the products. DO NOT TRY TO BALANCE IT YET! You must write the correct formulas first. And most importantly, once you write them correctly DO NOT
CHANGE THE FORMULAS!
2. Find the number of atoms for each element on the left side. Compare those against the number of the atoms of the same element on the right side.
3. Determine where to place coefficients in front of formulas so that the left side has the same number of atoms as the right side for EACH element in order to balance the equation.
4. Check your answer to see if:
– The numbers of atoms on both sides of the equation are now balanced.
– The coefficients are in the lowest possible whole number ratios. (reduced)

Some Suggestions to Help You
Some Helpful Hints for balancing equations:
• Take one element at a time, working left to right except for H and O. Save H for next to last, and O until last.
• IF everything balances except for O, and there is no way to balance O with a whole number, double all the coefficients and try again. (Because O is diatomic as an element)
• (Shortcut) Polyatomic ions that appear on both sides of the equation should be balanced as independent units
