3/15/12 – Bell ringer Water freezing or boiling is not chemical reaction. Why? Hold on to 4 bell ringers as we will turn them in at the end of notes

Chapter 23 – Chemical Reactions 23.1 – Chemical Changes

Objectives 1. Identify the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. 2. Determine how a chemical reaction satisfies the law of the conservation of matter. 3. Determine how chemists express chemical changes using equations

Chemical Reaction A change in which one or more substances are converted to new substances –Reactants – the substances that react –Products – the new substances produced

Different Reactions Chemical reactions – use the ELECTRONS to form new substances Nuclear reactions - use the NUCLEUS to form new substances What does a chemical reaction look like?

REACTANTS PRODUCTS

Think about it… If you burned a piece of paper, you end up with a pile of ashes. Once burned, is there… –More mass? –Same mass? –Less mass? Why?

Conservation of Mass Law that states in a chemical reaction, matter is not created or destroyed –Antoine Lavoisier experimented with mercury (II) oxide and heat –He found mass of products (liquid mercury and oxygen gas) equaled mass of reactants

Chemical Equation Uses chemical formulas and symbols to describe a chemical reaction and the product(s) it produces –Chemical formula expresses the relationship between elements in the compound and molecules they make up

Chemical Equation Reactants (left) → Products (right) Arrow means “yields” SnO 2 (s) + 2 H 2 (g) → Sn(s) + 2 H 2 O(g) CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) → CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O(g)

Coefficients Numbers which represent the number of units of each substance in a reaction –Knowing coefficients of chemical reactions allows chemists to use the correct amount of reactants to predict the amount of products (law of conservation applies)

Example

Writing equations Subscripts = Numbers which represent the number of atoms in a molecule of a particular element Symbols used to show state of reactants –(s) solids –(aq) aqueous –(l) liquid –(g) gas

Volcano with a Twist Reactants? Products?

Equation: NaHCO 3 ( ) + CH 3 COOH ( )  CH 3 COO - Na + ( ) + H 2 O ( ) + CO 2 ( ) States? Conservation?

Exit slip on BR paper SnO 2 (s) + 2 H 2 (g) → Sn(s) + 2 H 2 O(g) What are the reactants? What are the products? How is matter conserved/equalled out? What changed? –(Compounds and States)
