4. Evidence of a Chemical Reaction
Section 1 Describing Chemical Reactions
Chapter 8
Evidence of a Chemical Reaction
solution color changes

copper is used up

5. Evidence of a Chemical Reaction
Produces heat and/or light
Produces gas
Forms a precipitate (a solid appears)
Color change
Temperature change

6. Balancing Chemical Reactions
Why do it?
We need to know exactly how much of everything there is.
What do you do?
Count
Make sure the exact same number of atoms exists on both sides of the eqn.

8. Rules of Balancing
Write each individual formula (Criss-Cross Applesauce)
Take inventory
Use coefficients to balance.
Check your work.

Sample Problem A
2 Na + Cl2  2 NaCl
Now everything is EQUAL!
2 Na + Cl2  2 NaCl

23. Ca3(PO4)2 + Mg(OH)2 → Ca(OH)2 + Mg3(PO4)2
Sample Problem B
Ca3(PO4)2 + Mg(OH)2 → Ca(OH)2 + Mg3(PO4)2
COUNT!

24. Ca3(PO4)2 + Mg(OH)2 → 3 Ca(OH)2 + Mg3(PO4)2
Sample Problem B
Ca3(PO4)2 + Mg(OH)2 → 3 Ca(OH)2 + Mg3(PO4)2

25. Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 Mg(OH)2 → 3 Ca(OH)2 + Mg3(PO4)2
Sample Problem B
Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 Mg(OH)2 → 3 Ca(OH)2 + Mg3(PO4)2
