1. Chemical Reactions
Chemical changes are occurring around us all the time
Food cooking
Fuel being burned in a car’s engine
Oxygen being used in the human body

2. Chemical Reactions The starting materials are called reactants
The ending materials are called products

3. Chemical Reactions
To describe the reaction that creates fire at the bunsen burner in lab
Methane gas reacts quickly with oxygen gas to produce fire, carbon dioxide, and water vapor
That’s a lot to write!

4. Chemical Reactions
We can simplify the description of our reaction by using a word equation
Methane gas + oxygen gas →
fire + carbon dioxide gas + water vapor
Still a lot to write!

5. Chemical Reactions
There is an even simpler way to express a chemical reaction
We use formula equations to show the reaction
Methane gas + oxygen gas →
fire + carbon dioxide gas + water vapor
CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
+ represents “and”
→ represents “yields”

6. Chemical Reactions
Methane gas + oxygen gas →
fire + carbon dioxide gas + water vapor
CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
However there is some information that is not shown in the formula equation
State of matter
Fire/ Energy

7. Chemical Reactions
We can show state of matter using the following symbols
(s) solid
(l) liquid
(g) gas
(aq) aqueous solution (substance is dissolved in water)
Methane gas + oxygen gas →
fire + carbon dioxide gas + water vapor
CH4 (g)+ O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + H2O (g)

8. Chemical Reactions
We can indicate if energy was present in the reaction
Reactions that have energy as a reactant are called endothermic
They require energy for the reaction to occur
Also sometimes represented as → or →
Reactions that have energy as a product are called exothermic
Energy happens as a result of the reaction
Heat

9. Chemical Reactions Methane gas + oxygen gas →
fire + carbon dioxide gas + water vapor
CH4 (g)+ O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + H2O (g) + energy

6.Potassium chlorate when heated produces potassium chloride plus oxygen gas.

12. Chemical Reactions
7.Sulfuric acid decomposes to form sulfur trioxide gas plus water.
8.Sodium oxide combines with water to make sodium hydroxide.
9.Potassium iodide reacts with bromine forming potassium bromide plus iodine.

13. Chemical Reactions
10.Sodium phosphate reacts with calcium nitrate to produce sodium nitrate and calcium phosphate.
11.Zinc reacts with iron (III) chloride yielding zinc chloride plus iron precipitate.
12.Ammonium carbonate and magnesium sulfate react to yield ammonium sulfate plus magnesium carbonate.

14. Chemical Reactions
13.Phosphoric acid plus calcium hydroxide react forming solid calcium phosphate plus water.
14.Aluminum plus oxygen form aluminum oxide under certain conditions.
15.Nitrogen plus oxygen gas react and form dinitrogen pentoxide.

15. Chemical Reactions The five general types of reactions: Synthesis
Decomposition
Single-replacement
Double-replacement
Combustion

16. Chemical Reactions A + B → AB 2Mg + O2 → 2 MgO
A synthesis reaction is a chemical change in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance.
A + B → AB
2Mg + O2 → 2 MgO

17. Chemical Reactions
A decomposition reaction is a chemical change in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products
AB → A + B
2NaN3 → 2Na + 3N2

18. Chemical Reactions
A single-replacement reaction is one in which one element replaces a second element in a compound
AB + C → AC + B
2NaCl + Br2 → 2NaBr + Cl2 or
C + AB → A + CB
Zn + Cu(NO3)2 → Cu + Zn(NO3)2

19. 2NaNO3 + CuBr2 → 2NaBr +Cu(NO3)2
Chemical Reactions
A double-replacement reaction which is a chemical change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds.
AB + CD → AD + CB
2NaNO3 + CuBr2 → 2NaBr +Cu(NO3)2

20. Chemical Reactions
A combustion reaction is a chemical change in which an element or a compound reacts with oxygen, often producing energy in the form of heat and light.
CH O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
