1. OB: intro to chemical reactions (5) and the creation of five demo diagrams. In a chemical reaction bonds are broken and new ones form. New substances form, these new substances have their own properties. There are a variety of kinds of reactions which we will learn about, learn to recognize, and then to write balanced chemical equations for. The first kind of reaction is called the SYNTHESIS REACTION. In a synthesis reaction, smaller reactants combine to form larger products. A + B AB Reactants form into products

2. Examples of word equations… Hydrogen and oxygen synthesize into water Carbon and oxygen combine into carbon monoxide Carbon monoxide and oxygen synthesize into carbon dioxide Iron and oxygen form into iron (III) oxide (or rust) In each case, smaller reactants form into larger products. When bonds form, energy is released. To break bonds, energy must be absorbed.

3. Take out a separate sheet of paper now, not your notes. We will make a set of demo diagrams, diagramming each of the five kinds of chemical reactions. You will be expected to memorize this, able to rewrite it from memory. This is your example for synthesis (1 of 14 kinds of reactions this year). This will be collected (all 5 together) for a grade. Do it because you care about yourself.

4. Demo Diagram #1 Synthesis Reactions Get a new sheet of paper for these, name on top Hydrogen Oxygen in air With a flame, we will ignite the hydrogen, allowing it to combine with the oxygen in the air, synthesizing into water (in a FAST AND LOUD WAY!)

5. SYNTHESIS REACTION – Demo diagram #1 Abstract examples: A + B AB or X + YZ XYZ Word equation: hydrogen and oxygen yields water Skeleton: Balanced Equation: Balanced Thermochemical Equation:

6. SYNTHESIS REACTION – Demo diagram #1 Abstract examples: A + B AB or X + YZ XYZ Word equation: hydrogen and oxygen yields water Skeleton: H 2 + O 2 H 2 O Balanced Equation: 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O Balanced Thermochemical Equation: 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O + Energy

7. A synthesis reaction always has two or more smaller reactants combining into larger products. Today’s reaction was exothermic, but sometimes these reactions can absorb energy (heat) and are called endothermic. We start with a skeleton, then work out the balancing. We cannot “fix” subscripts, they are set by formula rules. We can adjust ratios by adding coefficients.

8. From the word equation, write the skeleton equation, then balance the chemical reaction. Add phase symbols where ever you can. Sodium + chlorine yields sodium chloride

9. From the word equation, write the skeleton equation, then balance the chemical reaction. Add phase symbols where ever you can. Sodium + chlorine yields sodium chloride Na + Cl 2 NaCl 2Na (S) + Cl 2(G) 2NaCl (S) For the next few slides, write the word equation, under it write a skeleton equation, then write a balanced chemical equation.

10. Iron + Oxygen synthesizes to iron III oxide (rust)

11. 4Fe (S) + 3O 2(G) 2Fe 2 O 3(S)

12. Aluminum + Nitrogen synthesize to aluminum nitride

14. Aluminum + Nitrogen synthesize to aluminum nitride 2Al (S) + N 2(G) 2AlN (S)

15. Potassium and chlorine make potassium chloride

16. 2K (S) + Cl 2(G) 2KCl (S)

17. Examples of skeleton equations… H 2 + O 2 H 2 O C + O 2 CO CO + O 2 CO 2 Fe + O 2 Fe 2 O 3

18. Examples of Balanced equations… 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O 2C + O 2 2CO 2CO + O 2 2CO 2 4Fe + 3O 2 2Fe 2 O 3
