2. Chemical Formulas We KNOW, a chemical formula is the combination of elemental symbols that are in a substance, … but what are those numbers?

3. Subscript A subscript is the number written below and to the RIGHT of the chemical symbol. It means there are that many of those atoms. If there is no subscript, that means only one atom of the element is there. Ex. NaCl “Sub” means “under”. The subscript is UNDER the chemical symbol! CO 2 H2OH2O MgCl 2 Subscript

4. Coefficient A coefficient is the number placed in FRONT of a chemical symbol or formula. You MULTIPLY the number (subscript) of each element in the formula by this number. 2CO 3H 2 O Coefficient Subscript

5. Label the subscript and coefficient: 1. C 6 H 12 O 6 2. 2HCl 3. 3NaO 2 4. NaHO 5 5. CuS 2 6. N 2 CO 3 7. CaSO 4 8. Fe 2 O 3 9. 4NaOCl 10. Al 2 SO 4

10. Creating Chemical Formulas

11. Once we understand formulas… We can look at equations!

12. Review of Formulas 3HCl 2 CH(NaO 3 ) 2 4NOH 2 O 2Mg 2 (Cl 2 O) 3 Steps: 1.ID the elements 2.Count up the subscripts 3.Get rid of the parentheses 4.Distribute the coefficient

13. Chemical Equations Chemical equations are used to describe reactions. A chemical equation uses chemical formulas and symbols as a short way to describe a chemical reaction. Ex. C + O 2  CO 2 H + O  H 2 O Finish this chemical equation: Na + Cl  ______

14. Balancing equations The Law of Conservation of Matter (Mass tells us that the mass of the reactants that we start with, HAS TO BE the same as the products that we end with.) When we write a CHEMICAL EQUATION, we want to make sure that it follows this law. We call it a “balanced equation”. This means that there is the same number of atoms of each element on EACH side of the equation (before and after)

15. The STEPS of Balancing Chemical Equations

16. Conservation of Matter Matter is NEVER created, nor destroyed Chemical Reaction - elements and total # of atoms in the reactants must be the same for products # of atoms before the reaction = # of atoms after the reaction reactantproduct

17. Knowing this, lets look back at that anticipation guide from last week…

18. H 2 + O 2  H 2 O Reactant  Product Before the reaction = after the reaction What are the reactants? What are the products? What elements are present on both sides? Is the equation balanced (equal)? Why? How can the number of atoms on both sides of the equation be balanced?

19. 1. Identify all the elements involved in the reaction: H 2 + O 2 --> H 2 O H O

20. 2. Count the number of atoms (use subscripts) of EACH element on BOTH sides: H 2 + O 2 --> H 2 O - H - - O - 2 2 2 1 reactants product

21. 3. Identify which side needs more atoms. Put COEFFICIENTS, MULTIPLY and RECOUNT the atoms. Do not change the formula. H 2 + O 2 --> H 2 O2 - H - - O - 2 2 2 1 4 2

22. BALANCED!! H 2 + O 2 --> H 2 O - H - - O - 2 2 2 1 2 4 2 2 4 4. Do the same (C,M,R) on the other side until ALL the atoms on both sides are EQUAL.

23. EXERCISE: BALANCE THE EQUATION. FOLLOW THE STEPS. H 2 + Cl 2 ---> HCl 2

24. 2. KClO 3 --> KCl + O 2

25. Practice together: 1. CaO  Ca + O 2. N 2 + H 2  NH 3 3. Fe + H 2 O  Fe 2 O 2 + H 2

26. 3. Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 + NaF→ Al F 3 + Na 2 SO 4 - Al - - S - - O - - Na - - F -
