1 Chemical Equations and Chemical Reactions

2 Writing A Chemical Equation
The general format for chemical equations is: a + b  c + d

3 What Does It All Mean? a + b  c + d
The reactants go on the left side of the equation (a and b in this case). The + sign means “reacts with”. The  means “produces or yields”. The products go on the right side of the equation (c and d in this case).

4 Lets work with the statement:
“Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form liquid water” Word Equation hydrogen + oxygen  water Skeleton Equation H2 + O2  H2O

5 To balance equations numbers called coefficients are put before the formulas. This changes the number of molecules. You cannot add or change subscripts. You do not write coefficients of 1 (one). Balanced Equation ___H2 + ___O2  ___H2O 2H2 + O2  2H2O

6 Why Must We Balance Equations?
Remember the Law of Conservation of Mass states that the total mass of reactants is always equal to the total mass of the products. Dalton’s Atomic Theory states that atoms can not be created or destroyed. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in fixed proportions.

7 Sometimes you need to know the state of the chemicals that are involved in a chemical reaction.

8 State Abbreviation solid liquid gas aqueous solution

9 State Abbreviation solid (s) liquid gas aqueous solution

10 State Abbreviation solid (s) liquid (l) gas aqueous solution

11 State Abbreviation solid (s) liquid (l) gas (g) aqueous solution

12 State Abbreviation solid (s) liquid (l) gas (g) aqueous solution (aq)

13 Final Balanced Chemical Equation
2H2(g) + O2(g)  2H2O(l)

14 Step 1: Write in the symbols for all atoms and ions (skeleton equation) Balance each compound Remember diatomic ions: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2 Remember to look for polyatomic ions on both sides of the equation iron + water  hydrogen gas + iron (III) oxide Fe + H2O  H2 + Fe2O3

15 Step 2: Fe (s) + H2O (l)  H2 (g) + Fe2O3 (s)
Write in the abbreviations for the state of each compound if known or given Solid = (s) ex. Fe (s) Liquid = (l) ex. H2O (l) Gas = (g) ex. He (g) Aqueous solution = (aq) ex. NaCl (aq) Fe (s) + H2O (l)  H2 (g) + Fe2O3 (s)

16 Step 3: Balance Equation
Balance the equation by adding coefficients Pick single elements that appear on each side first to balance Remember leave O then H until the end Go back and re-check that all atoms are equal on both sides If you have any fraction coefficients clear them by multiplying. Also, make sure you have the smallest possible coefficients by reducing the ENTIRE EQUATION. 2Fe (s) + 3H2O (l)  3H2 (g) + Fe2O3 (s)

17 Word Equation Skeletal Equation Balanced Equation
