Essential Questions

How do we describe a chemical reaction?

How do we quantify a reaction?

Objectives

• Safely and correctly run three chemical reactions.

• Model each chemical change.

• Use coefficients to balance chemical equations.

Where does the blue “cloud” come from?

TEKS

8 (A) define and use the concept of a mole;8 (B) use the mole concept to calculate the number of atoms, ions, or

molecules in a sample of material;8 (C) calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular

formulas;8 (D) use the law of conservation of mass to write and balance chemical

equations; and8 (E) perform stoichiometric calculations, including determination of

mass relationships between reactants and products, calculation of limiting reagents, and percent yield.

Assessment

Use 3D models to illustrate and balance the following chemical equation:

How many moles of NaOH does it take to produce 2.7 g of Cu(OH)2?

__ NaOH + __ CuCl2 __ NaCl + __Cu(OH)2

Review

• Chemicals are mixed, but no chemical bonds are broken.

• No new substances are formed.

Physical change Chemical change

• Chemicals bonds are broken and formed. • One or more new substances are

produced.

Water+ food dye

Bleach + food dye

Chemical equations

We use chemical equations to describe chemical reactions.

Chemical equations

Reactants Products

The numbers in front of the chemical formulas are called coefficients.

The general form of a chemical equation is:

Reactant 1 + Reactant 2 Product 1 + Product 2

Safety rules

• Do not consume food or drinks in the lab.

• Wear appropriate protective gear.

• Report all spills and accidents. • Work methodically, and ask

questions if necessary.• Understand the hazards of the

chemicals you are using.Protect yourself against different types of hazards.
