–Chemical reactions occur when bonds between atoms are formed or broken
–Chemical reactions involve changes in matter, the making of new materials with new properties, and energy changes.
–Symbols represent elements, –Formulas represent compounds, –Chemical equations represent chemical
reactions
Introduction
Combustion of MethaneCH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O
Atoms are rearranged!
Chemical Equations
Their Job: Depict the kind of reactants and products and their relative amounts in a reaction.
4 Al (s) + 3 O2 (g) > 2 Al2O3 (s)
The numbers in the front of formulas are called COEFFICIENTS
The letters (s), (g), and (l) are the physical states of compounds.Starting Materials What’s created
Yields or produces!
• The charcoal used in a grill is basically carbon. The carbon reacts with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide.
carbon + oxygen carbon dioxideThis is the “Word Equation” for that reaction
The skeleton equation for that reaction is:
C + O2 CO2Chemical Equations must be balanced in order to conform to the Law of Conservation of Mass - same # & type of atoms on each side of the yield arrow.
A skeleton equation does NOT indicate the relative amounts of reactants and products(no coefficients!)
Word Equations: show the names of the reactants and the products
Lavoisier, 1788
Word Equation:Methane + Oxygen gas carbon dioxide + waterSkeleton equation: CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O
• Solid (s)• Liquid (l)• Gas (g)• Aqueous solution (aq) (dissolved in water)• Catalyst H2SO4
• Escaping gas ()• Change of temperature ()• Precipitate ( )
Symbols Used in Equations
–When balancing a chemical reaction you may add coefficients in front of the compounds to balance the reaction, but
you may not change the subscripts.• Changing the subscripts changes the
compound. Subscripts are determined by the valence electrons (charges for ionic or sharing for covalent)
Balancing Equations
Never put a coefficient in the middle of a formula 2 NaCl is ok Na2Cl is not.
Subscripts vs. Coefficients
• The subscripts tell you how many atoms of a particular element are in a compound. The coefficient tells you about the quantity, or number, of molecules of the compound.
There are four basic steps to balancing a chemical equation.1. Write the correct formula for the reactants and the
products. DO NOT TRY TO BALANCE IT YET! You must write the correct formulas first. And most importantly, once you write them correctly DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMULAS!
2. Find the number of atoms for each element on the left side. Compare those against the number of the atoms of the same element on the right side.
3. Determine where to place coefficients in front of formulas so that the left side has the same number of atoms as the right side for EACH element in order to balance the equation.
4. Check your answer to see if:– The numbers of atoms on both sides of the
equation are equal.– The coefficients are in the lowest possible whole
number ratios. (reduced)
Steps to Balancing Equations
Some Suggestions to Help You
Helpful Hints for balancing equations:• Take one element at a time. • Save pure elements for last• IF everything balances except for that last
pure element, and there is no way to balance it with a whole number, double all the coefficients and try again.
• (Shortcut) Polyatomic ions that appear on both sides of the equation should be balanced as independent units
That is, don’t separate them into individual atoms!
Example
H2 + O2 H2O
R P
2 H 2
2 O 1
Need another O on the product side
Make a table to keep track of atoms
Example
R P
2 H 2
2 O 1
H2 + O2 2H2O
Changes the O
Place a coefficient of 2 in front of H2O
Example
R P
2 H 2
2 O 1
H2 + O2 2H2O
This also changes the H

Example
R P
2 H 2
2 O 1
H2 + O2 2H2O
Now we need twice as much H in the reactant

• You need to be able to identify the type of reaction and predict the product(s) given the reactants
1. Combination Reactions• Combination reactions occur when
two or more substances combine to form a single compound.
• (Sometimes these are called synthesis reactions.)
reactant + reactant 1 product• Basically: A + B AB
• Example: 2H2 + O2 2H2O • Example: C + O2 CO2
Combination Reactions(Synthesis)
General form: A + B ABelement or element or compound compound compound

Synthesis Reactions• example
Balancing Equations
___ Al(s) + ___ Br2(l) ---> 2AlBr3(s)2 3
Practice
• Predict the products. Write and balance the following synthesis reaction equations.
• Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas Na(s) + Cl2(g) • Solid Magnesium reacts with fluorine gas Mg(s) + F2(g) • Aluminum metal reacts with fluorine gas Al(s) + F2(g)
when a single compound breaks up into two or more simpler substances
• 1 Reactant Product + Product • In general: AB A + B• Example: 2 H2O 2H2 + O2
• Example: 2 HgO 2Hg + O2
Decomposition Reactions• Another view of a decomposition reaction:
Example: Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
• Word equation:
hydrogen peroxide water + oxygen
Example: Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
• Skeleton equation:
H2O2 H2O + O2
Example: Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
• Balanced Equation:
2H2O2 2H2O + O2
Example: Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence
of a catalyst.Balanced equation showing • the catalyst (MnO2) • the state of the reactants and products:
MnO2
2H2O2(l) 2H2O (l) + O2 (g)
Decomposition Types• These are hardest to predict products for!• There are many special cases, but we will not
explore those in Chemistry. For Ex.:• Carbonates and chlorates are special case
decomposition reactions that do not go to the elements.• Carbonates (CO3
2-) decompose to carbon dioxide and a metal oxide• Example: CaCO3 CO2 + CaO
• Chlorates (ClO3-) decompose to oxygen gas and a
metal chloride• Example: 2 Al(ClO3)3 2 AlCl3 + 9 O2
• I
Practice
• Predict the products. Then, write and balance the following decomposition reaction equations:
• Solid Lead (IV) oxide decomposes PbO2
• Aluminum nitride decomposes AlN
Pb + O2
Al + N22 2
3. Single Replacement Reactions• Single Replacement Reactions occur when
one element replaces another in a compound.• A metal can replace a metal (+) OR
a nonmetal can replace a nonmetal (-).• element + compound element + compound
A + BC AC + B (if A is a metal) ORA + BC BA + C (if A is a nonmetal)
*(remember the cation always goes first!)
*Use Activity Series of Metals to see if reaction works.
Single Replacement Reactions• Another view:
Single Replacement Reactions
• Single Replacement Reaction
Mg + CuSO4 MgSO4 + Cu
General form: A + BC AC + B
Here is a mixture of aluminum powder and iron (III) oxide powder. Once ignited the aluminum rips the oxygen off of the iron oxide resulting in molten iron, which falls down to thepot of sand below. One time someone used wet sand, which was a mistake because the molten iron turned the water to steam instantly. This sprayed molten iron all over the front two rows of students.
Write the balanced equation for this reaction.
2 Al + Fe2O3 2 Fe + Al2O3
We have looked at several reactions:Such experiments reveal trends. The Activity Series of Metals ranks the relative reactivity of metals.Used predict if single displacement reactions will occur: metals near the top are most reactive and will displacing metals near the bottom.Q: Which of these will react?
Fe + CuSO4 Ni + NaCl Li + ZnCO3 Al + CuCl2
Cu + Fe2(SO4)3Yes, Fe is above CuNR (no reaction)
No, Ni is below Na
Zn + Li2CO3Cu + AlCl3
Yes, Al is above Cu
LiKCaNaMgAlZnFeNiSnPbH
CuHgAgAu
Yes, Li is above Zn

Single Replacement Reactions• Sodium chloride solid reacts with fluorine gas NaCl(s) + F2(g) NaF(s) + Cl2(g)
Note that fluorine replaces chlorine in the compound
• Aluminum metal reacts with aqueous copper (II) nitrate
• Another example:K2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) KNO3(aq) + BaSO4(s) 2
MnO2 + CO --> Mn2O3 + CO2
Carbon monoxide is commonly used to strip off oxygen atoms from metals.This reaction shows the first step. If more CO is present, eventually all oxygen atoms will be grabbed by CO and manganese (Mn) metal will be left. This is how metal ores get converted to metals.
whenever something reacts with oxygen gas – often producing noticeable heat & light.
• This is also called burning!!!
Combustion is used to heat homes, cook food, and power automobiles. -propane is C3H8 -octane, as in gasoline, is C8H18
-ethane, as in ‘natural gas’, is C2H6
Hydrocarbons are compounds made of hydrogen & carbon. Surprise!There are *gobs of energy stored in the bonds between carbon atoms!When we burn them (react them with O2)we release that stored energy to do work for us!
Combustion of Hydrocarbons
*Important scientific term!
Complete Combustion of Hydrocarbons• Meaning – enough oxygen to
react with all of the carbon!
• Products are ALWAYS carbon dioxide and water.
• In general:
CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O
• Incomplete Combustion does cause some by-products like carbon monoxide & elemental carbon. (CO & C)It occurs when oxygen can’t get to all the carbon atoms fast enough.*Hint: If you see CO and/or C as products it is incomplete combustion!
Incomplete Combustion of Hydrocarbons

Combustion of Hydrocarbons
• *Balance C’s, then H’s. Save O’s for last!• Example:
• C5H12 + O2 CO2 + H2O
• Write the products and balance the following combustion reaction:• C10H22 + O2

• Some steps for Writing Reactions1. Identify the type of reaction2. Predict the product(s) using the type of
reaction as a modelRemember! If you write a formula – You
MUST balance it!3. Balance the equation (using coefficients)Don’t forget about the diatomic elements!
(BrINClHOF or HON 7) For example, Oxygen is O2 as an element.
In a compound, it can’t be a diatomic element because it’s not an element anymore, it’s part of a compound!
PracticeIdentify the type of reaction for each of the
following synthesis or decomposition reactions, and write the balanced equation:
