Reactions and Equations
chemical reaction: process by which one or more substances are rearranged to form different substances; also called a chemical change
-reactants: the starting substances
-products: resulting, new substances
The law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of the products.
3
Evidence of Chemical Reactions
While some reactions are hard to detect, most provide evidence they have occurred.
1. temperature change
-exothermic-heat released
-endothermic-heat absorbed
2. color change
-by itself it doesn’t necessarily indicate a chemical
change since it is also an indication of a physical
change
4
3. production of a gas
-may see bubbling
-may also produce new odor
4. formation of a precipitate, a solid formed as a
result of a chemical reaction in solution and that
separates from the solution
5. energy change
-light, sound, electricity
5
No matter the method of representation, there is a universal set of symbols all scientists use.
-must always state the physical state of each reactant and product
-arrow always points to the products; most often reactants are written on the left, products on the right
Symbol Meaning
+ plus; separates 2
or more reactants
or products
→ produces, yields,
or forms
(s) solid
(l) liquid
(g) gas
(aq) aqueous; dissolved
in water
6
Chemical Equations
chemical equation: uses chemical formulas to show the identities and relative amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
-must show mass being conserved
# of reactant atoms = # of product atoms
-accomplished by balancing equations
Chemical equations are the representation chemists use to describe chemical reactions.
7
Balancing Chemical Equations
coefficient: number written in front of a reactant or product that states the ratio of amounts for each substance
-usually a whole number
-number ‘1’ is assumed and not written
Steps for balancing equations:
1. Write the skeleton equation for the reaction
2. Count the atoms of elements in the reactants/products
3. Place coefficients in front of each substance; change until the equation is balanced
4. Reduce coefficients to smallest possible ratio
5. Check your work. 8
Note: Never change the subscript in the formula because that changes the identity of the substance.
Example: Hydrogen chloride is formed during the
reaction between hydrogen and chlorine.
1. Write the skeleton equation for the reaction.
hydrogen + chlorine hydrogen chloride
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) HCl (g)
9
2. Count the atoms of elements in the reactants/products
___H2 (g) + ___Cl2 (g) ___HCl (g)
H
Cl
3. Place coefficients in front of each substance; change until the equation is balanced
___H2 (g) + ___Cl2 (g) ___HCl (g)
H
Cl
4. Reduce coefficients to smallest possible ratio
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) 2HCl (g)
5. Check your work. 10
Balancing Equations Practice1. __SnS2 + __O2 __SnO2 + __SO2
2. __C2H6 + __O2 __CO2 + __H2O
3. __Al + __HCl __AlCl3 + __H2
4. __N2 + __H2 __NH3
5. __NaCl + __F2 __NaF + __Cl26. __AgNO3 + __MgCl2 __AgCl + __ Mg(NO3)2
7. __HCl + __CaCO3 __CaCl2 + __H2O + __CO2
8. __CO2 + __H2O __C6H12O6 + __O2

Word Equations
Word equations use words to represent chemical reactions.
Skeleton equation uses chemical formulas to identify the reactants and products.
Chemical equations show conservation of mass by placing coefficients in front of each substance to balance it.
“Iron and chlorine react to produce iron (III) chloride”
word: iron (s) + chlorine (g) iron (III) chloride (s)
skeleton: Fe (s) + Cl2 (g) FeCl3 (s)
chemical: 2Fe (s) + 3Cl2 (g) 2FeCl3 (s)
12
Word Equations
Know
~8 diatomics: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, At2
(red are gases, blue is a liquid and black is a solid)
~nonmetal oxides tend to be gases (CO, SO2, …)
~ionic compounds tend to be solids (watch for aq solution)
~be careful with solubility rules in aq solution
~pure metals are solids (except Hg)
13

16
Classifying Chemical Reactions
There are 4 basic types of reactions:
1. synthesis reaction- 2 or more simple substances combine to form a new, more complex substance
-examples: 2Na + Cl2 2NaCl
a. combustion reaction- a substance combines with
oxygen, releasing a large amount of energy in the form
of heat and light
-ex: 2CH4 + 4O2 2CO2 + 4H2O + energy
17
b. polymerization reaction: reaction in which
monomer units (a small, simple organic molecule)
are bonded together to form a polymer, a large
molecule consisting of many repeating structural
units (monomers)
-addition polymerization: all atoms present in
monomer are present in the polymer product
~ex: ethene (ethylene) polyethylene
H2C=CH2 -CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-
-condensation polymerization: when monomers
containing at least 2 functional groups combine
with the loss of a small by-product, usually water18
2. decomposition reaction - a complex substance breaks down into at least 2 or more simpler substances
-opposite of synthesis reactions
-many require energy to occur (endothermic)
-examples:
a) H2CO3 H2O + CO2
b) electrolysis: decomposition by electric current
19
3. single-displacement reaction - an uncombined element replaces a similar element that is part of a compound
-more reactive element displaces the less reactive one (use activity series; most metals replace H)
-example: 2Na + 2H20 2NaOH + H2
20
4. double-displacement reaction- different atoms (usually ions) in 2 different compounds exchange places to form new compounds
-one of the compounds formed is usually a precipitate, gas, or liquid ~use solubility rules
-example: MgCO3 + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2CO3
Classify each of the reactions (1-5) from Equations Practice 1.
Using this information, you should be able to predict products when given reactants.
21
Reactions in Aqueous Solutions
Some aqueous solutions contain molecules (such as sugar, ethanol).
Others contain ionic compounds (or acids) that break apart, or dissociate, in water to form ions.
-when two aqueous solutions that contain ions react,
a double displacement reaction occurs
-strong electrolytes ionize in water: strong acids,
strong bases, soluble salts
22
Aqueous SolutionsYou need to memorize:
-strong acids: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HClO3
-strong bases: all group IA hydroxides; group IIA hydroxides that include Ba, Sr, Ca
Know:
-gases, pure liquids, solids are non-electrolytes
-H2CO3 decomposes into H2O & CO2
-NH4OH deomposes into H2O & NH3
Remember:
-the products of a double displacement reaction is either a precipitate, liquid or gas.
-Use your solubility rules to determine if a precipitate occurs.23
Aqueous Solutions
Chemists use ionic equations to show the driving force of a chemical reaction.
-complete ionic equation: shows all particles in a
solution
-net ionic equation: shows only the particles that
participate in the reaction (forms a solid, liquid, gas)
-spectator ions: ions that do not participate; they
just ‘watch’
24
Net Ionic EquationsExample:
2NaOH (aq) + CuCl2(aq) 2NaCl (aq) + Cu(OH)2 (s)
2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + Cu+2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + Cu(OH)2 (s)
(notice the solid precipitate is not split up into its ions-this is true for gases and liquids produced as well)
2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + Cu+2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + Cu(OH)2 (s)
2OH-(aq) + Cu+2(aq) Cu(OH)2 (s)
Na+ and Cl- are the spectator ions since they are not part of the formation of Cu(OH)2 (s) 25
