Chemical Reactions


A chemical reactions are
______________________.
Recall: chemical changes are when
one or more substances are changed
into different substances
• Examples: wood burning, metal rusting
Indications of a Chemical Reaction

Certain easily observed changes
indicate that a chemical reaction has
occurred:
 _______________by heat and/or light
color change
production of _________
production of __________

A solid that is produced as a result of a
chemical reaction in solution and that
separates from the solution is known as a
precipitate
Law of Conservation of Matter

Chemical reactions obey the Law of
Conservation of Matter


in all chemical and physical changes,
matter is neither created or destroyed

Chemical Equations



A chemical equation represents, with symbols
and formulas, the identities and the amounts of
the reactants and products in a chemical
reaction.
Has two parts:
• Reactants: __________________________
• Products: ____________________________
The reactants turn into the products
4 Fe + 3 O2  2 Fe2O3
Reactants  products
Ways to Express a Chemical
Reaction
The way atoms are joined is changed in a
chemical reaction.
Can be described several ways:
1. In a sentence

Copper reacts with chlorine to form copper (II)
chloride.
2. In a word equation
Copper + chlorine  copper (II) chloride
3. In formula equation:
Cu + Cl2  CuCl2

platinum.
What is a catalyst?


A catalyst is _______________
___________________, without
being changed or used up by the
reaction.
Enzymes are biological or protein
catalysts.

Balancing Chemical
Equations
Skeleton and Balanced
Equations


_____________________do not
indicate how many of each
element/compound
_______________________the
number of atoms of each
element is the same on both
sides of the reaction.
Numbers in Balanced Equations



Use coefficients to balance equation
Coefficients: _______________________
______________which represents
number of units of that compound
Subscript: small whole number placed in
chemical formula to represent number of
atoms of an element in a compound
4 Fe + 3 O2
Coefficient
 2 Fe2O3
subscript
Balanced Equation



A balanced equation has the
_____________________ of
each element on both sides of
the equation
Atoms can’t be created or
destroyed
All the atoms at the beginning
must appear in the end
C

C + O2  CO
We need one more oxygen in the
products.
Can’t change the formula, because it
describes what it is (carbon

Rules for balancing:
 Assemble, write the correct formulas for



all the reactants and products
Count the number of atoms of each type
of element appearing on both sides
Balance the atoms of an element one at a
time by adding coefficients (the numbers
in front) - save H and O until LAST!
Check to make sure it is balanced.

Never change a subscript to balance an
equation.
• If you change the formula you are
describing a different reaction.
• H2O is a different compound than H2O2

Never put a coefficient in the middle of
a formula
• 2 NaCl is okay, Na2Cl is not.
Balancing Equations Examples

H2 (g) + O2 (g) 

Zn +

Pb (NO3)2 +
HCl

H2O (l)
H2 +
K2S 
ZnCl2
PbS + KNO3
Word Equation Examples

Write a balanced chemical equation
for the following:
Aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid
and sodium hydroxide react to form
aqueous sodium sulfate and water.

Synthesis (Composition)
________________________
Single-Replacement

Combustion
By knowing the type of reaction that is
occurring, you can predict the products
that will be formed.
General Types of Chemical
Reactions





Combination:
A + B  AB
Decomposition:
AB  A + B
Single Replacement :
AX +B  A + BX
Double Replacement:
AX + BY  AY + BX
Combustion:
CxHy+ O2  CO2 + H2O
Synthesis (Combination)
General form: A + B  AB
____________________________
A, B = elements or compounds
AB = compound consisting of A and B
This is the only type of chemical reaction in which
there is a single product formed. This single product is
always more complex than the reactants.
Examples of Synthesis Reactions
a. calcium + oxygen yields calcium oxide
2Ca + O2  2CaO
b. carbon dioxide + water yields carbonic acid
CO2
+
H2O 
H2CO3
Notice: All equations show two (or more) reactants,
but only one product.

Decomposition Reactions
(Decomposing = breaking down into
smaller parts; microorganisms)
 _______________________________
______________________________The
opposite of direct combination/synthesis.
 You can identify this reaction because
there is only one reactant.
General form: AB  A + B
AB = compound
A, B = elements or simpler compounds

Examples of Decomposition
Reactions

Water yields hydrogen and oxygen
2H2O 
2H2
+
O2
marble (rock) yields (with heating)
calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
CaCO3

CaO
+
CO2
Notice: single compound
decomposes into two (or more)
products.

Double-Replacement Reactions
_______________________________
_______________________________
 Look for: 2 compounds as reactants
and 2 compounds as products.
 Reactants are usually ionic compounds.
 Specific example: neutralization
reactions between acid and base
General form: AX + BY  AY + BX
(Notice: X and Y “change partners”)

Examples of Double Replacement
Reactions

Calcium carbonate and hydrochloric
acid yield calcium chloride and
carbonic acid.
CaCO3 + 2HCl  CaCl2 + H2CO3

Rules of Double-Displacement
Reactions


Reactants must be dissolved in
water (releasing the ions).

2. ______________________________
3. _____________________
Combustion Reactions

Reactants: a fuel (usually a
hydrocarbon) and oxygen.

Products: water, carbon dioxide, and lots
of energy! (heat, light)

Examples:
CH4 (methane) + 2O2  2H2O + CO2
C2H5OH (gasohol) + 3O2  3H2O + 2CO2

active
 Elements at bottom of series are
least active (coinage metals)
