  1. Chemical Reactions and Equations

  2. Chemical Reaction • A process in which one or more substances are converted into new substances with different physical and chemical properties. • Involves 2 types of substances: • Reactant = substance that enters into a chemical reaction • Product = substance produced by a chemical reaction

  3. Chemical Reaction • A condensed statement that uses chemical formulas or names and identifies the reactants and products in a chemical reaction • 2 different forms: • Word equation uses names of reactants and products • Formula equation uses formulas of reactants and products

  4. Reaction: Hydrogen gas combines with Oxygen gas to form water vapor.

  5. Word Equation: Reactants g Products Hydrogen + Oxygen g Water vapor

  6. Formula Equation: Reactants g Products 2H2(g) + O2(g) g 2H2O(g)

  7. 2H2(g) + O2(g) g 2H2O(g) yields

  8. 2H2(g) + O2(g)g 2H2O(g) States of matter: (s) = solid (g) = gas (l) = liquid (aq) = aqueus

  9. 2H2(g) + O2(g) g 2H2O(g) Subscripts = number of atoms of each element in the molecule

  10. 2H2(g) + O2(g) g2H2O(g) Coefficients = the number of molecules or moles of molecules; act as multipliers

  11. Let’s practice one together When lithium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of sulfuric acid, lithium sulfate and water are formed.

  12. What are the reactants? 1. lithium hydroxide 2. sulfuric acid What are the products? 1. lithium sulfate 2. water

  13. Word Equation: Lithium hydroxide + sulfuric acidglithium sulfate + water

  14. FORMULAS Lithium hydroxide LiOH Sulfuric acid H2SO4 Lithium sulfate Li2SO4 Water H2O

  15. Write the formula equation and add in the states of matter for each reactant and product LiOH (s) +H2SO4 (aq) g Li2SO4(aq) +H2O (l)

  16. Looks good, but there’s a problem… LiOH (s) +H2SO4 (aq) g Li2SO4(aq) +H2O (l)

  17. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in any process. This means that mass is not created or destroyed either. For mass to remain constant before and after a chemical reaction, the number of atoms of each element must be the same before and after a chemical reaction.

  18. How do we get the number of atoms of each element to be the same on each side of the equation? BALANCE!!

  19. Reactants 1 Li atom 5 O atoms 3 H atoms 1 S atom Products 2 Li atoms 5 O atoms 2 H atoms 1 S atom LiOH(s) + H2SO4 (aq) g Li2SO4 (aq) + H2O (l) 2 2 2 Li atoms 6 O atoms 6 O atoms 4 H atoms 4 H atoms
