  3. Chemical Reactions • Chemical Change– the rearrangement of the atoms in a substance that creates new products with different chemical properties • Chemical Reaction-- the process in which one or more substances undergo a chemical change • Change in energy Energy can be released (heat, light, sound) or absorbed • Occur at different rates: a reaction can be slow or fast (a catalyst is used to speed up reactions)

  4. Demos Q: How do we know a chemical change has occurred? Observe: Demo 1– lead nitrate + potassium iodide Demo 2– baking soda + citric acid solution

  5. Clues to a Chemical Reaction • Change in colour • Precipitate forms • Energy is released or absorbed • Gas is produced • Difficult to reverse REMEMBER: A change in state or dissolving a substance is a physical change-- NOT a chemical change

  6. How can we speed up a chemical reaction? • Increase the temperature • Increase the surface area • Increase reactant concentration • CATALYST: A substance that makes a chemical reaction go faster WITHOUT being consumed.

  7. Chemical Equations • Using words or symbols and formulas to represent a chemical reaction • Starting materials= “reactants” • New substances= “products” • An arrow is read as “produces” • States of matter are in brackets (s)= solid (l)= liquid (g)= gas (aq)= dissolved in water REACTANTS  PRODUCTS

  8. Word Equations • Words represent the chemical reaction REMEMBER: any compound that is not molecular, check the criss cross rule first. Example: Lithium + Aluminum Chloride  Aluminum + Lithium Chloride

  9. Skeleton Equations • An unbalanced equation that represents the chemical formulas of reactants and products Ex. Na + O2 Na2O Rules: • Write the symbol of a metal NOT in a compound • If the non-metal is part of hockey stick and puck, write it as a diatomic molecule (H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) • Write the formula of other compounds using rules you have learned

  10. Law of Conservation of Mass • In a chemical reaction…The total mass of reactants EQUALS the total mass of products because elements cannot be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. They can only be rearranged!

  11. Formula Equations • Formulas represent reactions • Include states of matter • Coefficients show how the ratios of different substances in the chemical reaction Ex. 2 N2 (g) + 5 O2 (g)  2 N2O5 (s)

  12. Balancing Chemical Formulas Some tips: • Balance polyatomic ions first if the same ion is on both sides of the equations • Balance all other elements other than H and O • Balance H • Balance O

  13. Examples • FeCl3 + NaOH Fe(OH)3 + NaCl • Cu + AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + Ag • C5H12 + O2  CO2 + H2O • C2H6 + O2  CO2 + H2O
