  1. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • Word Equations • To write a word equation, write the names of the reactants to the left of the arrow separated by plus signs; write the names of the products to the right of the arrow, also separated by plus signs. • Reactant + Reactant  Product + Product

  2. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • Methane + Oxygen  Carbon dioxide + Water

  3. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • iron + oxygen  iron(III) oxide

  4. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • Hydrogen Peroxide  Water and Oxygen

  5. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • Chemical Equations • A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction; the formulas of the reactants (on the left) are connected by an arrow with the formulas of the products (on the right). • Na + Cl  NaCl

  6. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • Skeletal Formulas • Write the formulas of the reactants to the left of the yields sign (arrow) and the formulas of the products to the right.

  7. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • A skeleton equation is a chemical equation that does not indicate the relative amounts of the reactants and products. • Here is the equation for rusting: • Fe + O2 Fe2O3

  8. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations • A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the reaction but is not used up in the reaction. • Without Catalyst With Catalyst

  9. 11.1 Writing Chemical Equations

  10. Writing Chemical Equations • Animation 12 • Relate chemical symbols and formulas to the information they communicate.

  11. 11.1 Balancing Chemical Equations • Balancing Chemical Equations

  12. 11.1 Balancing Chemical Equations • To write a balanced chemical equation, first write the skeleton equation. Then use coefficients to balance the equation so that it obeys the law of conservation of mass.

  13. 11.1 Balancing Chemical Equations • This is a balanced equation for making a bicycle. The numbers are called coefficients—small whole numbers that are placed in front of the formulas in an equation in order to balance it.

  14. 11.1 Balancing Chemical Equations • A chemical reaction is also described by a balanced equation in which each side of the equation has the samenumber of atoms of eachelement and mass is conserved.

  15. Balancing Chemical Equations • Simulation 11 • Sharpen your skills by balancing chemical equations.
