1 Chemical Reactions and Equations What is a Chemical Reaction? A chemical reaction is a chemical change. A chemical reaction occurs when one or more substances is converted into one or more new substances. change : a substance that we start with that undergoes a : a new substance that forms during the reaction Products differ from reactants only in the arrangement of their component atoms. Physical evidence of a chemical reaction MAY include: - Change in color - Formation of a gas - Production of light - Formation of a solid - Change in heat Writing Chemical Equations : a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction. A equation will show: the formulas for reactants and products the physical states of each substance - subscripts after formulas - (s), (l), (g) or (aq) relative numbers of reactants and products - expressed as coefficients in front of formulas special conditions required for the reaction - Written over arrow 5-3 1

2 5.3 Writing Chemical Equations When hydrogen gas is ignited in the presence of oxygen, an explosive reaction occurs producing gaseous water molecules. Is mass conserved? Writing Chemical Equations : The number of atoms of each element is the same in the products as in the reactants. When a powdered mixture of aluminum metal and iron(iii) oxide is heated, it reacts to form liquid iron metal and aluminum oxide. Al (s) + Fe 2 O 3(s) Al 2 O 3(s) + Fe (l) The reaction is balanced with coefficients: Writing Chemical Equations 1. Identify the reactants and products write their correct formulas Watch for diatomic molecules 2. Write a skeletal equation include physical states. 3. Change coefficients one at a time until the atoms of each element are balanced. start with the elements that occur least often save O & H for last if polyatomic ions are not broken up in a reaction, treat them as a unit 4. Double check balance are all the elements balanced? can coefficients be reduced? 5-6 2
