Unit 8: Balancing and Identifying Chemical Reactions Packet Name: 1. Law of Conservation of Mass atoms going into the reaction (reactants) must equal atoms coming out of the reaction (products) C O 2 CO 2 Reactants (left) Products (right) Q: How many carbon on the left? Q:How many carbon on the right? A: 1 atom of carbon A: 1 atom of carbon Q: How many oxygen on the left? Q:How many oxygen on the right? A: 2 atoms of oxygen A: 2 atoms of oxygen This chemical equation is balanced! 2. To balance a chemical equation only add or change coefficients! Thou shalt NOT change subscripts when balancing chemical equations! Again: Do Not Change Subscripts!!!! You can only change Coefficients!! 1
Balancing Act Notes + Practice Name Atoms are not or during a chemical reaction. Scientists know that there must be the number of atoms on each of the. To balance the chemical equation, you must add in front of the chemical formulas in the equation. You cannot or subscripts! 1) Determine number of atoms for each element. 2) Pick an element that is not equal on both sides of the equation. 3) Add a coefficient in front of the formula with that element and adjust your counts. 4) Continue adding coefficients to get the same number of atoms of each element on each side. Mg + O 2 MgO Mg = Mg = O = O = 2
Step-by-Step Example Problem: Step 1: Determine number of atoms for each element. Mg + O 2 MgO Balancing Act Teacher Notes Mg = 1 O = 2 Mg = 1 O = 1 Step 2: Pick an element that is not equal on both sides of the equation. Mg + O 2 MgO Mg = 1 O = 2 Mg = 1 O = 1 Since the O atoms are not equal, we ll target those first! Step 3: Add a coefficient in front of the formula with that element and adjust your counts. Mg + O 2 2 MgO Mg = 1 O = 2 Mg = 1 2 O = 1 2 Adding a 2 in front of MgO will change the number of atoms on the product side of the equation. Step 4: Continue adding coefficients to get the same number of atoms of each element on each side. 2 Mg + O 2 2 MgO Mg = 1 2 O = 2 Mg = 1 2 O = 1 2 Now we need to increase the number of Mg atoms we have on the reactant side. Adding a 2 in front of Mg will give us 2 atoms of Mg and balance the equation. 3

Chemical Reaction Types All chemical reactions can be placed into one of six categories. Here they are, in no particular order: 1) Combustion: A combustion reaction is when oxygen combines with another compound to form water and carbon dioxide. These reactions are exothermic, meaning they produce heat. An example of this kind of reaction is the burning of napthalene: C 10 H 8 + 12 O 2 ---> 10 CO 2 + 4 H 2 O 2) Synthesis: A synthesis reaction is when two or more simple compounds combine to form a more complicated one. These reactions come in the general form of: A + B ---> AB One example of a synthesis reaction is the combination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide: 8 Fe + S8 ---> 8 FeS 3) Decomposition: A decomposition reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction - a complex molecule breaks down to make simpler ones. These reactions come in the general form: AB ---> A + B One example of a decomposition reaction is the electrolysis of water to make oxygen and hydrogen gas: 2 H2O ---> 2 H2 + O2 4) Single displacement: This is when one element trades places with another element in a compound. These reactions come in the general form of: A + BC ---> AC + B One example of a single displacement reaction is when magnesium replaces hydrogen in water to make magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas: Mg + 2 H2O ---> Mg(OH)2 + H2 10
5) Double displacement: This is when the anions and cations of two different molecules switch places, forming two entirely different compounds. These reactions are in the general form: AB + CD ---> AD + CB One example of a double displacement reaction is the reaction of lead (II) nitrate with potassium iodide to form lead (II) iodide and potassium nitrate: Pb(NO3)2 + 2 KI ---> PbI2 + 2 KNO3 11

Types of Reactions Chemical reactions can be categorized into a variety of types. Five common types that we will study are synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single replacement and double replacement. Be familiar enough with the description of each type so that you are able to classify a reaction if given a chemical equation or verbal description. Synthesis: Synthesis reactions involve the formation of more complex compounds (many atoms) from simpler compounds and/or elements. The most common synthesis reaction involves the formation of a compound from its elements. Examples: 2 H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2 H 2 O (g) 3 H 2(g) + N 2(g) 2 NH 3(g) General: A + B AB Synthesis reactions are also referred to as combination, formation, and addition reactions. Decomposition: Decomposition reactions involve the breaking down of more complex compounds (larger, more atoms) into simpler compounds and/or elements. These reactions can often be thought of as being the opposite of synthesis reactions. Decomposition reactions often require heating in order to occur. Examples: 2 H 2 O (l) 2 H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2 KClO 3(s) 2 KCl (s) + 3 O 2(g) General: AB A + B Combustion: Combustion reactions involve the reaction of a substance with oxygen gas (O 2 ). It is often referred to as burning. The products of the reaction are oxides of the elements in the reactants. Hydrocarbon combustion leads to the formation of carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Examples: 2 Mg (s) + O 2(g) 2 MgO (s) CH 4(g) + 2 O 2(g) CO 2(g) + 2 H 2 O (g) General: AB + O 2(g) A x O y + B w O z Some combustion reactions are also synthesis reactions. For instance, the combustion of magnesium leads to the formation of magnesium oxides 1. Synthesis: EX: YOUTUBE EXAMPLES: 14
