Unit 7: Chemical Equations Evidence of a chemical reaction: heat, light, sound, gas emitted, color change, odor A reaction has occurred if the chemical and physical properties of the reactants and products differ. For a reaction to occur, particles of reactants must collide, and with sufficient energy collision theory activation energy: energy needed to start a reaction Chemical reactions release or absorb energy. exothermic reactions endothermic reactions
catalyst: speeds up reaction wo /being consumed it lowers the activation energy (AE) Without catalyst With catalyst AE AE time time Examples: enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions catalytic converters convert CO into CO 2 Reaction Conditions and Terminology Certain symbols give more info about a reaction. (s) = solid (l) = liquid (g) = gas NaCl(s) NaCl(aq) (aq) = aqueous (dissolved in H 2 O)
More on aqueous -- soluble or in solution also indicate that a substance is dissolved in water (usually) -- acids are aqueous solutions Other symbols means yields or produces means heat is added to the reaction MgCO 3 (s) MgO(s) + CO 2 (g) Temp. at which we perform rxn. might be given. C 6 H 5 Cl + NaOH 400 o C C 6 H 5 OH + NaCl The catalyst used might be given. C 2 H 4 (g) + H 2 (g) Pt C 2 H 6 (g) precipitate: a solid product that forms in an aqueous solution reaction NaI(aq) + Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) PbI 2 (s) + NaNO 3 (aq)
Factors that influence the rate of a reaction concentration of reactants To make reaction rate increase particle size temperature mechanical mixing pressure catalyst nature of reactants use one N/A In a reaction: AND atoms are rearranged mass charge are conserved energy Balancing Chemical Equations law of conservation of mass = same # of atoms of each type on each side of equation
solid iron reacts with oxygen gas to yield solid iron (III) oxide Fe 3+ O 2 Fe(s) + O 2 (g) Fe 2 O 3 (s) If all coefficients are 1 _1_Fe(s) + _1_O 2 (g) _1_Fe 2 O 3 (s) + If we change subscripts _1_Fe 2 (s) + _1_O 3 (g) _1_Fe 2 O 3 (s) + Changing a subscript changes the substance. To balance, only modify coefficients. Right now, superscripts don t enter into our balancing picture. 4 Fe(s) + 3 O 2 (g) 2 Fe 2 O 3 (s) + Hint: Start with most complicated substances first and leave simplest substances for last.
