Chemical
Reactions
Chemical Reactions
All chemical reactions have two

parts:
1) A substance that undergoes a
reaction is called a reactant.
In other words, reactants are the
substances you start with.
Chemical Reactions
2) When reactants undergo a
chemical change, each new
substance formed is called a
product.
In other words, the products are
the substances you end up with.
Chemical Reactions
The reactants turn into the products.
Reactants Products
Chemical Reactions
In a chemical reaction, the way atoms
are joined is changed.
Atoms arent created or destroyed.
Chemical Reactions
Chemical reactions can be described

several ways.
In a sentence
Copper reacts with chlorine to form
copper (II) chloride.
In a word equation
Copper + chlorine copper (II) chloride

11
What is a Catalyst?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds
up a reaction without being changed
by the reaction.
Enzymes are biological or protein
catalysts.
12
Diatomic Elements
There are 7 elements that never want
to be alone.
They form diatomic molecules.

Product Testing
A test for oxygen gas: Take a glowing

splint and place it in a sample of gas,
if it re-ignites the gas is oxygen.
19
Product Testing
A test for hydrogen gas: Use a
flaming wooden splint. H2 gas will
make a squeaky pop when lit in air.
Care needs to
be taken with
this test
as large
amounts of
hydrogen are
very explosive
in air.
20
Product Testing
A test for carbon dioxide gas: CO2

will extinguish a flame.
21
Product Testing
A second test for

carbon dioxide gas:
CO2 is bubbled
through limewater,
and calcium
carbonate solid is
formed causing the
limewater to become
cloudy.
22
Skeleton Equation
A skeleton formula uses formulas
and symbols to describe a reaction.
All chemical equations are sentences
that describe reactions.

Balancing Chemical
Equations
28
The Balanced Equation

Atoms cant be created or destroyed.
All the atoms we start with we must
end up with.
A balanced equation has the same
number of each element on both
sides of the equation.
29
O
O
C + O2 CO
This equation is NOT balanced.

There is one carbon atom on the left
and one on the right.
There are two oxygen atoms on the
left and only one on the right.
30
O
O
C + O2 CO
We need one more oxygen atom in

the products.
We cant change the formula,
because it describes what it is.
31

In order to have two oxygen atoms,

another CO must be produced.
But where did the other carbon come
from?

34
Rules for Balancing

1. Write the correct formulas for all
the reactants and products.
2. Count the number of atoms of each
type appearing on both sides.
3. Balance the elements one at a time
by adding coefficients (the
numbers in front).
4. Check to make sure it is balanced.
35
Rules for Balancing

Coefficients are used as multipliers.
For example, 2Na2CO3 means that there
are 4 sodium atoms, 2 carbon atoms and
6 oxygen atoms.
36
Never
Never change a subscript to balance an
equation.
If you change the formula you are
describing a different reaction.
37
Never
Never put a coefficient in the middle of
a formula.
2 NaCl is okay; Na2Cl is not.
38
Example
H2 + O2 H2O
Make a table to keep track of where you
are in the balancing process.

product side, so a coefficient of 2
should be placed in front of water.

Balancing Hints
Balance elements in the following

order:
1) metals
2) nonmetals
3) hydrogen
4) oxygen
47
Balancing Hints
If an atom appears more than once on
a side, balance it last.
If you fix everything except one
element, and it is even on one side
and odd on the other, double the first
number, and then move on from there.

Double Replacement
A double replacement reaction will

only happen if one of the products:
doesnt dissolve in water and
forms a solid,
is a gas that bubbles out, or
is a covalent compound usually
water.
178
Example
3NaOH
+ FeCl3 Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl
None of the products are familiar

gases. Both products are ionic (not
covalent) because they start with
metals.
179
Example
3NaOH
We must consult the Solubility Rules

on page 6 of the Chemistry Reference
Tables to determine if a solid (a
precipitate) is formed.
180
Example
3NaOH
The Soluble side of the Solubility

Rules states that Group 1 (IA) salts are
soluble; therefore, NaCl is soluble and
is NOT the precipitate.
181
Example
3NaOH
The Insoluble side of the Solubility

Rules states that all hydroxides except
Group 1, Sr2+, Ba2+ and NH41+ are
INSOLUBLE.
Therefore, Fe(OH)3 is the precipitate
(solid).

Double Replacement
Reactions
DOUBLE REPLACEMENT:
AB + CD AD + CB
b. Acid-Base neutralization
Remember that an acid starts with H

and a base is a metallic hydroxide.
One product will be HOH (H 2O).
191
Example
H2SO3
+ NaOH
The positive ions change place.
You must check to see if you need to

criss-cross the products.
H2SO3 + NaOH Na+1 SO3-2 + H+1OH-1
H2SO3 + NaOH Na2SO3 + H2O

Combustion
A combustion reaction is one in
which a substance rapidly combines
with oxygen to form one or more
oxides.
Combustion reactions involve a
compound composed of only C and
H (and maybe O) that is reacted with
oxygen gas.
195
Combustion
196
Combustion
If the combustion is complete, the

products will be CO2 and H2O.
Combustion reactions produce heat,

and are therefore considered
exothermic reactions.

The Balanced Equation

This equation is NOT balanced.

We need one more oxygen atom in

In order to have two oxygen atoms,

We must have started with two

The balanced chemical equation is

Rules for Balancing

Rules for Balancing

We need twice as much O in the product.

Now we need 4 hydrogen atoms on

A coefficient of 2 should be placed in

The equation is balanced; it has the same

Balance elements in the following

a) CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O

CH4 + 2 O2 CO2 + 2 H2O

f) Pb(NO3)2 + K2CrO4 PbCrO4 + KNO3

Pb(NO3)2 + K2CrO4 PbCrO4 + 2 KNO3

g) MnO2 + HCl MnCl2 + H2O+ Cl2

MnO2 + 4 HCl MnCl2 + 2 H2O + Cl2

h) Ba(CN)2 + H2SO4 BaSO4 + HCN

Ba(CN)2 + H2SO4 BaSO4 + 2 HCN

i) Zn(OH)2 + H3PO4 Zn3(PO4)2 + H2O

3 Zn(OH)2 + 2 H3PO4 Zn3(PO4)2 + 6 H2O

Reactions fall into 5 categories.

Whenever two or more substances

The charges do not add to give

Now the reaction needs to be

b. Metal oxide and water:

CaO is a metallic oxide. A metallic

CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2

Check the balancing.

CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2

The reaction is already balanced!

c. Nonmetal oxide and water:

SO2 is a nonmetallic oxide. A nonmetallic

Ternary acids start with H and end in O.

This is the only compound for which you

SO2 + H2O H2SO3

The reaction is balanced.
