Writing Chemical Equations

Writing Chemical Equations
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
 Write equations describing chemical reactions using appropriate symbols;

 Write balanced chemical equations when given the names or formulas of the reactants and
products in a chemical reaction

Prayer
Greeting
Checking of Attendance
Before we start our class for today, kindly arranged (Students follow the instructions properly)
your chairs properly and pick up the pieces of dirt.
Last meeting , we discussed about chemical equation.

Now, will you define what is a chemcal equation? Chemical equation illustrates the formulas and quantities
of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Okay, correct!
You have mentioned about reactants and products, will
you differentiate the two? Reactants are substances that start a chemical reaction
(given on the left-hand side)while product are substances
that are produced in the reaction (given on the right-hand
side).
Very good!
Engage
Chemical reactions are continually taking place in us

and around us. Will you name or cite an examples? Answers may vary!
Possible Answers:
 Digestion of Food
 Photosynthesis
 Respiration
 Battery in car
 Gasoline
 Rust

Group Activity: Guessing Symbols
Each group are tasked to identify which symbols are

used in an equations through a series of flash cards to be
given to each group. They are also asked to explain the
used of each symbols.
+ Answers:
1) used to separate two reactants or two products
= 2) “yields”, separates reactants from products
3) An alternative to
4) used in place of a for reversible
(s) reactions
5) Designates a reactant or product in the solid state
6) Alternative to (s)
(l) 7) Designates a reactant or product in the liquid state
(aq) 8) Designates an aqueous solution
(g) 9) Designates a reactant or product in the gaseous
state
10) Alternative to (g)
11) Indicates that heat is supplied to the reaction

Presentation of outputs of each group.
Elaborate
All chemical reactions, whether simple or complex,

involve changes in substances. One or more starting
substances, the reactants, are changed into one or more
new substances, the products. In a chemical reaction the
ways in which atoms are joined together are changed.
Bonds are broken and new bonds are formed as reactants
are converted into products. The atoms are not created
or destroyed. They are just reaaranged.
Chemical reactions can be described in different ways.
For the example of rusting we could say: “Iron reacts with
oxygen to produce iron(III) oxide (rust). Alternatively, we
could identify the reactants and product in this reaction
by writing a word equation.
Iron + oxygen iron (III) oxide
In a word equation, the reactants are written on the left

and the products are written on the right. They are
connected by an arrow that is read as yields or reacts to
produce.
On the other hand, we have also what we called skeleton

equation which is a chemical equation that does not
indicate the relative amounts of the reactants and
products.
Example:
Fe(s) + O2(g) Fe2O3(s)
Another example:
Write a skeleton equation for this chemical reaction:
When calcium carbonate is heated, calcium oxide and
carbon dioxide are produced. Solution:
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
Write a sentence that completely describes the chemical

reaction shown in this skeleton equation.
NaHCO3(S) + HCL(aq) NaCl(aq) = H2O (l) + CO2 Solid sodium bicarbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to
produce aqueous sodium chloride, water and carbon
dioxide gas.
