A CHEMICAL EQUATION is a short way describing a chemical reaction in which symbols of the elements and the formulas of compounds represent the change.
C (s) + O2 (g)
CO2 (g)
+
(s) or (l) (g) or (aq)
Heat is supplied
cat
Catalyst is used
Ex. Manganese (II) Oxide as catalyst to decompose aqueous hydrogen peroxide, producing oxygen gas and liquid water.
2H2O2 (aq)
MnO
Word equation changed into symbols and formula to give the chemical equation:
HgO
Hg + O2
Heat
Magnesium Oxide
Word equation changed into symbols and formula to give the chemical equation:
Mg (s) + O2(g)
MgO (s)
The guiding principle used in balancing chemical equations: LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
- Atoms are neither created nor destroyed but merely rearranged during a chemical change.
A balanced chemical reaction must include same number of each kind of atoms on both sides of the equation:
2 MgO (s)
oThe number is called COEFFICIENT. oIt serves as multiplier for the whole formula

GOAL
write chemical equations from descriptions of chemical reactions using appropriate symbols; balance simple chemical equations based on the law of conservation of mass;
1. When dissolved beryllium chloride reacts with dissolved silver nitrate in water, aqueous beryllium nitrate and silver chloride powder was made.
3. When dissolved sodium hydroxide reacts with sulfuric acid, aqueous sodium sulfate, water, and heat are formed.
Cleaning agent Food preparation
4. Plants carry out photosynthesisthe creation of glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water and sunlight;
Self - Reflection
What questions and uncertainties do you still have about chemical reactions? How does what you have learned changed your thinking?
4. When fluorine gas is put into contact with calcium metal at high temperatures, calcium fluoride powder is created in an exothermic reaction.
5. When sodium metal reacts with iron (II) chloride, iron metal and sodium chloride are formed.
6. Magnesium metal reacts with nickel (III) nitrate to form magnesium nitrate and nickel metal.
Mg + Ni(NO3)3 Mg(NO3)2 + Ni
2Mg + 3Ni(NO3)3 2Mg(NO3)2 + 3Ni
7. Copper and sulfuric acid react to form copper (II) sulfate and water and sulfur dioxide.
8. Calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) react to form calcium phosphate and water.
9. Sodium phosphate and calcium chloride react to form calcium phosphate and sodium chloride.
10. Aluminum bromide and chlorine gas react to form aluminum chloride and bromine gas.
