    Chapter 6: Chemical Reactions

     Identify a chemical reaction.


     Write balanced chemical equations.
     If we could see the atoms and molecules that
    compose matter, we could easily identify a
    chemical reaction:
     Atoms combine with other atoms to form compounds.
     New molecules form.
     The original molecules decompose.
     Atoms in one molecule change places with atoms in
    another.
     Visible evidence of a
    chemical reaction include:
     A color change
     The formation of a solid
    (precipitate) in a previously
    clear solution
     The formation of a gas when
    you add a substance to a
    solution
     A change in energy (heat, light)
     Chemical reactions may occur without
    any obvious signs, yet chemical analysis
    may show that a reaction has indeed
    occurred.
     Which changes involve a chemical
    reaction?
     Ice melting
     The formation of hydrogen and oxygen
    gas from passing electricity through water
     Iron rusting
     Bubbles forming when opening a pop can
     Determine if a chemical reaction has
    occurred in the following:
     Determine if a chemical reaction has
    occurred in the following:
     Determine if a chemical reaction has
    occurred in the following:
     Chemical reactions are represented
    with chemical equations.
     We often specify the state of each
    reactant or product in parentheses next
    to the formula.
     The reaction occurring in a natural gas
    flame is methane reacting with oxygen
    to form carbon dioxide and water.
     How many oxygen atoms are on each
    side of the equation?

     How many hydrogen atoms are on each


    side of the equations?
     Atoms cannot simply appear or
    disappear in chemical equations. We
    must account for the atoms on both
    sides of the equation.
     To balance an equation, we insert
    coefficients (not subscripts) in front of
    the chemical formulas as needed to
    make the number of each type of atom
    in the reactants equal to the number of
    each type of atom in the products.
    Solid aluminum reacts with aqueous sulfuric acid to
    form aqueous aluminum sulfate and hydrogen gas.
    1. If needed, write a skeletal equation by writing
    correct chemical formulas for each of the
    reactants and products.
    2. If an element occurs in only one compound on
    both sides of the equation, balance it first. If there
    is more than one such element, balance metals
    before nonmetals.
    Al(s) + H2SO4(aq)  Al2(SO4)3 + H2(g)
    3. If an element occurs as a free element on either
    side of the chemical equation, balance it last.
    Always balance free elements by adjusting the
    coefficient on the free element.
    Al(s) + 3H2SO4(aq)  Al2(SO4)3 + H2(g)
    4. Check to make certain the equation is balanced by
    summing the total number of each type of atom
    on both sides of the equation.
    2Al(s) + 3H2SO4(aq)  Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2(g)
    Al Al
    H H
    S S
    O O
     Remember, change only the coefficients
    to balance a chemical equation; never
    change the subscripts.
     Write a balanced equation for each of the
    following:
     Solid silicon dioxide reacts with solid carbon to
    produce solid silicon monocarbide and carbon
    monoxide gas.
     Liquid octane (C8H18) and oxygen gas to form
    gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
