Chapter 8 Chemical Reactions and Equations
Chemical reactions…. • Process by which one or more substances are changed into one or more different substances • described by a chemical equation
4 Signs of a Chemical Reaction: 1. Evolution of heat and light 2. Production of a gas 3. Formation of a precipitate (solid produced as a result of a chem rxn in a sol’n) 4. Color change
Chemical equation • Represents the identities and relative amounts of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction • (NH4)2Cr2O7(s) ---> N2(g) + Cr2O3(s) + 4H2O(g) • Characteristics: • represents the known facts • contains correct formulas for the reactants & products • satisfies the law of conservation of mass (same # and kind of atoms on both sides of the equation)
(NH4)2Cr2O7(s)---> N2(g) + Cr2O3(s) + 4H2O(g) • Formula equation: uses symbols/formulas to represent the reactants and products • Reactants • products • coefficient (understood to be “1” if no # appears) • symbols (p.246)
ammonium dichromate --> nitrogen + chromium(III) oxide + water • Word equation: (previous ex.) • only fulfills ONE characteristic of a chem eq (represents the facts) • 1st step in writing a balanced chemical equation
Steps to write a balanced chemical equation: 1. Write the word equation. 2. Convert the word equation into a formula equation. 3. Include symbols, where known. 4. Balance the equation. NEVER CHANGE A SUBSCRIPT IN BALANCING EQUATIONS!
