Chemical equations, Energy of


Reactions, Rates of reactions,
Limiting reactants
Intro Vocabulary
Chemical reaction is the changing of substances
to other substances by the breaking of bonds in
reactants and the formation of bonds in the
products
-when some chemicals come into contact, they
break apart, join, or rearrange to form new
chemicals (always to become more stable)
Chemical equations are shorthand
representations of chemical reactions.
Some more vocabulary
Reactants are the elements or compounds
that enter into a reaction
Products are the elements or compounds
that are formed as a result of a chemical
reaction
Arrow () means yields, produces or
forms
Reactant(s)  product(s)
Al2(SO4)3 + Ca(OH)2  Al(OH)3 + CaSO4

Skeleton equation - Consists of symbols and


subscripts (An unbalanced formula equation.)
 Symbols: element, yield (), combining (+)

 Subscript: small number found below the


element symbol representing the number of
atoms of each element present
Al2(SO4)3 + Ca(OH)2  Al(OH)3 + CaSO4

Name the reactants (everything left of arrow)


 Aluminum sulfate & Calcium hydroxide

Types & number of atoms in each reactant


 Aluminum sulfate

Al = 2 S=3 O = 12
 Calcium hydroxide

Chemical equations can be shown by

1. Word equation
Carbon dioxide gas reacts with
dihydrogen monoxide gas to form
solid carbonic acid
2. Formula equation
CO2(g) + H2O(g)  H2CO3(s)
Let’s start with a formula equation
H2 + O2  H2O
How many hydrogens & oxygens in reactants?
H=2 O=2
How many hydrogens & oxygens in products?
H=2 O=1
What is wrong with this chemical equation?
Two oxygen atoms in reactants and only one
oxygen is in the product!!
So we must…
BALANCE the chemical equation!!
Balancing equations why & how
Why do we balance equations?
 Law of conservation of mass

-atoms are not created or destroyed in an


ordinary chemical reaction, just
rearranged to form new substances
What is used to balance chemical equations?
 Coefficients

-the number before the chemical formula


(the number is written normal size – not
superscript or subscript)
Think about this…
• You want to make a bicycle out of the
following parts: frame, wheel, handlebar,
pedal, seat

• Write the word equation for making a bicycle:


frame + wheel + handlebar + pedal + seat  bicycle

• Is the equation balanced?


No
frame + 2 wheels + handlebar + 2 pedals + seat  bicycle
Counting molecules/compounds
How many molecules of each of the following
compounds are present in this equation?
Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(OH)2  2Al(OH)3 + 3CaSO4
 Reactants:

Al2(SO4)3 = 1 (when only 1 = no number)


Ca(OH)2 = 3 (large 3 in front)
 Products:

Al(OH)3 = 2 (large 2 in front)


CaSO4 = 3 (large 3 in front)
Steps to Balancing Equations
1. Determine the number of each element in
reactants and in products
2. Balance
A. Polyatomic ions (if same poly. ion
on both sides  balance as a chunk)
B. Metals
C. Nonmetals

Using state symbols
When writing chemical equations, the state of each
product or reactant may be labeled with the following
abbreviations
(s) = solid
(g) = gas
(l) = liquid
(aq) = aqueous (solid dissolved in a
liquid, usually water)
NOTE: If the states of matter are not included, you will
NOT need to include them. If the states of matter are
present, you MUST include them!
7 Diatomic Molecules
7 elements can not exist as single elements –
must exist in pairs if it is JUST that element
H O N Cl Br I F

These 7 are always H2, O2, N2, Cl2, Br2, I2, F2

Never just write H, O, N, Cl, Br, I, F without


being bonded to another element.

H20 is okay – WHY?


Because O is bonded to another element
Steps to using word equation to form
formula equations:
1)     Write formulas / symbols
2)    Check for diatomic molecule
3)    Add state symbols (if given)
4) Balance (if can’t balance, then
recheck formulas!!)

5 Basic Types of Reactions
Synthesis Reaction
 Two or more substances combine to form
a single substance.
 Also known as a combination reaction.

 A + B  AB

 always forming 1 product

 Example: 2K + Cl2  2KCl


5 Basic Types of Reactions
Decomposition Reaction
 A single compound is broken down into
two or more products.
 AB  A + B

 always having 1 reactant

 Example: CaCO3  CaO + CO2


5 Basic Types of Reactions
Single Replacement (Displacement) Reaction
 one element replaces another element in a
compound (also called single displacement)
 AB + C  AC + B

 Always a compound + element as reactants

 Example:

Mg + Zn(NO3)2  Mg(NO3)2 + Zn
(Mg is Cation so replaces the
cation in the compound)
5 Basic Types of Reactions
Double Replacement (Displacement) Reaction
 the positive ions are exchanged between two
reacting compounds (also called double
displacement)
 AB + CD  AD + CB

 Always a compound + compound as reactants

 Example: BaCl2 + K2CO3  BaCO3 + 2KCl

(Ba & K are the cation that switch


places forming the new compounds)

Single Replacement: A + BC  AC + B
Double Replacement: AB + CD  AD +
CB
Combustion: CxHY + O2  CO2 + H2O
Information from chemical
formulas
The types of atoms that are bonded
the ratio of atoms in the compound or
molecule
the “formula mass” of the compound or
molecule (sometimes called molar mass)
Calculating Formula Mass
Formula mass can be calculated in amu’s or
g’s of a substance by multiplying the number
of atoms of each element by the mass in
amu’s or g’s of the element. Then add the
values together. (YES, sig figs COUNT!!!)
Example: CaSO4
(# atoms each element x mass = total mass of element in compound)
 1 Ca x 40.08g = 40.08 g
 1S x 32.06g = 32.06g +
 4O x 15.999g = 63.996g
+
Then add masses of all elements together
136.14 g
The Mole
In chemistry one mole is equal to 6.022 x 1023
particles (Avogadro’s number).
The gram formula mass of any compound is
the mass of 1 mole of the compound in grams.
1 mole = 6.0022 x 1023 is similar to
 12 eggs = 1 dozen

 52 weeks = 1 year

 1 gross = 144
Percent Composition
The percent composition of a compound is the
mass of each element in a compound relative to the
total mass of the compound
Found by dividing the mass of the element by the
mass of the compound and multiplying the answer
by 100 percent
Example CaSO4
 Ca=40.08 g (40.08g/136.14g) x 100%= 29.44%
 S =32.06g (32.06g/136.14g) x 100%= 23.55%
 O =63.996g (63.996g/136.14g)x100%=47.007%

FM = 136.14g
Limiting Reactants
The limiting reactant is the reactant that determines
the maximum amount of product that is formed.
The limiting reactant will be completely used up in a
reaction and then the reaction stops.
The other reactant will have some unchanged so it is
said to be the excess reactant.
For example, if you need to make 10 chicken
sandwiches. You have 10 slices of bread and 10
pieces of chicken. If each sandwich requires 2 slices
of bread and 1 piece of chicken, which is the limiting
reactant? Excess reactant?
Rates of Reactions
The reaction rate is the change in
concentration of reactants and products in a
certain amount of time.
Rate at which the reactants disappear and the
products appear.
Combining two substances (causing a
reaction) means forcing their particles to hit,
or collide with, one another
Collision Theory states that molecules must
collide in order to react
Activation Energy
The activation energy is the energy needed to
start the reaction.
When particles collide with sufficient energy – at
least equal to the activation energy – existing bonds
may be disrupted and new bonds can form
Endothermic reaction – the energy of the product
is greater than that of the reactants (energy is
absorbed into the reaction)
Exothermic reaction – the energy of the products
is lower than that of the reactants (energy is
released from the reaction)
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
1. Nature of Reactants
 Depends on the state of particular reactants
and the complexity of the bonds that have to
be broken and formed in order for the
reaction to proceed
 The more bonds to be broken then the

longer the reaction takes


 A reaction between two gases will be

quicker than a reaction between two


liquids or two solids.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
2. Temperature
 The higher the temperature at which a
reaction occurs, the faster the particles will
move and the more frequent the collisions
 For example, food spoils faster at room
temperature than when it is refrigerated.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
3. Concentration
 Deals with how many particles are there

 An increase in concentration means that there are


more particles within a given volume and thus
smaller spaces between the reacting particles.
 Thus, the higher the concentration of reactants, the
greater the frequency of collisions among their
particles.
 For example, the more people there are in a room
the more people you will bump into as you walk
through the room.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
4. Surface Area
 Surface area deals with the number of
particles that are exposed for reaction.
 The larger the surface area the greater the
number of particles that are exposed for
reaction.
 For example, many small pieces of coal will
burn faster than a lump of coal (small pieces
have more particles exposed to react with
more oxygen particles)
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
5. Catalysts
 A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of
the reaction without itself being used up in the
reaction (doesn’t appear as a reactant or a
product)
 Catalysts lower the activation energy required for
a reaction to occur.
 Thus a catalyst creates a different pathway from
reactants to products – one that requires less
energy.
 Catalysts in the body are enzymes – there to
speed up reactions in the body that are essential
to life.
