Evıdences for chemıcal Evıdences for chemıcal reactıonsreactıons A gas is released.
An insoluble substance is produced. A permanent color change is observed. Changes in energy.
Heat, light, sound, and electrical. Exothermic reaction: releases heat,light
and sound. Endothermic reaction: absorbs heat and
light. pH change Odor given off

Evıdence of a chemıcal reactıon Evıdence of a chemıcal reactıon usıng your senses:usıng your senses:
Sight- Change in color, formation of solid, formation of gasses (bubbles), light emission
Hearing- reaction leads to a popping noise, fizzes
Smell- pungent odor, change in smell
Touch- heat absorption and emission

All chemical reactions… have two parts:
1. Reactants = the substances you start with
2. Products = the substances you end up with
The reactants will turn into the products.
Reactants Products

In a chemical reaction Atoms aren’t created or destroyed (according
to the Law of Conservation of Mass) A reaction can be described several ways:
#1. In a sentence every item is a word Copper reacts with chlorine to form copper (II)
chloride.
#2. In a word equation some symbols used
Copper + chlorine copper (II) chloride
7
Symbols in equations? the arrow (→) separates the reactants
from the products (arrow points to products)
–Read as: “reacts to form” or yields The plus sign = “and” (s) after the formula = solid: Fe(s)
(g) after the formula = gas: CO2(g)
(l) after the formula = liquid: H2O(l)
8
Symbols used in equations(aq) after the formula = dissolved in
water, an aqueous solution: NaCl(aq) is a salt water solution
used after a product indicates a gas has been produced: H2↑
used after a product indicates a solid has been produced: PbI2↓

Symbols used in equations■ double arrow indicates a
reversible reaction (more later)■ shows that
heat is supplied to the reaction■ is used to indicate a
catalyst is supplied (in this case, platinum is the catalyst)

Pt
10
What is a catalyst? A substance that speeds up a
reaction, without being changed or used up by the reaction.
Enzymes are biological or protein catalysts in your body.
11
The Skeleton EquationUses formulas and symbols to
describe a reaction
–but doesn’t indicate how many; this means they are NOT balanced
All chemical equations are a description of the reaction.
12
Write a skeleton equation for:1. Solid iron (III) sulfide reacts with
gaseous hydrogen chloride to form iron (III) chloride and hydrogen sulfide gas.
2. Nitric acid dissolved in water reacts with solid sodium carbonate to form liquid water and carbon dioxide gas and sodium nitrate dissolved in water.
13
Now, read these equations:
Fe(s) + O2(g) Fe2O3(s)
Cu(s) + AgNO3(aq) Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)
NO2(g) N2(g) + O2(g)
Pt
14
Types of Reactions There are probably millions of reactions. We can’t remember them all, but luckily they
will fall into several categories. We will learn: a) the 5 major types. We will be able to: b) predict the products. For some, we will be able to: c) predict
whether or not they will happen at all.How? We recognize them by their reactants
15
#1 - Combination Reactions Combine = put together 2 substances combine to make one
compound (also called “synthesis”) Ca + O2 CaO
SO3 + H2O H2SO4
We can predict the products, especially if the reactants are two elements.
Mg + N2 Mg3N2 (symbols, charges, cross)
16
Complete: Ca + Cl2 Fe + O2 (assume iron (II) oxide is the product)
Al + O2 Remember that the first step is to write
the correct formulas – you can still change the subscripts at this point, but not later while balancing!
17
#1 – Combination ReactionsAdditional Important Notes:
a) Some nonmetal oxides react with water to produce an acid:
SO2 + H2O →→ H2SO3
b) Some metallic oxides react with water to produce a base:
CaO + H2O →→ Ca(OH)2
(This is what happens to make “acid rain”)
18
#2 - Decomposition Reactionsdecompose = fall apartone reactant breaks apart into two
or more elements or compounds.NaCl Na + Cl2
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
Note that energy (heat, sunlight, electricity, etc.) is usually required
electricity
19
#2 - Decomposition ReactionsWe can predict the products if it is
a binary compound (which means it is made up of only two elements)
–It breaks apart into the elements:H2OHgO
electricity
20
#2 - Decomposition Reactions If the compound has more than
two elements you must be given one of the products
–The other product will be from the missing pieces
NiCO3 CO2 + ___
H2CO3(aq) CO2 + ___
heat
21
Combination Decomposition
Reaction of a metal oxide with water produces a metal hydroxide; that is, a strong base. Reaction of a nonmetal oxide with water produces an oxyacid in which the nonmetal is in the same oxidation state as in the oxide you started with.
Both of these are combination reactions, and both can be reversed by heating the products.
Metal hydroxides decompose on heating to give the metal oxide and water.
Oxyacids decompose on heating to give water and the nonmetal oxide in the appropriate oxidation state.
22
ExamplesExamples
Na2O + H2O NaOH
MgO + H2O Mg(OH)2
SO2 + H2O H2SO3
Cl2O5 + H2O HClO3
HNO3 ∆ N2O5 + H2O
Fe(OH)3 ∆ Fe2O3 + H2O∆: means heating
23
Decomposition ExceptionsDecomposition Exceptions
Carbonates and chlorates are special Carbonates and chlorates are special case decomposition reactions that do case decomposition reactions that do not go to the elements.not go to the elements.
• Carbonates (CO32-) decompose to
carbon dioxide and a metal oxide• Example: CaCO3 CO2 + CaO
• Chlorates (ClO3-) decompose to
oxygen gas and a metal chloride• Example: 2 Al(ClO3)3 2 AlCl3 + 9 O2
24
#3 - Single Replacement ReactionsOne element replaces anotherReactants must be an element and a
compound.Products will be a different element
and a different compound.Na + KCl K + NaCl F2 + LiCl LiF + Cl2
(Cations switched)
(Anions switched)
25
#3 Single Replacement Reactions Metals will replace other metals (and they
can also replace hydrogen) K + AlN Zn + HCl Think of water as: HOH
–Metals replace the first H, and then combines with the hydroxide (OH).
Na + HOH
26
#3 Single Replacement Reactions We can even tell whether or not a single
replacement reaction will happen:–Because some chemicals are more
“active” than others–More active replaces less active
There is a list - called the Activity Series of Metals
Higher on the list replaces those lower.
27
The “Activity Series” of Metals Lithium Potassium Calcium Sodium Magnesium Aluminum Zinc Chromium Iron Nickel Lead HydrogenHydrogen Bismuth Copper Mercury Silver Platinum Gold
1) Metals can replace other metals, provided they are above the metal they are trying to replace (for example, zinc will replace lead)
2) Metals above hydrogen can replace hydrogen in acids.
3) Metals from sodium upward can replace hydrogen in water.
Higher activity
Lower activity
28
29
The “Activity Series” of Halogens
Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodine
Halogens can replace other halogens in compounds, provided they are above the halogen they are trying to replace.
2NaCl(s) + F2(g) 2NaF(s) + Cl2(g)
MgCl2(s) + Br2(g) ???No Reaction!
???
Higher Activity
Lower Activity
30
#3 Single Replacement Reactions Practice:
Fe + CuSO4
Pb + KCl
Al + HCl
31
#4 - Double Replacement Reactions Two things replace each other.
–Reactants must be two ionic compounds, in aqueous solution
NaOH + FeCl3
–The positive ions change place. NaOH + FeCl3 Fe+3 OH- + Na+1 Cl-1
= NaOH + FeCl3 Fe(OH)3 + NaCl
32
#4 - Double Replacement Reactions Have certain “driving forces”, or reasons
–Will only happen if one of the products:
a) doesn’t dissolve in water and forms a solid (a “precipitate”), or
b) is a gas that bubbles out, or
c) is a molecular compound (which will usually be water).
33
Complete:assume all of the following
reactions actually take place:
CaCl2 + NaOH
CuCl2 + K2S
KOH + Fe(NO3)3
(NH4)2SO4 + BaF2
34
How to recognize which type?Look at the reactants:
E + E =Combination
C = Decomposition
E + C = Single replacement
C + C = Double replacement
35
Practice Examples: H2 + O2
H2O Zn + H2SO4 HgO KBr + Cl2
AgNO3 + NaCl
Mg(OH)2 + H2SO3
36
Total ionic equations Once you write the molecular equation
(synthesis, decomposition, etc.), you should check for reactants and products that are soluble or insoluble.
We usually assume the reaction is in water We can use a solubility table to tell us what
compounds dissolve in water. If the compound is soluble (does dissolve in
water), then splits the compound into its component ions
If the compound is insoluble (does NOT dissolve in water), then it remains as a compound

39
#5 – Combustion Reactions Combustion means “add oxygen” Normally, a compound composed of
only C, H, (and maybe O) is reacted with oxygen – usually called “burning”
If the combustion is complete, the products will be CO2 and H2O.
If the combustion is incomplete, the products will be CO (or possibly just C) and H2O.
40
Combustion Reaction Examples:
C4H10 + O2 (assume complete)
C4H10 + O2 (incomplete)
C6H12O6 + O2 (complete)
C8H8 + O2 (incomplete)
41
The moleThe mole
mole (mol)- SI Unit for the amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12.
A unit of counting, like the dozen.
42
Avogadro’s NumberAvogadro’s Number
6.02 x 1023
1 mole of 12C has a mass of 12 g
43
Molar massMolar mass
By definition, these are the mass of 1 mol of a substance (i.e., g/mol)
– The molar mass of an element is the mass number for the element that we find on the periodic table
– The formula weight (in amu’s) will be the same number as the molar mass (in g/mol)
44
Using molesUsing moles
Moles provide a bridge from the molecular scale to the real-world scale
45
Mole relationshipsMole relationships
One mole of atoms, ions, or molecules contains Avogadro’s number of those particles
One mole of molecules or formula units contains Avogadro’s number times the number of atoms or ions of each element in the compound
46
Three basic laws of Three basic laws of matter:matter:
Law of conservation of massLaw of definite proportionsLaw of multiple proportions
47
Law of Conservation of Mass- Law of Conservation of Mass- mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical reactions or physical changes.
CH4 + 2O2 → 2H2O + CO2
16g + 64g → 36g + 44g
Antoine Lavoisier
stated this about 1785
48
Law of Definite ProportionsLaw of Definite Proportions – no matter how much salt you have, it is always 39.34% Na and 60.66% Cl by mass.
Example: Sodium chloride always contains 39.34% Na and 60.66% Cl by mass.
2NaCl → 2Na + Cl2
100g → 39.34g + 60.66g116.88g → ? + ?
Joseph Louis Proust stated this in 1794.
49
Law of Multiple ProportionsLaw of Multiple Proportions- Two or more elements can combine to form different compounds in whole-number ratios.
Example
John Dalton proposed this in 1803.

Balanced Chemical Balanced Chemical EquationsEquations
51
Stoichiometry is…Stoichiometry is… Greek for “measuring elements”
Pronounced “stoy kee ahm uh tree” Defined as: calculations of the
quantities in chemical reactions, based on a balanced equation.
There are 4 ways to interpret a balanced chemical equation
52
In terms of In terms of ParticlesParticles An Element is made of atoms A Molecular compound (made of
only nonmetals) is made up of molecules (Don’t forget the diatomic elements)
Ionic Compounds (made of a metal and nonmetal parts) are made of formula units
53
Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O Two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen form two molecules of water.
Another example: 2Al2O3 Al + 3O2
2formula unitsAl2O3 form 4 atoms Al
and3moleculesO2
Now read this: 2Na + 2H2O 2NaOH + H2
54
In terms of In terms of MolesMoles The coefficients tell us how
many moles of each substance
2Al2O3 Al + 3O2
2Na + 2H2O 2NaOH + H2
Remember: A balanced equation is a Molar Ratio
55
In terms of In terms of MassMass The Law of Conservation of Mass applies We can check mass by using moles.
2H2 + O2 2H2O
2 moles H2
2.02 g H2
1 mole H2
=4.04 g H2
1 mole O2
32.00 g O2
1 mole O2
=32.00 g O2
36.04 g H2 + O2
+
56
In terms of Mass (for products)
2H2 + O2 2H2O
2 moles H2O18.02 g H2O1 mole H2O
=36.04 g H2O
36.04 g H2 + O2=36.04 g H2O
The mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.
36.04 grams reactant = 36.04 grams product
57
In terms of In terms of VolumeVolume
At STP, 1 mol of any gas = 22.4 L
2H2 + O2 2H2O (2 x 22.4 L H2) + (1 x 22.4 L O2) (2 x 22.4 L H2O)
NOTE: mass and atoms are ALWAYS conserved - however, molecules, formula units, moles, and volumes will not necessarily be conserved!
67.2 Liters of reactant ≠ 44.8 Liters of product!
58
Mole to Mole conversions
2Al2O3 Al + 3O2
– each time we use 2 moles of Al2O3 we will also make 3 moles of O2
2 moles Al2O3
3 mole O2
or2 moles Al2O3
3 mole O2
These are the two possible conversion factors to use in the solution of the problem.
59
Mole to Mole conversions How many moles of O2 are
produced when 3.34 moles of Al2O3 decompose?
2Al2O3 Al + 3O2
3.34 mol Al2O3 2 mol Al2O3
3 mol O2 =5.01 mol O2
If you know the amount of ANY chemical in the reaction,
you can find the amount of ALL the other chemicals!
Conversion factor from balanced equation
60
Practice: 2C2H2 + 5 O2 4CO2 + 2 H2O
• If 3.84 moles of C2H2 are burned, how many moles of O2 are needed? (9.6 mol)
•How many moles of C2H2 are needed to produce 8.95 mole of H2O? (8.95 mol)
•If 2.47 moles of C2H2 are burned, how many moles of CO2 are formed? (4.94 mol)
61
Steps to Calculate Stoichiometric Problems
1. Correctly balance the equation.
2. Convert the given amount into moles.
3. Set up mole ratios.
4. Use mole ratios to calculate moles of desired chemical.
5. Convert moles back into final unit.
62
Mass-Mass Problem:
6.50 grams of aluminum reacts with an excess of oxygen. How many grams of aluminum oxide are formed?
4Al + 3O2 2Al2O3
=6.50 g Al
? g Al2O3
1 mol Al
26.98 g Al 4 mol Al
2 mol Al2O3
1 mol Al2O3
101.96 g Al2O3
(6.50 x 1 x 2 x 101.96) ÷ (26.98 x 4 x 1) = 12.3 g Al2O3
are formed
63
Another example:Another example: If 10.1 g of Fe are added to a
solution of Copper (II) Sulfate, how many grams of solid copper would form?
2Fe + 3CuSO4 Fe2(SO4)3 + 3Cu
Answer = 17.2 g CuAnswer = 17.2 g Cu
64
“Limiting” Reagent If you are given one dozen loaves of
bread, a gallon of mustard, and three pieces of salami, how many salami sandwiches can you make?
The limiting reagent is the reactant you run out of first.
The excess reagent is the one you have left over.
The limiting reagent determines how much product you can make
65
Limiting Reagents - Combustion
66
How do you find out which is limited?How do you find out which is limited?
The chemical that makes the least amount of product is the “limiting reagent”.
You can recognize limiting reagent problems because they will give you 2 amounts of chemical
Do two stoichiometry problems, one for each reagent you are given.
67
If 10.6 g of copper reacts with 3.83 g sulfur, how many grams of the product (copper (I) sulfide) will be formed? 2Cu + S Cu2S
10.6 g Cu 63.55g Cu 1 mol Cu
2 mol Cu 1 mol Cu2S 1 mol Cu2S
159.16 g Cu2S
= 13.3 g Cu2S
3.83 g S 32.06g S 1 mol S
1 mol S 1 mol Cu2S
1 mol Cu2S
159.16 g Cu2S
= 19.0 g Cu2S
= 13.3 g Cu2S
Cu is the Limiting
Reagent, since it
produced less product.
68
Another example:Another example: If 10.3 g of aluminum are reacted with
51.7 g of CuSO4 how much copper (grams) will be produced?
2Al + 3CuSO4 → 3Cu + Al2(SO4)3
the CuSO4 is limited, so Cu = 20.6 g How much excess reagent will remain?
Excess = 4.47 gramsExcess = 4.47 grams
69
What is Yield?What is Yield? Yield is the amount of product made in a
chemical reaction. There are three types:
1. Actual yield- what you actually get in the lab when the chemicals are mixed
2. Theoretical yield- what the balanced equation tells should be made
3. 3. Percent yieldPercent yield = Actual Theoretical
x 100
70
Example: 6.78 g of copper is produced when
3.92 g of Al are reacted with excess copper (II) sulfate.
2Al + 3 CuSO4 Al2(SO4)3 + 3Cu
What is the actual yield?
What is the theoretical yield?
What is the percent yield?
= 6.78 g Cu= 6.78 g Cu
= 13.8 g Cu= 13.8 g Cu
= 49.1 %= 49.1 %
71
Details on YieldDetails on Yield Percent yield tells us how “efficient” a
reaction is. Percent yield can not be bigger than
100 %. Theoretical yield will always be larger
than actual yield!– Why? Due to impure reactants; competing
side reactions; loss of product in filtering or transferring between containers; measuring
