G-chemical bonds
H-elements
I-chemical reactions
J-products
Answers
Answer:
hemical Reactions and Equations
Chemical Reaction the process by which one or more substances
are changed into one or more different substances
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O
__________________ ________________
the original substances the resulting substances
what reacts with what
* the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the
products (Law of Conservation of Mass)
Chemical Equation something that uses formulas and symbols to
represent the relative amounts of the reactants
and products of a chemical reaction
(NH4)Cr2O7 (s) N2 (g) + Cr2O3 (s) + 4H2O (g)
Evidence of a Chemical Reaction
1. Evolution of heat and light
2. Production of a Gas (bubbles)
3. Formation of a precipitate
4. Color change
a solid that is produced as a result of a
chemical reaction in solution and that
separate from the solution
Characteristics of Chemical Equations
1. The equation must represent known facts
all reactants and products must be identified through chemical
analysis
2. The equation must contain the correct formulas for the reactants and
products
diatomics H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I represented H2 N2 etc...
other elements represented by their chemical symbols (Fe, C, Si, etc..)
3. The law of conservation of mass must be satisfied
atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions
the same # of atoms of each element must appear on each side of the
chemical equation
Coefficients are added when necessary
a small whole # that appears in front of a
formula in a chemical equation
represents # of moles of the substance
3 CH4 4 H2O
Symbols used in Chemical Equations
(s) reactants or products in the solid state
(l) reactants or products in the liquid state
(g) reactants or products in the gaseous state
(aq) reactants or products in the aqueous state (dissolved in water)
heat or
2 atm
yields, indicates result of reaction
used in place of single arrow to show that a reaction is reversible
reactants are heated
shows pressure at which reaction is carried out
