Chemical Reactions February 21, 2002 Evidence for Chemical Reactions Color change Precipitation Gas production Changes in temperature Changes in properties Chemical Equations A shorter, easier way to showing chemical reactions using symbols instead of words Chemical Formula – shows the ratio of elements in a compound H2O NaCl CO2 Structure of an Equation Reactants – materials you start with Products – materials you end with Reactant + Reactant ? Product H2 + O2 ? H2O2 Conservation of Mass The amount of matter in a chemical reaction does not change, so the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products Classifying Chemical Reactions Synthesis Decomposition Single Replacement Double Replacement Synthesis Two or more elements combine to form a more complex compound A + B ? AB Hand + kerchief ? handkerchief Example: C + Cl2 ? CCl4 Decomposition Breaks down compounds into simpler substances AB ? A + B Schoolbook ? school + book Example: Al2O3 ? Al + O2 Replacement A reaction in which one element replaces another in a compound, or two elements in different compounds trade places AB + C ? AC + B (Single) AB + CD ? AC + BD (Double) T.V. screen + door knob ? T.V. knob + screen door HCl + NaOH ? H2O + NaCl * * *
