Chemical Reactions•Defined: a change in which one or more substances are converted into new substances
•Reactants= substances that react
•Products= new substances formed
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com4
•Chemical Equations are written in the following format:
• A + B --> C + D (reactants) (products)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com5
Characteristics of Chemical Equations•1)The
equation must contain the correct formulas for both the reactants and products!!
• Remember that some elements exist as diatomic molecules: HOFBrINCl
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com6
Characteristics of Chemical Equations•Other exceptions- phosphorus
is P4 and sulfur is S8.
•All other elements have no subscripts because they do not exist as molecular compounds in nature.

Characteristics of Chemical Equations• 2) Law of conservation of mass• Antoine Lavoisier, a French
chemist, developed the law of conservation of mass in his work with mercury.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com8
•Law of conservation of mass states that the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
•Lavoisier determined this by noting the increase in mass of a metal after being heated in the presence of oxygen.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com9
Significance of the Law of Conservation of Mass• The same number of atoms must
be on each side of a balanced and correct chemical equation.
• To equalize or balance equations, coefficients are placed in front of a formula to specify the relative number of moles of that substance.

Writing Chemical Equations•A chemical
equation is a way to describe a chemical rxn using chemical formulas and other symbols.
•This shorthand method makes it easier for chemists to communicate.

Symbols Used in Writing Chemical Equations• --> means
produces• + plus• (s) solid• (l) liquid• (g) gas• (aq) aqueous
• Heat- reactants are heated
• Light- reactants are exposed to light
• Double arrow means reversible rxn

Balancing Equations
• A balanced equation has the same number of atoms on each side of the equation.
• Treat polyatomic ions as one unit.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com14
Let’s do an Example
• HgO(s) heat--> Hg(l)+ O2
(g)
•How can we balance the equation?
2 2

Choosing Coefficients
•Mostly a trial-and-error process, but it gets easier with practice.
•Let’s try another example:•Iron metal plus oxygen
produces iron(II) oxide
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com16
• Fe(s) + O2(g) --> FeO(s)
•This is the equation that you should have
before it is balanced with coefficients.
•2 Fe(s) + O2(g) --> 2 FeO(s)
•This is the equation that you should have
once it is balanced.

Classifying Chemical Reactions•5 main categories:•Synthesis Rxns•Combustion Rxns•Decomposition Rxns•Single Replacement Rxns•Double Replacement Rxns
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com18
Synthesis Reactions
•Aka: composition reactions•Two or more substances combine to form a new substance.
•Example: hydrogen burns in oxygen to form water.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com19
General scheme of a synthesis reaction• A + X --> AX• There are a few basic types of
synthesis reactions: • 1) reaction of metals with oxygen
to produce oxides
• 2 Mg(s) +O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com20
Types of synthesis reactions• 2) reactions of metals with sulfur
to produce sulfides
• 16 Rb(s) + S8(s) --> 8Rb2S(s)
• Non-metals can also combine with oxygen and sulfides to form compounds.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com21
Types of Synthesis Reactions•3) Reaction of metals with
halogens (group 17 nonmetals)•Sr(s) + Br2(l) --> SrBr2(s)
•4) Synthesis reactions with oxides
•These oxides react with water to form metal hydroxides.
•CaO(s) + H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(s)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com22
Combustion Reactions• Type of synthesis reaction• Characterized by burning.• Occurs when a substance reacts
with oxygen to produce energy in the form of light and heat.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com23
Example of combustion reaction• Propane + oxygen --> carbon
dioxide + water
• C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) --> 3CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
Propane combustion!!!!
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com24
Decomposition Reactions• One substance
breaks down or decomposes into two or more substances.
• Many require the use of heat, light or electricity.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com25
General scheme of Decomposition reactions• AX --> A + X• Examples:• 1) Decomposition of binary compounds• Electrolysis of water is an excellent
example. Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen by adding an electric current.
• See if you can write the balanced equation for the electrolysis reaction described above!
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com26
Types of Decomposition reactions• 1) Decomp of metal carbonates
produces metal oxide and carbon dioxide gas
• CaCO3(s) --> CaO(s) +CO2(g)
• 2) Decomp of metal hydroxides (except group 1 metals) yield metal oxides and water
• Ca(OH)2(s) --> CaO(s) + H2O(g)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com27
Types of Decomposition Reactions• 3) Decomp of metal chlorates to
produce a metal chloride and oxygen
• 4) Decomp of some acids into nonmetal oxides and water
€
2KClO3(s)
heat,MnO2( s ) ⏐ → ⏐ ⏐ ⏐ 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g )
€
H2CO3(aq ) →CO2(g ) + H2O(l )

Single Displacement Reactions• When one element
replaces another in a compound.
• Many of these reactions take place in solution.
• General scheme:A + BC --> AC + B orY + BC --> BY + C
• Silver nitrate and copper metal form copper(II) nitrate and silver metal.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com29
Tips for single replacement reactions• When predicting
products, remember that metals will always be first in a chemical formula or they will be by themselves.
• Also remember that nonmetals or polyatomic ions will be second in a chemical formula, NEVER first!

Types of single replacement rxns• 1) Replacement of one metal by
another
• 2) Replacement of hydrogen in water by a metal to produce metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas
€
2Al(s) + 3Pb(NO3)2(aq ) → 3Pb(s) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq )
€
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l ) → 2NaOH(aq ) + H2(g )
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com31
Types of single replacement rxns• 3) Replacement of hydrogen in an
acid by a metal to produce a salt and hydrogen gas
• 4) Replacement of halogens
€
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq ) →H2(g ) + MgCl2(aq )
€
Cl2(g ) + 2KBr(aq ) → 2KCl(aq ) + Br2( l )
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com32
Double Displacement Reactions• The positive ion
of one compound replaces the positive ion from the other compound, forming two new compounds.

General Scheme of Double replacement rxns
•AX + BY --> AY + BX• Types of Double Replacement
Rxns:• 1) Formation of a precipitate
€

Acids• These were recognized as a distinct class of
chemicals due to the following properties:• 1) Aqueous solutions have a sour taste. • 2) Acids change the color of acid-base
indicators, like litmus paper or pH paper.• 3) Some acids react with metals to form
hydrogen gas.• 4) Acids react with bases to produce salts and
water.• 5) Some acids conduct electric current.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com36
Bases• These are the properties of bases:• 1) Aqueous solutions of bases taste bitter.• 2) Bases change the color of acid-base
indicators.• 3) Dilute aqueous solutions of bases feel
slippery.• 4) Bases react with acids to produce salts
and water.
• 5) Bases conduct electric current.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com37
Acid-Base Reactions• When strong acids and bases react,
the products are ALWAYS a salt and water!
• An example of this is hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide (from double replacement reactions example).
• Acids and bases will be a primary focus in SPAN/AP chemistry.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com38
Acid and Base Strength• The strength of an acid or base
depends on how well the ions separate in aqueous solution.
• The more they separate, the stronger they are.
• The pH scale indicates how strong the acid or base is by indicating how much hydrogen ion is in the solution.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com39
The pH scale
• This scale usually runs from 0-14.• A ranking of 0-6 is acidic, 7 is
neutral and 8-14 is basic.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com40
Oxidation• Review of rules for assigning oxidation
numbers.• 1) The oxidation number of any uncombined
element is zero. ie: Zn• 2) The oxidation number of a monatomic ion
equals the charge on the ion… Group 1=+1 and so on…
• 3) Oxidation number of H is +1 in most cases, unless it is combined with a metal…then it is -1.
• 4) The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com41
Oxidation Reactions• Defined as reactions in which ions or atoms
of an element experience an increase in oxidation state.
• Example:
• In oxidation reactions, electrons are lost so the oxidation state becomes greater (more positive).€
Na0 → Na+1 + e−
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com42
Factors that Affect the Rates of Chemical Reactions• 1) Temperature- an increase in
temperature may cause the rate of the reaction to speed up and a decrease in temperature may cause a reaction to slow down
• Why? Increasing the temperature causes the kinetic energy of the particles to increase, which
• increases the collisions of the particles
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com43
Factors that Affect the Rates of Chemical Reactions• 2) Surface area- the rate of
reaction depends on the area of contact for each substance
• An increase in the surface area will increase the rate of heterogeneous reactions- which are reactions that involve reactants in two different phases. ie: solids and liquids
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com44
Reduction Reactions• Defined as reactions in which the ions
or atoms of an element experience a decrease in oxidation state.
• Example:
• In reduction reactions, electrons are gained so the oxidation number decreases
(becomes more negative).€
Cl20 + 2e− → 2Cl−1
