Chemical Reactions
![Page 2: Chemical Reactions. Chemical Equations A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction; the formulas of the reactants (on the left) are](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072012/56649e405503460f94b30f40/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Chemical Equations• A chemical equation is a representation
of a chemical reaction; the formulas of the reactants (on the left) are connected by an arrow with the formulas of the products (on the right).
Fe + O2 Fe2O3
•A Chemical formula is a combination of symbols that
represent the elements in a compound. (add this note to
your reading guide)

All chemical reactions
• have two parts• Reactants - the substances you start
with (the ones reacting)• Products- the substances you end
up with (the ones produced)• The reactants turn into the products.• Reactants ® Products

• A chemical reaction rearranges the atoms of the reactants to form new compounds of the products.
• No new atoms are created, they have only been rearranged.

4 types of Chemical Reactions:
1. Synthesis Reaction: two or more elements or compounds combine to make one more complex substance (A + B → AB)
2. Decomposition Reaction: a compound is broken down into simpler products (AB → A + B)
3. Single Replacement Reactions: replace one element from a compound with another element.
(A + BC B + AC)
4. Double Replacement Reactions: swaps elements between 2 compounds that react together to form two new compounds. (AB + CD AD + CB)

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that:
• The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
OR - • Matter can never be created nor
destroyed OR -• you can’t get somethin’
outta nothin’(hahaha)

Word Equations
• ExampleMethane + Oxygen Carbon dioxide +
Water
• The arrow means yields, gives, or reacts to produce.

Rules for balancing
1 Write the correct formulas for all the reactants and products
2 Count the number of atoms of each type appearing on both sides
3 Balance the elements one at a time by adding coefficients (the numbers in front)
4 Check to make sure it is balanced.

Never
• Change a subscript to balance an equation.
• If you change the formula you are describing a different reaction.
• H2O is a different compound than H2O2
• Never put a coefficient in the middle of a formula
• 2 NaCl is okay, Na2Cl is not.

• What is a coefficient? A number that indicates how many atoms of an element are in one molecule
• What is a subscript? Numbers telling how many molecules are involved in a chemical reaction
