2. Chemical equations describe
CHEMICAL REACTIONS.
During a chemical reaction, the ways in
which atoms are joined together are
OLD bonds are broken and NEW bonds are
formed as REACTANTS are converted into
A reaction STARTS with substances known as REACTANTS
(always written on the LEFT side of the equation).
The substances that are FORMED during a reaction are
known as PRODUCTS (always written on the RIGHT side of
the equation).
3. Chemical Equations
Chemical Equations are used (as chem.
shorthand) to represent what is
occurring during a chemical reaction.
Ex.: Butane burns in oxygen to produce
carbon dioxide gas and water vapor.
C4H10 + O2 --->
∆ CO2 + H2O
4. Why Balance Equations?
When 9.386 g Ca reacts completely with 7.514 g S, 16.90 g of
CaS are formed.
Ca(s) + S(s) ---> CaS(s)
5. Balancing Equations
Make sure the chemical formulas
are CORRECT (you cannot change
the correct formula of a substance).
I2 Br2 Cl2 F2 O2 N2 H2

Use COEFFICIENTS (numbers in
front of formulas) to change the
number of atoms of an element.
Coefficients represent
MULTIPLES of the formulas
6. Balance the following
N2 (g) + H2 (g) ---> NH3 (g)
FeCl3 (s) ---> Fe(s) + Cl2 (g)
NaOCl + KI + HC2H3O2 ---> I2 + NaCl + KC2H3O2 + H2O
7. Balance the following
C3H8 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
C3H6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
8. Types of Chemical Reactions
Combination A + B --> AB
Decomposition AB --> A + B
Single Replacement A + BC --> AC + B
Double Replacement AC + BD --> AD + BC
Neutralization
Combustion A + O2 --> AO
CxHy + O2 --> x CO2 + y/2 H2O
9. Measuring MATTER
Technique - Necessary information
Counting - Avogadro’s #
Weighing - Molar Mass
Measuring Volume - Molar Volume
10. Types of Chemical Particles
Atoms - represented by the symbol of an element
(C, Ag, N, Na, Cl, Fe, Pb, S, etc.)
Molecules - represented by multiple symbol(s) of
NONMETAL atoms/elements (CO2, H2O, O2, CH4,
Ions - represented by the symbol/formula of an ion
Formula Units - represented by the formula of an
IONIC compound (NaCl, AgNO3, Fe2O3, etc.)
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles
(a conversion factor)
11. Avogadro’s Number = 6.02 x 1023
This number can be determined
experimentally several ways:
Measurement of crystal structure
Ti - body-centered unit cell (2 atoms/unit cell)
# of atoms/mol
2 Ti atoms 1 unit cell 47.88g 1 cm3
= 6.02 x 1023atoms
unit cell (3.306 x 10-8cm)3 1 mol 4.401 g Ti
12. MOLAR MASS
The number of grams of a substance
equivalent to the sum of all its average atomic
mass units (amu) is known as the molar
One mole of particles is equal to its
molar mass in grams.
13. MOLAR VOLUME
The volume, 22.4 L, of any gas at STP
is known as the molar volume.
STP = Standard Temperature and
273 K (O˚C, 32 ˚F) and 1 atm (101.3 kPa, 760 mm Hg, 29.92 in Hg)

17. STOICHIOMETRY -think recipes!
Balanced chemical equations can be used to
predict the QUANTITATIVE amounts of
REACTANTS and PRODUCTS.

18. N2(g) + 3H2 (g) ---> 2NH3 (g)
How many moles of hydrogen will react with 0.00326 mol N 2?
How many molecules of ammonia are produced when 4.55 x 10 18 molecules of
hydrogen react?
How many atoms of hydrogen are in the ammonia produced?
How many grams of nitrogen are required to react with 75.8 g hydrogen?
19. Stoichiometry
Use the stoichiometric mole ratio to convert from
moles of one substance to moles of another
substance within the reaction
C4H10 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O
How many moles of water are produced when 0.48
moles of butane, C4H10, react?
How many molecules of butane are needed to
produce 12.00 grams of H2O?
20. Stoichiometry, cont.
In the lab, we determine the masses of different
substances, rather than moles, and therefore must be
able to convert from grams of one substance in a
reaction to grams of another.
• NaOCl + KI + HC2H3O2 ---> I2 + NaCl + KC2H3O2 + H2O
• How many grams of iodine are produced when 0.35 g of
potassium iodide react?
21. I2 (aq) + Na2S2O3(aq) --> Na2S4O6(aq) + NaI
How many grams of sodium iodide are produced
when 0.203 g of iodine react with excess Na2S2O3?
Which reactant limits the amount of product that
can be made? Why?
22. Limiting Reactants
The product(s) of a reaction is/are
limited by how much of each reactant
is present (available) in the reaction.
Two types of reactants
Limiting - this is the reactant you run out
of first!
Excess - at the end of the reaction there
will be some of this reactant left over
(excess:-)).
23. Combustion of Magnesium
Mg(s) + O2(g in air) --> MgO(s)
How much magnesium oxide can be produced when 1.085 g Mg
burns in air?
Determine the limiting and excess reactants
Calculate the theoretical yield from the limiting reactant

25. Molar Mass 208.3g/mol 76.1 g/mol
BaCl2 + NH4SCN --> Ba(SCN) 2 + NH4Cl
34.5 g BaCl2 react with 44.3 g NH4SCN.
How much NH4Cl can be produced (theoretical yield)?
STEP 1: Determine the LR and ER! (use mole ratio)
STEP 2: Determine the Theoretical Yield from LR
26. Experimental Reaction Yield
Balanced equations can be used to
calculate the amount of product that
will form during a reaction - called the
THEORETICAL YIELD
The amount of product that actually
forms during a chemical reaction is
called the ACTUAL YIELD
The actual yield is often less than the
theoretical yield.
27. Percent Yield
The percent yield is the ratio of the
actual yield compared to the theoretical
yield, converted to a percent.
actual yield
% YIELD = --------------------- x 100

28. N2(g) + H2(g) ---> NH3 (g)

Which reactant is the limiting reactant?
Which reactant is in excess?

What is the percent yield for this reaction?
29. Mole Ratios in Chemical Formulas
The Empirical (Simplest) Formula is a ratio of atoms
in the compound (this is equivalent to the mole ratio
of atoms).
Ex. If 3.10 g Fe reacts with chlorine to make 9.01 g
of a compound, what is the simplest formula of the
30. Mole Ratios in Chemical Formulas
For hydrated compounds, the mole ratio of water to
the compound is expressed in the formula.
Ex. If 2.00 g of a copper (II) sulfate hydrate is heated
and the mass of the anhydrate is 1.28 g, what is the
formula of the hydrate?
31. Oxidation & Reduction
RedOx
Reactions that involve the transfer of electrons
between “particles” are known as RedOx rxns.
Oxidation is the loss of electron(s) from an atom.
Reduction is the gain of electron(s) by an atom.
