4. Defined as represents, with symbols and formulas, the identities and relative amounts of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
5. Example: this chemical equation shows the reactant ammonium dichromate yields the products nitrogen, chromium(III) oxide, and water(NH4)2Cr2O7(s) N2(g) + Cr2O3(s) + 4H2O(g)
6. Indications of Chemical Reactions Evolution of heat and light Production of gas Formation of a precipitate Color change Chemistry comes alive!
15. (g) represents that it is in gaseous stateCH4 (g) + O2 (g) CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
16. balance the equationâ last step in writing a chemical equation Satisfy law of conservation of mass by inserting coefficients # of atoms of reactant must = # of atoms of products 2 2 Reactant Product Step 1: Type & number C C 1 1 Step 3: When reactants = products its balanced H H 4 2 4 Step 2: Add coefficients till reactants = products O O 2 3 4 4 CH4 (g) + O2 (g) CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
17. Additional symbols used in chemical reactions Examples: Yields Reversible reactions (s) or solid state (g) or gaseous state (l) liquid state (aq) aqueous (dissolved in water) reactants are heated 2 atm Pressure 0â° C Temperature MnO2 Catalyst 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g) 2HgO(s) 2Hg(l) + O2(g) C2H2(s) + H2(g) pressure C2H6(g) Pt

19. Reverse reaction for a chemical reaction has the same relative amounts of substances as the forward reaction Balancing Chemical Equations Identify the names of the reactants and the products, and write a word equation. water hydrogen + oxygen Write a formula equation by substituting correct formulas for the names of the reactants and the products. H2O(g) H2(g) + O2(g)
20.
21. First balance the atoms of elements that are combined and that appear only once on each side of the equation
23. Balance H atoms and O atoms after atoms of all other elements have been balancedH2O(g) H2(g) + O2(g) 2 2 Product Reactant H H 2 2 4 4 O O 1 2 2 Count atoms to be sure that the equation is balanced.
