Evidence of Reactions
• Just because the evidence is there DOES NOT mean a chemical reaction is taking place
•Have to look at everything that is going on
33
Signs of a Reaction• Formation of a gas:
– Bubbles– Smoke– Odors/fumes
• Change in color (be careful, some changes in color are physical changes).
• Formation of a solid (precipitate – ppt)– Cloudy– Foggy– Solid at the bottom
44
Signs of a Reaction
•Change in heat or light energy–Gets warm, hot, cold–Sparks or explodes–Glows
55
Exothermic Reactions• Give off energy as heat or light
because–Energy is stored in chemical
bonds.– In EXOthermic reactions there
is MORE energy stored in bonds of reactants than needed to form products! So.. there is left over energy (which is released)!
66
Endothermic Reactions• Absorb energy as heat or light
because –Because the energy stored in
the bonds of the reactants is NOT ENOUGH to hold together the products. MORE ENERGY IS NEEDED (so it must be absorbed – from the surroundings, a burner, or a hot plate)!

• The way atoms are joined is changed• Atoms aren’t created or destroyed.
• Can be described several ways• In a sentence • Copper reacts with chlorine to form
copper (II) chloride.• In a word equation• Copper + chlorine copper (II)
chloride

• the arrow separates the reactants from the products
• Read “reacts to form” or “yields”• The plus sign means “and”
• (s) after the formula –solid (sometimes could say (cr)-crystal
• (g) after the formula -gas• (l) after the formula –liquid
1111Symbols used in equations(aq) after the formula means
dissolved in water, an aqueous solution.

1212Symbols used in equations
• indicates a reaction in, or going to, equilibrium (More later)
• or heat shows that heat is supplied to the reaction
• Pt is used to indicate a catalyst used supplied, in this case, platinum.
1313
What is a catalyst?
• A substance that speeds up a reaction without being changed by the reaction.
• Enzymes are biological or protein catalysts.
1414Rates of ReactionsIn order for a reaction to occur:• The particles must collide (touch)• They must collide with enough energy• They must collide in the right
orientation
Factors that affect reaction rate:• Temperature (particle energy)• Particle size• Surface area• Particle contact (stirring)
1515
Balanced Equation• Atoms can’t be created or
destroyed
• All the atoms we start with we must end up with
• A balanced equation has the same number of each element on both sides of the equation.

___ H___ H22(g) + ___ O(g) + ___ O22(g) ---> ___ H(g) ---> ___ H22O(l)O(l)2 2
What Happened to the Other Oxygen Atom?????
This equation is not balanced!
Two hydrogen atoms from a hydrogen molecule (H2) combines with one of the oxygen atoms from an oxygen molecule (O2) to form H2O. Then, the remaining oxygen atom combines with two more hydrogen atoms (from another H2 molecule) to make a second H2O molecule.

–When balancing, you may add coefficients in front of the compounds to balance the
reaction, but you may notnot change
the subscripts.
– Changing the subscripts changes the compound. Subscripts are determined by the valence electrons (by balancing the charges for ionic, or shared electrons for covalent)

There are four basic steps to balancing a chemical equation.1. Write the correct formula for the reactants and the
products. DO NOT TRY TO BALANCE IT YET! You must write the correct formulas first. And most importantly, DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMULAS!
2. Find the number of atoms for each element on the left side. Compare those against the number of the atoms of the same element on the right side.
3. Determine where to place coefficients in front of formulas so that the left side has the same number of atoms as the right side for EACH element in order to balance the equation.
4. Check your answer to see if:– The numbers of atoms on both sides of the
equation are now balanced.– The coefficients are in the lowest possible whole
number ratios. (reduced)

2121Some Suggestions to Help Some Suggestions to Help YouYou
Some Helpful Hints for balancing equations:• Take one element at a time, working left to right
except for H and O. Save H for next to last, and O until last.
• IF everything balances except for O, and there is no way to balance O with a whole number, double all the coefficients and try again. (Because O is diatomic as an element)
• (Shortcut) Polyatomic ions that appear on both sides of the equation should be balanced as independent units
