Counting atoms
Formulas
• A formula tells which elements make up a
compound.
subscripts
• Numbers that tell how many atoms of each
element make up a compound.
• H2O
• No subscript means there is one atom of that
element
Formula
Element
H2SO4
Hydrogen
Sulfur
oxygen
CO2
HCl
H2O
C6H12O6
Number of
atoms
Coefficients
• Whole numbers in front of a chemical formula
that tell how many molecules of the
compound are present.
• 4CaCO3
• You need to distribute the 4 to all parts of the
formula
Parentheses
• Subscripts outside parentheses distribute to
the elements inside the parentheses.
• C7H5(NO2)3
•
(TNT)
Practice
• C2H4O2
• 3H2O2
• (CH4)3CO4
Evidence of chemical reactions
•
•
•
•
•
1. gas produced
2. A change in temperature
3. Light is produced
4. color change
5. precipitate forms
Chemical Equation Notes
• Tell chemists reactants, products, physical
states and proportions of each substance.
• Reactants →Products
Word equations
• Baking soda + Vinegar →Sodium acetate
+Carbon dioxide bubbles
Formulas
• Shorthand for writing chemical equations.
• CH3COOH + NaHCO3 -> H2O +
NaOCOCH3 + CO2
Conservation of Mass
• The number and kind of atoms must be
equal for products and reactants.
• Matter can not be created or destroyed
• Chemical reactions need to be balanced.
