Chemical Reactions and Enzymes
chemical reaction: process that
changes one set of compounds
(reactants) into another set of
compounds (products)
A. example:
wood + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water + energy
Reactants
Products
B. example:
How many molecules are in a chemical
formula/equation? Photosynthesis:
Put a box around the products and circle reactants
carbon dioxide + water  glucose + oxygen
Reactants
Products
chemical equation:
CO2 + H2O  C6H12O6 + O2
Reactants
Products
C. Conservation of matter: During a
chemical reaction, atoms are not
created or destroyed – just
rearranged. Therefore, chemical
equations must be balanced so there
is the same number of atoms on both
sides of the equation.

• C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O
C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O
C 1)How many molecules
are on the:
• Reactants side
•7
• Products Side
• 12
• What are the names of the
molecules:
• Glucose and Oxygen
• Carbon Dioxide and water
C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O
C. 2) How many atoms
are on the:
Reactants side:

II. Speed of Reactions
• The speed of a reaction
depends on whether is absorbs
or releases energy.
Chemical reactions that
Release energy….
• Often Occur Spontaneously
(without warning)
• Example: Explosion gun powder or
fireworks
Chemical reactions that
Absorb energy….
• Will not occur without a source
of energy.
• Example: Instant Ice Packs or
Photosynthesis.

Energy Releasing
A. All reactions require some energy
to start: activation energy.
Example: if some reactions that release energy did
not require activation energy, what could happen
to the pages of your text book as you sit here
reading?
They could spontaneously combust
into flames.
B. catalyst: substance that speeds up a
chemical reaction by lowering the
activation energy
Catalysts found in living things are
called enzymes
C. Enzymes
•provide a site where the reactants of
a chemical reaction can be brought
together
•are not used up or changed during
the chemical reaction
•active site: part of the enzyme where the
reactants bind (stick)
•reactants: molecules at beginning of a
chemical reaction. Called the substrate
when they encounter an enzyme.
•substrate only fits into the active site of
the correct enzyme (like a key and lock)

IV. Enzymes
only work in specific
conditions
A. temperature: heat=destroy enzyme,
cold= slow enzyme down
B. pH: changes the shape of the enzyme
and its active site
C. coenzymes: make enzymes work better
D. inhibitor molecules: block substrate
from entering active site
Balancing Chemical
Equations
• A balanced equation shows that
every atom of the reactant
becomes part of the product.
• Atoms are never lost or gained.
• Balancing an equation may require
a coefficient, which is then given
to each atom in the formula.
Steps to Balancing an
Equation
1. Count the atoms of each
element in the reactants and
in the products.
H2
H=2
+ O2
O=2

H2O
H=2
O=1
2. Place a coefficient next to
each formula that needs to be
increased and recount the
atoms
H2
H=2
+ O2
O=2

2H2O
H=4
O=2
3. Continue to add coefficients
until the number of atoms is
the same on both sides of the
equation.
2H2
H=4
+ O2
O=2

2H2O
H=4
O=2
