Ch. 8 Notes -- Chemical Reactions
Chemical equations give information in two major areas:
Reactants
products
1. _____________
and ______________
of the reaction.
amount
2. Coefficients of a balanced chemical equation tell us the ______
of the substances involved.
Example of a Balanced Chemical Equation: 2H2 (g) + O2 (g)  2H2O (g)
left side of the arrow, and the
Reactants are on the ______
right
yields
products are on the __________
side. The arrow means “________”,
or “reacts to produce” when read aloud.

•
From our example, hydrogen reacts with oxygen in a ___:___
2 1 ratio.
moles or
The coefficients represent either the number of _________
molecules present.
The coefficients can also represent _________
liters if the substances are
gases.
(1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecules, 1 mole of gas= 22.4 Liters)
Common Symbols used in Chemical Equations
+
→
(See Table 8.1)
= used to separate 2 reactants or 2 products from each other
= “yields” or “reacts to produce”
= _____________
reaction (like a rechargeable battery)
reversible
(s) (l) (g) (aq) = phase of matter: (solid, liquid, gas, or “aqueous”)
heat
= ___________

MnO2
= a catalyst, (in this case, MnO2), is used to ________
speed ____
up
the reaction.
Decoding Common Chemical Equation Symbols
Practice Problems: Describe the following reactions using complete
sentences.
a) NaHCO3 (s) + HCl (aq)  NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
b) H2SO4 (aq) + BaCl2 (aq)  HCl (aq) + BaSO4 (s)
c) Write a chemical equation from the following description: “Sodium
plus bromine, when heated, reacts to produce solid sodium bromide.”
Balancing Chemical Equations
Why do you have to balance a chemical equation?
• Law of Conservation of Matter (or Mass):
“Matter is neither
____________
nor _______________
in chemical reactions.”
created
destroyed
joined
• During a chemical reaction, atoms are either _________,
______________,
or rearranged. The _____________
and type of
separated
number
each atom stays the same.
How do you balance a chemical equation?
• __________________

Coefficients

element on both sides of the equation. This number will multiply the
number of atoms there are in a formula.
