Evidence for Chemical Reactions

There are four observations that indicate a chemical reaction is taking place:

 

1.      A gas is produced.

           Gas may be observed in many ways in a reaction from light fizzing to heavy bubbling.

 

2.      An insoluble solid is produced  in a solution.

a.    A substance dissolves in water to give an aqueous solution.

b.    If we add two aqueous solutions together, we may observe the production of a solid substance.

c.    The insoluble solid formed is called a precipitate

 

3.      A permanent color change is observed.

a.    Many chemical reactions involve a permanent color change.

b.    A change in color indicates  that a new substance has been formed

 

4.      An energy change is observed

a.    A reaction that releases heat is an exothermic reaction.

b.    A reaction that absorbs heat is an endothermic reaction.

c.    Examples of a heat energy change in a chemical reaction are heat and light being given off.

In Chapter Four we studied the composition of an atom. In Chapter 3 & 5 we made compounds. Now for Chapter 9 we finally should be able to react these compounds in chemical reactions (or chemical change). The basic symbiology of a chemical reaction is explained in Section 9.1

What are reactants? What are products. What does the arrow between mean? How do we indicate the phase of the chemical? Look at Table 8.1 below summarizes the symbols of a chemical reaction.

Path 4 Chapter 9 Study Packet

To start let’s look at 4 five types of reactions: Combination, Decomposition, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, and Neutralization reactions are introduced..

There is a third type of double replacement (Metathesis or Ion Exchange):

Gas Forming Reactions.

 

When predicting the products of a double replacement reaction, sometimes one of the products instantly decomposes.

 

If H2CO3 is a predicted product in ion exchange, it is written as

 CO2 and H2O.

 

 For example:

Na2CO3 (aq) +  HCl (aq) à  [H2CO3](aq) + NaCl (aq)

 

Should be written:

Na2CO3 (aq) +  HCl (aq) à  CO2(g) + H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)

 

Two other products which are shown differently:

[NH4OH]  à  NH3 + H2O

 

[H2SO3 ]    à SO2 + H2O

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Path 4 Chapter 9 Study Packet

 

In chapter 12, there is a seventh type of chemical reaction:

 

Combustion – a substance burns in the presence of oxygen. Combustion of a compound that contains C and H (or C, H, and O) produces carbon dioxide gas and water.

CH2O(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

 

 The general type of combustion problem looks like this:

 

CxHy [(l) or (g)]  +  O2 (g)   à   CO2 (g)  +   H2O (g)

 

Or

 

CxHyOz[(s) or (l) or (g)]  +  O2 (g)   à   CO2 (g)  +   H2O (g)

 

The chemical reaction for the combustion of gasoline:

C8H18 (l)  +  O2 (g)   à       CO2 (g)       +   H2O (g)

Octane        oxygen gas    carbon dioxide      water

Rules and Suggestions for Balancing Equations

1)    The same # and type of atom must be present on each side of the equation.

2)    Balancing is accomplished by adding coefficients.  NEVER change the subscripts.

3)    Coefficients must be in the smallest whole # ratio.

4)    Balancing is done by trial and error.

5)    Usually Balance H’s and O’s last or an element that appears in more than one place of either side of the reaction .

6)      Balance polyatomic ions as one unit in Ion Exchange reactions.

If you were to (H2O) in the activity series like an acid is shown as (H), where would you put it? Show below:

 

Given the following Activity Series:

 

Li >      K >   Ba >    Sr >    Ca >     Na >     Mg >     Al >

 

Mn >      Zn >      Fe >     Cd >     Co >     Ni >     Sn >

 

Pb >    (H) >      Cu >     Ag >    Hg >      Au

 

The rule to follow is a single replacement reaction takes place only if the metal or (H) is more active than the metal or (H) it is replacing. Li will react with everything, while Hg will replace only gold. And poor gold does not react with any of the cations of metals. Therefore gold is found pure in nature, while the very active metals such as potassium and sodium are never found pure in nature, but are found as minerals (ionic compounds).

Will Mg metal react with Nitric Acid? Yes
                (Mg has a great reactivity then [H] in the series)

Mg (s) + 2 HNO3 (aq)   →  Mg(NO3)2 (aq)  + H2 (g)

Will Copper react with Nitric Acid? no
                     (Cu is below [H] in the activity series)

Cu (s)  +  HNO3 (aq)  →  no reaction

Given the following Active Metals:

Li > K > Ba > Sr > Ca > Na> (H2O)

The six very active metals are so reactive they will replace one of the two hydrogens in water and form alkaline hydroxides as products.  Hydrogen gas will bubble out of the solution. See some of the above movies for demonstrations.

Will Sodium react with water?  yes
                    (Na is one of the six active metals above)

2 Na(s) + 2 HOH (l)  2 NaOH (aq)  +  H2 (g)

Note for Chapter 9 Part B3:
    Neutralization ion Exchange Reaction:

1.     When an acid reacts with a base, salt plus water are the products

 

Gas Forming Ion Exchange Reactions:

2.     When either H2SO3; H2CO3 or NH4OH is formed as a product it immediately

    decomposes thus demonstrating a gas forming reaction.

 

3.     Most books do not show either H2CO3 or NH4OH as products, just the

decomposed products of the gases and water in the answer.

 

If H2CO3 is a predicted product in ion exchange, it is written as

 CO2 and H2O.

 

 For example:

Na2CO3 (aq) +  HCl (aq) à  [H2CO3](aq) + NaCl (aq)

 

Should be written:

Na2CO3 (aq) +  HCl (aq) à  CO2(g) + H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)

 

Two other products which are shown differently:

[NH4OH]  à  NH3 + H2O

 

[H2SO3 ]    à SO2 + H2O
