A chemical equation represents a qualitative and quantitative representation of a chemical reaction.
Example
Chemical equation
2 C2H6 (g) + 7 O2(g) --> 4 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l)
reactants --> products
Word chemical equation
2 moles of ethane gas react with 7 moles of oxygen gas to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide gas and 6 moles of hydrogen oxide liquid.
MU #1 A balanced chemical equation represents conservation of atoms. In all chemical reactions there is a conservation of mass, energy, and charge.
mass, energy, and charge of reactants = mass, energy, and charge of products
The method to balance equations is trial and error where atoms are checked one at a time starting with the most complex compound.
Example
unbalanced: H2 + O2 --> H2O
balanced: 2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O
Problems
Balance and write a word chemical equation for the following chemical equations.
Na + Cl2 --> NaCl
Al + O2 --> Al2O3
CuS + O2 --> CuO + SO2
Cu + O2 --> CuO
Mg + O2 --> MgO
PbO + C --> Pb + CO2
CuCO3 --> CuO + CO2
Mg + H2O --> Mg(OH)2 + H2
Zn + Pb(NO3)2 --> Pb + Zn(NO3)2
Fe2O3 + C --> CO2 + Fe
C3H8 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
Zn + HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
Na + H2O --> NaOH + H2
KClO3 --> KCl + O2
HgO --> Hg + O2
C + O2 --> CO2
Cu + AgNO3 --> Ag + CuNO3
Na2SO4 + BaCl2 --> NaCl + BaSO4
Ba(NO3)2 + Na3PO4 --> Ba3(PO4)2 + NaNO3
Fe + HCl --> H2 + FeCl2
BaCl2 + Na3PO4 --> Ba3(PO4)2 + NaCl
H2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 --> HOH + CaCO3
NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2
C2H6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
MU #2 The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation can be used to determine mole ratios in the reaction.
Example
Consider the balance equation 2 C2H6 + 7 O2(g) --> 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
A set of relationships can be written since each compound is linked to all the others.
2 moles of C2H6 to 7 moles of O2
4 moles of CO2 to 2 moles of C2H6
6 moles of H2O to 2 moles of C2H6
etc.....
Mole ratios are used to solve simple mole to mole problems.
Example
How many moles of H2 are needed to completely react with 2 moles of N2 in the reaction N2 + 3 H2 --> 2 NH3?
Solution
Step 1: Write the quantity given in the question.
2 moles of N2
Step 2: Write what you are looking for to the right of the given.
2 moles of N2 = ? moles of H2
Step 3: Find the relationship in the reaction that links the given and what you are looking for.
1 mole of N2 to 3 moles of H2
Step 4: Place the relationship as a fraction next to the given so that the correct units cancel.
(2 moles of N2 ) (3 moles of H2 ) / (1 mole of N2 ) = 6 moles of H2
Problems
1. How many moles of oxygen gas are produced by the decomposition of six moles of potassium chlorate in the reaction
2 KClO3 --> 2 KCl + 3 O2
2. How many moles of hydrogen gas are produced from the reaction of three moles of zinc with an excess of hydrochloric acid in the reaction
Zn + 2 HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
3. How many moles of oxygen gas are necessary to react completely with four moles of propane in the reaction
C3H8 + 5 O2 --> 3 CO2+ 4 H2O
4. How many moles of potassium nitrate are produced when two moles of potassium phosphate are used in the reaction
K3PO4 + Al(NO3)3 --> 3 KNO3 + AlPO4
5. One of the iron minerals used to produce iron is siderite (iron (II) carbonate). Siderite is first heated to produce iron II oxide and carbon dioxide then the oxide is made to react with oxygen gas to yield iron (III) oxide and last the new oxide reacts with carbon solid to produce iron and carbon monoxide. Then the purification by reduction continues by reacting the iron (IV) oxide with carbon monoxide to produce iron (II) oxide and carbon dioxide gas. The last reaction in the process of purification produces iron solid and carbon dioxide gas when iron (II) oxide reacts again with carbon monoxide gas.
a) Write all the above word chemical reactions into formula reactions and balance them.
