3. Objectives
1. Explain the difference between
elemental and chemical formula
2. Recognize all the parts of a chemical
equation
3. Describe how compounds are different
than the materials that compose it
4. Balance Chemical Equations
4. Chemical Bonding
The attraction between two atoms that
holds them together
Chemical changes occur because of breaking and
rearrangement
Chemical change = chemical reaction
5. Chemical Equation
To show chemical reactions we use
chemical equations
C + O2 --> CO2
4 Al (s) + 3 O2 (g) ---> 2 Al2O3 (s)
6. Parts of Chemical Equation
Elemental formula: how atoms are
bounded together in an element
Li
O2 , N2 , S8
12. Law of Conservation of Mass
Matter is neither created nor destroyed
during a chemical reaction
Therefore all chemical equations must be
balanced; equal atoms of each element on
each side
13. Balancing equation rules
You may change the coefficients in front
You may NOT change the subscripts
Changing the subscript changes the
compound
14. Steps of balancing
1. Write the correct formulas for the
equation. Once written do not change
the formula’s
2. Find the number of atoms on the left side
of each element and compare it against
the number of atoms of the same
elements on the right side
15. 4. Check your answer to see if:
The numbers of atoms on both
sides of the equation are now
balanced.
The coefficients are in the lowest
possible whole number ratios.
(reduced)
16. Helpful hints
Take one element at a time working left to
right,
Leave H for next to last and O last
IF everything balances except for O, and
there is no way to balance O with a whole
number, double all the coefficients and try
again.
17. Balancing Equations
___ H2(g) + ___ O2(g) ---> ___ H2O(l)
One of the oxygen atoms
binds with two of the
hydrogen atoms
18. Done Activities
Which equations are balanced?
Balance the ones that aren’t
a.Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
b. Al(s) + Br2(l) Al2Br6(s)
c. HgO(s) Hg(l) + O2(g)
