Lecture: Reactions and Equations

Reaction Equations

Key terms

Energy, exothermic reaction, endothermic reactionPhysical reactions, chemical reactions, phase transitionsReactants, productsReaction stoichiometry

Skills to develop
To distinguish chemical changes from physical changes.
To write chemical equations to describe a chemical reaction.
To balance chemical equations.
To calculate the quantities of reactants required or the quantities produced in a chemical reaction.

Chemical Reaction Equations

Changes in a material or system are called reactions, and they are divided into chemical and physical reactions.
Energy is the driving force of all changes, both physical and chemical reactions. Energy is always involved in these reactions. If a system is more stable by losing some energy, a reaction takes place, releasing energy. Such a reaction is said to be exothermic. Supplying energy to a system also causes a reaction. Energy absorbing reactions are called endothermic reactions. Sometimes, the amount of energy involved in a reaction may be so small that the change in energy is not readily noticeable.

An equation can be used to describe a physical reaction, which involves a change of states. For example, melting, sublimation, evaporation, and condensation can be represented as follow.

In these equations, (s) stands for solid, (l) for liquid (l), and (g) for gas,

H2O(s) ® H2O(l) . . . melting
H2O(s) ® H2O(g) . . . sublimation
C2H5OH(l) ® C2H5OH(g) . . . evaporation
NH3(g) ® NH3(l) . . . condensationIn these changes, no chemical bonds are broken or formed, and the molecular identities of the substances have not changed.

Is the phase transition between graphite and diamond is a chemical or physical reaction?
C(graphite) ® C(diamond).

The crystal structures of diamond and graphite are very different, and bonding between the carbon atoms are also different in the two solid states. Because chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, the phase transition of diamond and graphite is a chemical reaction.
Chemicals or substances change converting to one or more other substances, and these changes are called chemical reactions. At the molecular level, atoms or groups of atoms rearrange resulting in breaking and forming some chemical bonds in a chemical reaction. The substances undergoing changes are called reactants, whereas substances newly formed are called products. Physical appearances of products are often different from reactants. Chemical reactions are often accompanied by the appearance of gas, fire, precipitate, color, light, sound, or odor.

These phenomena are related to energy and properties of the reactants and products. For example, the oxidation of propane releases heat and light, and a rapid reaction is an explosion,
C3H8 + 5 O2 ® 3 CO2 + 4 H2O A balanced equation also shows a macroscopic quantitative relationship. This balanced reaction equation shows that five moles of oxygen reacts with one mole of propane generating three moles of carbon dioxide and four moles of water, a total of 7 moles of products in the combustion reaction.

At the molecular level, this equation shows that for each propane molecule, 5 oxygen molecules are required. The three carbon atoms are converted to three molecules of carbon dioxide, whereas the 8 hydrogen atoms in propane are oxidized to 4 water molecules. The numbers of H, C, and O atoms are the same on both sides of the equation.

We study properties of substances so that we know how to make use of them. Tendencies of a substance to react, either by itself or with others, are important chemical properties. Via properties, we understand chemical reactions, which are best studied by experimentation and observation. After you have performed many experiments, you may generalize certain rules and facts. Knowing these rules and facts enable you to solve problems that you have not yet encountered.

The most important aspect of a chemical reaction is to know what are the reactants and what are the products. For this, the best description of a reaction is to write an equation for the reaction. A chemical reaction equation gives the reactants and products, and a balanced chemical reaction equation shows the mole relationships of reactants and products. Often, the amount of energy involved in the reaction is given. Dealing with the quantitative aspect of chemical reactions is called reaction stoichiometry.

For example, when clamshells, CaCO3, are heated, a gas CO2 will be released, leaving a white powder (solid CaO) behind. This reaction is represented by the reaction as depicted in the picture, and the equation of the reaction is written as:
CaCO3 ® CaO + CO2The equation indicates that one mole of CaCO3 gives one mole each of CaO and CO2. Amounts of substances represented by chemical formulas have been introduced on the two previous pages, and these concepts should help to figure out the stoichiometry of reactions when a reaction equation is given.


Example 1
When 10.0 g pure calcium carbonate is heated and converted to solid calcium oxide CaO, how much calcium oxide should be obtained? If the only 5.0 grams CaO is obtained, what is the actual yield? Hint:Under ideal condition, amounts of substance in the reaction equation is as indicated below:
CaCO3 ® CaO + CO2100.0 . . . . . 56 . . . 44 g/mol (formula weights) 1 mol CaCO3 1 mol CaO 56 g CaO
10.0 g CaCO3 ------------ ----------- --------- = 5.6 g CaO
100 g CaCO3 1 mol CaCO3 1 mol CaO
DiscussionAn inefficient conversion is given here, but the method shows the details of consideration. If the amount of CaO obtained is not 5.6 g, one can conclude that the sample may not be pure.

Example 2
When 10.0 g pure calcium carbonate is heated and converted to solid calcium oxide CaO, how much CO2 at standard condition is released? Hint:
CaCO3 ® CaO + CO2 1 mol CO2 22.4 L CO2
10.0 g CaCO3 ----------- ----------- = 2.24 L CO2
100 g CaCO3 1 mol CO2

Discussion

We have taken a short cut in this formulation compared to Example 1. Example 1 and 2 illustrate the evaluation of quantities in g and in L.

Writing Equations for Chemical Reactions
Chemical reaction equations truly represent changes of materials. For many reactions, we may only be able to write equations for the overall reactions. For example, common sense tells us that when sugar is fully oxidized, carbon dioxide and water are the final products. The oxidation reaction is the same as the combustion reaction. Thus we write
C12H22O11 + 12 O2 ® 12 CO2 + 11 H2O This illustrates the methods used for writing balanced reaction equations:

Determine the reactants and productsIn this case, the products are CO2 and H2O, determined by common sense. We know that.

Apply the fundamental principle of conservation of atomsNumbers of atoms of each kind must be the same before and after the reactions.
Balance one type of atoms at a timeBR> We may use H or C to begin. Since there are 12 C atoms on the left, the coefficient is 12 for CO2. Similarly, 22 H atoms produce 11 H2O molecules.
Balance the oxygen atoms on both sides. There are a total of 35 O atoms on the right hand, and the coefficient for O2 should be 11.

Example 3
The compound N2O5 is unstable at room temperature. It decomposes yielding a brown gas NO2 and oxygen. Write a balanced chemical reaction equation for its decomposition. Hint:The first step is to write an unbalanced equation indicating only the reactant and products:
N2O5 ® NO2 + O2 A N2O5 molecule decomposes into two NO2 molecule, and half of O2.
N2O5 ® 2 NO2 + 1/2O2 In order to give whole number stoichiometric coefficients to the equation, we multiply all the stoichiometric coefficients by 2.
2 N2O5 ® 4 NO2 + O2 DiscussionThis example illustrate the steps used in writing a balance equation for a chemical reaction. This balanced equation does not tell us how a N2O5 molecule decompose, it only illustrate the overall reaction.

Example 4
When solutions of CaCl2 and AgNO3 are mixed, a white precipitate is formed. The same precipitate is also observed when NaCl solution is mixed with AgCH3CO2 solution. Write a balanced equation for this the reaction between CaCl2 and AgNO3. Hint:The common ions between NaCl and CaCl2 are Cl- ions, and Ag+ ions are common between the two silver containing compounds. The question illustrates a scientific deduction used in the determination of products. The product is AgCl, and the balanced reaction is
CaCl2 + 2 AgNO3 ® 2 AgCl + Ca(NO3)2 DiscussionIn reality, solutions of salts contain ions. In this case, the solutions contain Ca2+, Cl-, Ag+, and NO3- ions. The Cl- and Ag+ ions form an insoluble solid, and a precipitate is formed,
Cl- + Ag+ ® AgCl(s) Ca2+ and NO3- are by-stander ions.

Chemical Reactions
One of the most important topics in chemistry is chemical reaction. In this page, we only concentrate on the stoichiometry conveyed by reaction equations.

Other topics related to chemical reactions are:
Excess and Limiting Reagents or reactants left over or used upFeatures of chemical reactions or classification of reactionsChemical kinetics or reaction ratesReaction mechanism or how actually reaction proceedThe first two topics are included in this group, but the later topics will be discussed in another course (CHEM123).
Balancing Redox Reactions Balancing oxidation and reduction reaction equations is a little more complicated than what we discussed here. You have to have the skills to assign oxidation states, explain oxidation and reduction in terms of oxidation-state change, and write half reaction euqations. Then you will be able to balance redox reactions. All these are given in the next module on Chemical Reactions.

Lecture, Chapter 6

Compounds

A compound is a group of atoms with a specific number and type of atoms arranged in a specific way. Exactly the same elements in exactly the same proportions are in every bit of the compound.
Example: Water is a compound composed of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom is attached to an oxygen atom by a chemical bond. H2O is the formula for the compound, water.

If any other elements are attached, it is not water. For example, H2S is hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide does not have the same types of atoms as water, so it is a different compound.
If a different number of atoms of hydrogen or oxygen are attached, it is not water. H2O2 is the formula for hydrogen peroxide. It might have the right elements in it to be water, but it does not have them in the right proportion. A molecule is a single formula of a compound joined by covalent bonds.

The Law of Constant Proportions states that a given compound always contains the same proportion by weight of the same elements.

Electron Configuration and Valence Electrons
In a stable atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
Electrons in atoms are present in discrete orbits or "shells" around the nucleus of the atom.
There is a ranking or heirarchy of the shells, with the shells further from the nucleus having a higher energy.
The innermost electron shell holds only two electrons.
The outermost shell contains the valence electrons. The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the outer shell is eight. When there are eight electrons in the outer shell, it is said to have an octet of electrons.
The valence of an atom is the likely charge it will take on as an ion.
A valence is the amount of positive or negative charge on an ion of an element.
Example: Hydrogen only has one electron. It can lose an electron to become H+, a hydrogen ion, or it can gain an electron to become H-, a hydride ion.

The Octet Rule
The octet rule states that atoms are most stable when they have a full shell of 8 electrons in the outside electron shell.
Octet = 8
An atom with eight electrons in the outer shell is more stable than an atom which as fewer electrons in the outer shell.

The exception to this is Helium (atomic number 2) which only has two electrons in its outer shell. It has a full shell, so it is a stable inert element.

Valence electrons are the only electrons involved in chemical bonds.

Atoms will form chemical bonds with other atoms by either sharing electrons, or by transferring electrons in order to complete their octet and get 8 electrons in the outer shell.

Ions
In a stable atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
An atom which has a different number of electrons than it does protons is called an ion.

Ions are charged particles. Types of ions:

Cation - A positively charged ion.A cation is an atom or group of atoms with a net positive charge, caused by the loss of one or more electrons. Examples: Na+, NH4+, Mg+2

Anion - a negatively charged ion.An anion is an atom or group of atoms with a net negative charge, caused by the gain of one or more electrons.Examples: F-, S2-, NO3-

Polyatomic ion - a group of atoms which function as a group and which has a net positive or negative charge (cation or anion).Examples: NH4+ or NO3-

The Periodic Chart can show how the octet rule works. All of the Group I elements have one electron in the outside shell and they all have a valence of plus one. Group I elements will lose that one electron in the outside shell, to become a single positive ion with a full electron shell of eight electrons (an octet) in the s and p subshells under it.

Bonding
A bond is an attachment among atoms. Atoms may be held together for any of several reasons, but all bonds have to do with the electrons (particularly the outside electrons) of atoms.
There are several types of bonds:

Ionic bonds occur due to a full electrical charge difference attraction.

Covalent bonds occur due to sharing electrons.
There are bonds that come about from partial charges or the position or shape of electrons about an atom.

Ionic Bonds
The attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion is an ionic bond.

Some atoms (such as metals) tend to lose electrons to make the outside ring of electrons more stable. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion (or cation) because the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons.

Other atoms tend to gain electrons to complete the outside electron ring. The non-metal ions tend to gain electrons to fill out the outer shell. When the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons, the ion is negative. (Non-metal ions and most of the polyatomic ions have a negative charge.)

Ionic compounds - composed of cations and anions which are ionically bonded to each other due to attractions of opposite charges
1. Cations and anions combine in a ratio that produces a neutral compound; smallest whole number ratio is used for formula of an ionic compound.
e.g., Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl (one of each is needed to balance the charges: +1 and -1)
Mg+2 + Cl- ---> MgCl2(two Cl's are needed to balance the charges since Cl is -1 and Mg is +2 charge)
2. Cation is listed first, then anion in the formula

Lab 1: pH

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. It measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
A pH of 7 means it is a neutral solution. Pure water has a pH of 7.

A pH of less than 7 means the solution is acidic. A pH of more than 7 means the solution is basic.

The less pH, the more acidic the solution is. The more pH, the more basic the solution is.

pH stands for the power of H, or the amount of H+ ions acids or bases take or contribute in solution. pH equals the negative log of the concentration of H+.pH = -log[H+]When the concentration of H+ ions in a solution is 10-14, the pH is 14. In pure water, the average concentration of H+ ions is 10-7.

You will be performing a pH test on different solutions. You will determine the pH of the solutions with test strips and compare them to pH color chart. You will identify the similarities and differences of the different solutions.
