SIGNS of a Chemical Reaction– color change, odor produced, light or sound produced, precipitate produced, heat or cold produced, gas produced, burning, rusting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RmVwz2fNGc Law of Conservation of Mass In a chemical reaction, the mass before the reaction must equal the mass after the reaction Atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction
Formula Equation An expression that describes a chemical reaction Uses chemical formulas and symbols instead of words AKA: short hand way to write a chemical reaction
REACTANTS(left of arrow) substances that enter reaction
PRODUCTS(right of arrow)- new substances produced
A+BC+D
Symbols in Chemical Equations ,Yields
Coefficients whole numbers found in front of a chemical formula represents the number of units of each substance Coefficient is applied to each element in the formula USED TO SHOW LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
EX:
2Mg 2 atoms of magnesium 3CO2 3 molecules of carbon dioxide 4MgO 4 units of magnesium oxide
BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
PURPOSE: To show the law of conservation of mass
HOW TO: use coefficients in front of formulas so there are equal number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation. Do not change subscripts!
This is trial and error– I suggest you use pencil!!
