Chemical Reactions
Unit 8 Ah, chemical reactions: the really fun part of chemistry. Mixing things together and standing back to watch what happens. After all, we now know plenty about chemical bonds (our previous unit)…it’s time to break some. We’ll be doing lots of that in this unit. We have three labs with plenty of opportunity to mix stuff, and identify strange substances. Our goals are to: 1. Figure out if a chemical reaction is occurring 2. Determine what type of reaction is occurring 3. Find out exactly what is going on by writing a balanced chemical equation 4. Become skilled at performing reactions by using appropriate solvents 5. Apply our knowledge to working with some acids and bases 6. Use all of this knowledge to identify mysterious unknown substances 7. Think about how we can perform chemical reactions using exactly the right amounts of reactantsthis will be the subject of our next unit: Stoichiometry. Tentative Schedule

Identification of Unknown Chemicals Experiment There are five flasks containing solutions that are unlabeled. They are: 1. Hydrochloric Acid in water: HCl (aq.) 2. Salt water: NaCl (aq.) 3. Sugar water: C6H12O6 (aq.) 4. Baking soda in water: NaHCO3 (aq.) 5. Pure Water: H2O (l). Your job is to figure out the identity of each unknown. As always, NEVER TASTE anything in the lab. Some of these chemicals, especially hydrochloric acid, are highly toxic. Solid and aqueous samples of each are available. Suggestions: Think about the reactivity of each substance. Is there something it will react with that will reveal it’s identity? -You may want to mix different combinations of 2 unknowns. Only mix a few drops of each: 1 mL of each unknown is all you get. -You may want to test the pH your unknowns and compare them to authentic samples.
On the following page, indicate the identity of each unknown, and your data that supports that conclusion.

Name________________________________Period_______________WS8.1 Physical and Chemical Change Worksheet Imagine a new spring day. The snow is melting, birds are singing. You’re inside by a warm fire, drinking hot cocoa. Consider all these changes that are going on from a chemists perspective. What is happening? Are all of these observations examples of chemical reactions? Or are they physical processes? In a physical change the identity of the substance is retained. For example, when water boils, it is converted from liquid water to steam- but it is still water. In a chemical change, the identity of the substance changes. For example, baking soda mixed with vinegar forms several new substances, including carbon dioxide gas. We can summarize four of the common signs of a chemical reaction by using the acronym COOL:
Color Odor Outgassing Lower or Higher Temperature Note that they are only signs- you may observe all of them and others as well, and it is still only a physical change. The only way to know for sure is to chemically analyze what happened. ___________________________________________________________________ 1. Ice melts.

Balancing Chemical Equations It was discovered in 1909 that if you mix nitrogen and hydrogen under the right conditions it will form ammonia (NH3), which is useful for cleaning windows, fertilizer, and munitions. It is now known as the Haber Process. But how much of each should you use? We can find out by writing a balanced chemical equation. We start by writing a chemical equation, and place lines in front of each reactant ____ N2 + ____ H2 ____ NH3 Substances often don’t react in a 1:1 ratio. To find out the ratios, we modify the number of molecules on each side until it is balanced. Look at the reaction above. There are two nitrogen atoms as reactants, but only one for product. We fix this by placing a 2 in front of the ammonia product. But now we have only two hydrogen atoms reacting, but they are forming 6 hydrogen atoms. We solve this by placing a 3 in front of hydrogen, and it is now balanced: 1 N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3 This tells us we need a lot of hydrogen for this reaction- three molecules of hydrogen for each molecule of nitrogen. ____________________________________________________________________________

How to Ace the Reactions Exam
In this our eighth unit we explored the world of chemical reactions. This is the fundamental chemistry process: mixing things together and seeing what happens. We began by looking for the 4 COOL signs of a chemical reaction. We then focused on writing balanced chemical reactions- this is probably the toughest part of the unit. Be sure to know how to write ionic compounds correctly- we can’t balance a reaction unless it is written accurately. We then performed each of the 5 types of reactions, to get a feel for each one. In many cases we are now able to predict the products of a reaction. Ionic compounds tend to undergo replacement, combustion reactions often give the same products, and decomposition reactions often form stable common substances. To wrap up this unit we looked at the advantages of using solvents for chemical reactions. We took a sneak peek at acids and bases, which are really a subset of ionic compound s. We completed the unit by looking at reactions from the point of view of what really strikes your eye: precipitates. Performing and balancing reactions shows us the ratio that substances react in, but it still doesn’t tell us how much to mass out to do these reactions properly. This is the topic of the next unit: Stoichiometry and the Mole. To ace this unit review your notes, labs, worksheets, and this how to ace it guide. 1. What are the 4 signs of a chemical Reaction?
Suggest two other possible signs of a chemical reaction. Give examples of signs of a chemical reaction that are false positives.
2. Balancing Chemical Equations -given formulas: ___H2 + ___O2 ____H2O -given word equations: mixing hydrogen and oxygen can create water. -given starting materials only, predict the product: Write a balanced chemical equation describing the reaction of sodium chloride and Magnesium fluoride. -combustion. Write a balanced chemical equation for burning hexane (C6H14).

-practice writing ionic formulas: calcium hydroxide; iron (II) sulfate, etc. Ion charts will be available, as will the periodic table with the names of each elements. You will save a great deal of time by memorizing the common ions and elements.
3. The 5 types of reactions: 4. Precipitates- what is a precipitate?
5. Why solvents are your friends:
6. Solute and solvent:
7. Acids and bases: what they are; how they react.
8. The difference between salt water and sugar water: 9. Consider the chemical reactions you experience each day. You get up. You are breathing…that’s good. Now a biochemist could spend hours explaining it, but to us chemists you are taking in oxygen, it combines with carbon, and you exhale carbon dioxide. You’re doing it right now. We can write this as a balanced chemical reaction indicating the physical states (s, l, g, or aq) of the reactants and products as: ________( ) + _______ ( ) ________ ( ). OK, next you make a cup of tea. You put the kettle on, and your gas stove lights up. Yes, you have a gas stove, which uses a big propane tank next to your house. This is the combustion of propane (C3H8), which we can write as a balanced chemical reaction: ________( ) + _______ ( ) ________ ( ) + ________( ). You drink the tea, and eat something. Your body converts this food to energy using enzymes to catalyze the reactions, and the process is complex. Time for school. You hop in the car and fire it up, and the combustion of the hexane (C6H14) takes place in your engine: ________( ) + _______ ( ) ________ ( ) + ________( ). At school everything is going fine, but then you start to feel sick, and you go see the nurse. You are diagnosed with a sour stomach, and the nurse suggests you add some milk to your tea next time. She gives you some antacid tablets (Na2CO3) which react with the excess hydrochloric acid in your stomach: ________( ) + _______ ( ) ________ ( ) + ________( ). And you feel much better. The rest of the day is yet another wonderful day of learning at Guilford High School. You confidently ace your chemical reactions test
