    Chemical Reaction and Equations

    Phase changes of water, such as melting and boiling, are physical changes, not chemical changes. Physical changes alter the physical properties of a substance but do not change its chemical composition or identity. When water melts from ice or boils from liquid to vapor, it remains H2O - the same substance chemically. Its state or phase has changed, but not its chemical makeup. Therefore, phase changes of water are physical, not chemical changes.

    1. What is a chemical equation? What information is given in the equation? List at


    least three things.

    A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in terms


    of chemical formulas. An example of a chemical equation would be:
    2Na + Cl2 -> 2NaCl
    This chemical equation would stand for the burning of sodium in chlorine to
    produce sodium chloride. The formulas on the left side of the equation would stand
    for the reactant. A reactant is the starting substance in a reaction. The arrow, ->,
    means either "yields" or "reacts to form." The formulas to the right of the arrow
    stand for the product formed in the chemical reaction. A product is the substance
    that results from a chemical reaction. The coefficient in front of the Na, 2, gives the
    number of molecules or formula units involved in the reaction. Coefficients of one are
    usually understood, so they are not written. Sometimes it helps to indicate the states
    or phases of the substances in a chemical reaction.

    2. What evidence might there be of a chemical reaction in each of the following


    examples? Be specific in your description of what you might observe.
    a. Bleaching of a stain in your clothes.

    b. Rusting of a wheelbarrow.

    c. Burning of a birthday candle.

    3. Write and balance an equation for each of the following reactions.

    a. Lithium (Li(s)) and oxygen (O2(g)) react to form lithium oxide (Li2O(s))

    b. Iron (Fe(s)) and oxygen (S(s)) react to form iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3(s))

    c. Lead nitrate(Pb(NO3)2(aq) ) reacts with sodium iodide (NaI(aq)) to form lead iodide(PbI2(s))
    and sodium nitrate(NaNO3(aq))
    4. Classify each reaction a combination, decomposition, single replacement or double
    replacement.
    a. 2AgNO3 + Cu → Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
    ______________________________

    b. 2HgO → 2Hg + O2
    ______________________________

    c. C + O2 → CO2
    ______________________________

    d. HNO3 + KOH → KNO3 + H2O ______________________________

    5. Are the phase changes of water examples of physical or chemical changes? Justify
    your answer.
