Name: ___Robert Aubert___________________________________Date: 1/29/2013_______________________Student Exploration: Balancing Chemical EquationsDEFINE Vocabulary: coefficientCombination- a chemical reaction when two reactions combine to make oneCompound- a substance consisting of two or more elements Decomposition- the separation of a substance into a simpler form Double replacement- multiple elements that are getting swapped Element- a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical meanMolecule- a group of two or more atoms linked together by sharing electronsProduct- what you get from a chemical reaction, the final formReactant- a substance participating in a chemical reactionSingle replacement- one of the elements swapping with anotherSubscript- a figure, letter, or symbol written below or to the side of anotherPrior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) The scouts are making s’mores out of toasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers.What is wrong with the image below? ___not enough graham crackers________________________________________ 2. Assuming a s’more requires two graham crackers, one marshmallow, and one piece of chocolate, how many s’mores could you make with the ingredients shown? ___2__________Gizmo Warm-upIn a chemical reaction, reactants interact to form products. This process is summarized by a chemical equation. In the Balancing Chemical Equations Gizmo?, look at the floating molecules below the initial reaction: H2 + O2 ??? H2O.How many atoms are in a hydrogen molecule (H2)? _2__How many atoms are in an oxygen molecule (O2)? __2__ How many hydrogen and oxygen atoms are in a water molecule (H2O)? _______3_________In general, what does a subscript (such as the “2” in H2) tell you about the molecule? ________how many Hydrogen molecules there is ______________________________________________________________A chemical equation is balanced if the number of each type of atom on the left side is equal to the number of each type on the right side. Is this reaction balanced? _______no_________Activity A: Balancing equationsGet the Gizmo ready: Check that the Combination reaction is selected and that all coefficients are set to one. (The coefficients are the numbers in the boxes.)Introduction: The equation H2 + O2 ??? H2O is unbalanced because there are two oxygen atoms on the reactants side of the equation, and only one on the products side of the equation. To balance the equation, you cannot change the structure of any of the molecules, but you can change the number of molecules that are used.Question: How are chemical equations balanced?Balance: Turn on Show histograms. The equation is balanced when there are equal numbers of each type of atom represented on each side of the equation. In the Gizmo, use the up and down arrows to adjust the numbers of hydrogen, oxygen, and water molecules until the equation is balanced. When you are done, turn on Show summary to check your answer.Write the balanced equation here: __2___ H2 + ___1__ O2 ??? __2___ H2OSolve: Turn off Show summary. Use the Choose reaction drop down menu to see other equations, and balance them. Check your answers and then write the balanced equations.__2___ Al + ___6__ HCl ??? __2___ AlCl3 + _3____ H2___2__ NaCl ??? __2___ Na + _____ Cl2_____ Na2S + ___2__ HCl ??? ____2_ NaCl + _____ H2SPractice: Balance the following chemical equations. (These equations are not in the Gizmo.)___2__ Na + ___1__ Cl2 ??? __2___ NaCl_2____ Na + __2___ H2O ??? __4___ NaOH + __1___ H2___2__ Mg + __1___ O2 ??? ___2__ MgO___2__ KClO3 ??? ___2__ KCl + __3___ O2___4__ Al + ___6__ CuO ??? ____2_ Al2O3 + ___6__ Cu___1__ CaCO3 ??? ___1_ CaO + ____1_ CO2___1__ I2 + ___4__ Na2S2O3 ??? ___2__ NaI + __2___ Na2S4O6_6____ Mg + ___1__ P4 ??? __2___ Mg3P2Activity B: Classifying reactionsGet the Gizmo ready: Turn off Show summary and Show histograms.Introduction: Chemical equations show how compounds and elements react with one another. An element is a substance consisting of one kind of atom, such as aluminum (Al) or oxygen gas (O2). A compound is a substance made of more than one kind of atom, such as water (H2O) or table salt (NaCl).Question: How are chemical reactions classified?Match: Most chemical reactions can be classified as one of four types. Using the chemical equations in the Gizmo as a guide, match the following definitions to the type of reaction. b____ one reactant is broken down into two or more products._a___ Two or more reactants combine to form one product.__d__ two compounds react to form two different compounds. __c__ A compound reacts with an element to form a new compound and a different binationDecompositionSingle replacementDouble replacementPractice: Balance each of the chemical equations below. (Some equations may already be in balance.) In the space to the right, classify the reaction as a combination, decomposition, single replacement, or double replacement reaction.___ AgNO3 + ___ KCl ??? ___ AgCl + ___ KNO3double replacement___________________ H2O + ___ SO3 ???___ H2SO4 synthesis_________________________2_ KI + ___ Cl2 ??? _2__ KCl + ___ I2Synthesis_______________________ ___ NaHCO3 ??? ___ Na2CO3 + ___ H2O + ___ CO2__________combustion_______________ Zn + __2_ HCl ??? ___ ZnCl2 + ___ H2___single replacement_______________________ BaCl2 + ___ Na2SO4 ??? ___ BaSO4 + _2__ NaClDouble Replacement________________________2_ Ag2O ??? _4__ Ag + ___ O2_______decompostion________________2___ Al + __3_ CuCl2 ??? __2_ AlCl3 + __3_ Cusingle replacement______________ ................
