Skeleton equations
A skeleton equation is a chemical equation that does not indicate the relative amounts of the reactants and products.
Write the formulas of the reactants to the left of the yields sign (arrow) and the formulas of the products to the right.
Here is the equation for rusting:
Metallic Iron reacts with oxygen in the air to produce iron (III) oxide (rust).

Law of Conservation of Mass
“We may lay it down as an incontestable axiom that, in all the operations of art and nature, nothing is created; an equal amount of matter exists both before and after the experiment. Upon this principle, the whole art of performing chemical experiments depends.”
--Antoine Lavoisier, 1789

Balancing Equations
Slide 16 / 142
To write a balanced chemical equation, first write the skeleton equation. Then use coefficients to balance the equation so that it obeys the law of conservation of mass.
This is a balanced equation for making a bicycle. The numbers are called coefficients—small whole numbers that are placed in front of the formulas in an equation in order to balance it.

Balancing chemical equations
Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
First write a skeleton equation
Cl2 + NaBr # # Br2 + NaCl
Slide 24 / 142
Balancing chemical equations
Then, count up the number of each type of element on each side of the reaction
Cl2 + NaBr # # Br2 + NaCl
Reactants ProductsCl: 2 Cl: 1
Na: 1 Na: 1
Br: 1 Br: 2
Slide 25 / 142
Balancing chemical equationsNext, identify one element that is not balanced. It is best to start with an easy element. The fewer places an element appears on
both sides of a reaction, the easier it will be to balance.

Na: 1 Na: 1
Br: 1 Br: 2
Slide 27 / 142
Balancing chemical equationsDetermine which molecule or element will be getting the
coefficient. In this case, because we need more chlorine on the products side, we will have to add a coefficent to the NaCl, since
that is the only product containing chlorine.

Slide 28 / 142
Balancing chemical equations
To figure out what the coefficient should be, simply take the amount of that specific element you need from the molecule, and divide by the
amount of the element you have in the molecule.

Slide 51 / 142
Double Displacement Reactions
Precipitation reactions are often called "double replacement" or "double displacement" reactions because it appears as if the ions switch places with each other.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Na+ and Ag+ switch places

Slide 58 / 142
Precipitation ReactionsIn order to better represent what is actually happening in a precipitation reaction, two things must be accounted for:
1. The ions that comprise a soluble ionic compound are separated when dissolved in water. For example....
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
can be written in ionic form as
Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Ag+(aq) + NO3(aq)- --> AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
Slide 59 / 142
Precipitation Reactions
In order to better represent what is actually happening in a precipitation reaction, two things must be accounted for:
2. Ions not involved in the reaction (not involved in the formation of the precipitate) are called spectator ions and can be eliminated. Reactions written this way are called Net Ionic Equations.
Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> AgCl(s)
Slide 60 / 142
The complete ionic equation shows all aqueous substances (i.e. strong acids, strong bases, and soluble ionic compounds) dissociated into their ions.
For example:
NaCl (aq) would be written as Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Note: all ionic compound if soluble in water will readily dissociate into the corresponding (+) and (-) ions.

Net Ionic Equations
Slide 62 / 142
However, when all the aqueous species are dissociated into their respective ions, it becomes:
Ag+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) + K+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) --->AgCl (s) + K+ (aq) + NO3
- (aq)
Writing Net Ionic Equations
The equation between silver nitrate and potassium chloride would normally be shown as
AgNO3 (aq) + KCl(aq) --->AgCl (s) + KNO3 (aq)
This is called the complete ionic equation.
Note that the insoluble product does not dissociate.
Slide 63 / 142
Spectator Ions
Ag (aq) + NO3-(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --->AgCl (s) + K+(aq) + NO3- (aq)
As this example shows, certain ions are present both before and after the reaction. Because they play no significant role in the reaction, they are known as "spectator ions."
A spectator ion is an ion that appears on both sides of an equation and is not directly involved in the reaction.
Slide 64 / 142
The net ionic equation is an equation for a reaction in solution that shows only those particles that are directly involved in the chemical change.
To form the net ionic equation, cross out anything that does not change from the left side of the equation to the right.
In other words, cancel out the spectator ions.
Writing Net Ionic Equations
Ag (aq) + NO3-(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --->AgCl (s) + K+(aq) + NO3- (aq)
Slide 65 / 142
After cancelling out the spectator ions, the only things left in the equation are those things that change, or react, during the course of the reaction.
Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl (s)
Writing Net Ionic Equations
Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl (s) + K+(aq) + NO3

Oxidation/Reduction Reactions
The thermite reaction between iron(III)oxide and Al generates a lot of heat!
Recall that Oxidation/Reduction Reactions involve exchange of electrons between atoms/ions
Slide 79 / 142
Oxidation/Reduction Reactions
These reactions, often called REDOX reactions, involve a transfer of electrons from one element to another.

Slide 81 / 142
Determining Oxidation StatesIn order to determine if a reaction is an oxidation/reduction reaction and which element got oxidized or reduced, one must be able to track the charges (oxidation states) of elements throughout the reaction.
Zn + 2H+ --> Zn2+ + H2
0 +1 +2 0Oxidation States
Since the charges on both the zinc and hydrogen change, this is definitely a redox reaction.
Slide 82 / 142
Determining Oxidation States
Substance Oxidation State
H2(g) 0
Ca(s) 0
Na+(aq) +1
F-(aq) -1
All elements in their standard (neutral) state, have an oxidation state of zero. If the element has a charge listed, this is it's
oxidation state.
Slide 83 / 142
Rule 1: The charges of all the elements in the compound have to add up to the charge of the compound.
Example: ZnO The compound is neutral so...
Charge of Zn + Charge of O = 0
Example: NO3- The compound has a charge of -1 so...
Charge of N + charge of O = -1
Determining Oxidation StatesIf the element is combined with others, the oxidation state will have to be deduced using the periodic table, your knowledge of ionic compounds, and some mathematics. Here are some general guidelines...
Slide 84 / 142
Guideline 1: The charges of all the elements in the compound have to add up to the charge of the compound.
Guideline 2: Using your periodic table, find the charge on the anion and use this and what you know to be the charge on the whole compound to find the charge on the cation. Typically, the cation is written first and the anion second.
Example: ZnO Charges
zinc oxide ZnO
? 2- 0
2+ + 2- = 0
zinc has a +2 oxidation state!

For elements containing three elements, find the oxidation states of the first and last from the periodic table and then find the middle element (usually but not always a transition metal).
Example: Na2S2O3
Charges
Na x2 Sx2 Ox3 Na2S2O3
+1(2)= +2 ? -2(3) = -6 0
2 + 4 -6 0
Determining Oxidation States
Since Sx2 = 4, each sulfur will have a charge of just +2
so....Na =+1, S =+2, and O = -2
Slide 93 / 142
Example: Mg(OH)2
charges
Mg Ox2 Hx2 Mg(OH)2
+2 -2(2)=-4 +1(2)=+2 0
2 + -4 + 2 = 0
All of these charges could be obtained using the periodic table so nothing needed to be figured out!
Mg = +2, O = -2, and H = +1
Determining Oxidation States
Slide 94 / 142
Example: KMnO4
charges

Which species got oxidized/reduced?
To determine which species in a reaction got oxidized or reduced, one must know what it means to be oxidized and reduced.Oxidation = Loss of electrons
Na --> Na+ + e-
0 --> +1
Notice that an element becomes more + when it gets oxidized.
Reduction = Gain of electrons
Mg2+ + 2e - --> Mg

Types of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Slide 113 / 142
Types of Oxidation/Reduction Reactions
There are essentially four types of Redox reactions:1. Synthesis or Combination - two or more substances combine
2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)
2. Decomposition - a substance breaks into two or more compounds
2LiClO3(s) --> 2LiCl(s) + 3O2(g)
3. Combustion - a substance reacts with oxygen.
C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
4. Disproportionation - the same material gets both oxidized and reduced
Hg2Cl2 → Hg + HgCl2

Identifying Reaction Types
Slide 137 / 142
Identifying what kind of reaction it is?
One can determine the type of chemical reaction by following some basic guidelines....
1) Are you forming a precipitate?
Look for the formation of an insoluble solid
2) Check to see if H+ ions are being transferred?
If so, you've got an acid/base reaction
3) Check oxidation states
If they change, you've got an oxidation/reduction reaction
Slide 138 / 142
Identifying what kind of reaction it is?
What kind of reaction is the following?
C4H8(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) + H2O(g)
1) Is there a precipitate?
2) Is there a transfer of H+ ions?
3) Check oxidation states....
Slide 139 / 142
Identifying what kind of reaction it is?
What kind of reaction is the following?
C4H8(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) + H2O(g)
1) Is there a precipitate? No - So... not a precipitation reaction
2) Is there a transfer of H+ ions? No - So...not an acid/base reaction
3) Check oxidation states....
C4H8(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) + H2O(g)
