Lesson
What is Chemical Reaction
1 and It’s Evidences

Are you fascinated with the colors of the fireworks during New Year? Isn't it a
perfect scene for the selfie generation? How about the aromas coming from the
barbecue station? What do fireworks and smell of barbecue have in common?

2
 Atoms rearrange during fireworks and cooking of barbecue. The
rearrangement of atoms are called chemical reactions. Chemical reactions are
happening everywhere. Chemical reaction happens when you mix the sugar and

What is It

Chemical reaction is another name for chemical change. Chemical reactions

affect every part of your life. They break down your food, producing the energy you
need to live. Chemical reactions in the engines of cars and buses provide the energy
to power the vehicles. They produce fibers like in cotton and wool, in plants and
animals. Moreover, chemical reactions produces new products. There are things
which help us that a reaction is taking place or the evidence of a chemical reaction.
These are the following:

1. Production of light
2. Evolution of gas
3. Temperature change
4. Change in intrinsic properties (color, odor)
5. Formation of precipitate

Chemical equation is use to represent chemical reaction. It shows a reactant,

the starting point and the product, which are the substances formed after the
reaction. Symbols are used to represent meanings on the chemical reaction. Below
are the following symbols.

Symbols Used in Equations

Symbol Purpose

What is It
A. Steps in Balancing Chemical Equation
Step 1: Count the atoms in each side of the equation. In the equation

S8 + O2 → SO2
Atom Reactant side Product side
Sulfur 8 1
Oxygen 2 2
Note: If there is nothing after the element we assume that to be 1.

Step 2. The BIG rule: Only change the coefficients. Those are the number in front of
the atoms. If no coefficient is written, we assume it as one. The number after the
atoms, the subscript, cannot be changed.
Coefficient

S8 + O2 → SO2
Atom Reactant side Product side
Sulfur Subscript 8 1
Oxygen 2 2

The equation is not balance, so we will start with the first element sulfur, the number
of atoms in sulfur is 8 on the reactant side, to make it balance, write 8 coefficient in
the product side.
8 x 2 = 16 for the sulfur in the product side

12
 S8 + O2 → 8 SO2
Atom Reactant side Product side
Sulfur 8 1, 8
Oxygen 2 2, 16

But the eight (8) in the product side is times (2) in Oxygen. So oxygen becomes 16.
The sulfur is fixed but the oxygen is not balance. Change the coefficient of the
oxygen in the reactant side by putting 8 because 8 times 2 equals 16 oxygen atoms.
S8 + 8 O2 → 8 SO2
Atom Reactant side Product side
Sulfur 8 1, 8
Oxygen 2, 16 2, 16
So the balance equation now is S8 + 8 O2 → 8 SO2

On the reaction of magnesium ribbon and oxygen ( Burning magnesium ribbon)

Step 1: Count the atoms in each side of the equation.
Mg + O2 → MgO
Atom Reactant side Product side
Mg 1 1
Oxygen 2 1
Note: If there is nothing after the element we assume that to be 1.

Step 2. The BIG rule: Only change the coefficients. Those are the number in front of
the atoms. If no coefficient is written, we assume it as one. The number after the
atoms, the subscript, cannot be changed.

The equation is not balance, so we will start with the unbalance element Oxygen, the
number of atoms in oxygen is 1 on the reactant side, to make it balance, write 2
coefficient in the product side.
2 x 1 = 2 for the oxygen in the product side
2Mg + O2 → 2 MgO

Atom Reactant side Product side

Mg 1, 2 1, 2
Oxygen 2 1, 2

But the eight (2) in the product side is times (2) in oxygen and magnesium. So
oxygen becomes 2 and magnesium becomes 2. The magnesium and oxygen in the
product side are fixed but the magnesium is not balance. Change the coefficient of
the magnesium in the reactant side by putting 2 because 1 times 2 equals 2
magnesium atoms. The balanced equation now is

2Mg + O2 → 2 MgO
The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is
neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical
reaction must equal the mass of the reactants. For example, when wood burns, the

13
mass of the soot, ashes, and gases, equals the original mass of the charcoal and the
oxygen when it first reacted. So the mass of the product equals the mass of the
reactant. All chemical equations must be balanced because matter cannot be
created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms
of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side. Balancing
chemical equations is a process of trial and error. To balance the chemical reaction,
the following steps must be considered.
1. Count the atoms in each side of the equation.
2. The BIG Rule: Only change the coefficients. Those are the number in front of
the atoms. Place the coefficient, as needed, in front of the symbols If no coefficient is
written, we assume it as one. The number after the atoms, the subscript, cannot be
changed.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the equation is balanced.

Guide Question?

1. Which scene has a “forever”?

2. Which scene has no “forever”?

What is It

Chemists classify chemical reactions in order to organize the many reactions

that occur daily. Knowing the categories of chemical reactions can help you
remember and understand them. It can also help you recognize patterns and predict
the products of many chemical reactions. One way chemists classify reactions is to
distinguish among the four types: synthesis, combustion, decomposition, and
replacement reactions.
Synthesis reaction — a chemical reaction in which two or more substances (A and
B) react to produce a single product (AB).
A + B → AB

19
 2Na(s) Cl2 (g) → 2NaCI(s)

[Note: Refer to scene 1 for analogy]

Decomposition reaction is one in which a single compound breaks down into two
or more elements or new compounds.
AB → A + B

2Na N3(s) → 2Na(s) + 3 N 2 (g)

[Note: Refer to scene 2 for analogy]

Single-replacement reaction - reaction in which the atoms of one element replace

the atoms of another element in a compound.
A + BX → AX + B

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3) 2 (aq)

[Note: Refer to scene 3 for analogy]

Double-replacement reactions The final type of replacement reaction, which

involves an exchange of ions between two compounds.
AX + BY → AY + BX

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl 2(aq) + 2H 2O(l)

[Note: Refer to scene 4 for analogy]

Combustion Reaction is when oxygen combines with a substance and releases

energy in the form of heat and light.
A + O2 → AO

C H 4 (g) + 2O 2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H 2O(g)

Acid-Base Reaction is a reaction when an acid reacts with base. The H + of the acid
reacts with the OH- of the base forming water. The other product is salt
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
