and forms Iron (II) sulfate and
copper
2. Magnesium combines with oxygen
gas to produce magnesium oxide
3. Hydrogen peroxide in the
presence of manganese dioxide
produces water and oxygen gas
4. Acetic acid and sodium
bicarbonate produce sodium
acetate with the release of carbon
dioxide gas and water
5. Copper (II) sulfate reacts with
sodium hydroxide to produce
insoluble copper (II) hydroxide and
sodium sulfate solution

 A chemical equation is a chemist’s
shorthand for a chemical reaction.
It shows the symbols or formulas of
the reactants and products and the
ratio of the substances as they react.

 Law of Conservation of Mass

It states that mass is conserved in a

chemical reaction. The total mass of the
reactants is equal to the total mass of the
products. No new atoms are created or
destroyed. There was only grouping and
regrouping (rearrangement) of atoms.

 Steps in Balancing Equations
Write the unbalanced chemical equation, make sure you have followed
correctly the rules in writing formulas of compounds.
 Take note of the elements present in the reactant and product side
 Count the number of atom/s of each element present in the reactant
and product side
 Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass to get the same number of
atoms of every element on each side of the equation. Balance chemical
equations by placing the appropriate coefficients before the symbol or
formula. Do not change the subscripts of the formula in an attempt to
balance the equation as it will change

 Let’s have an activity!

Apply the concept of Law of Conservation of Mass in balancing chemical

equations:

1. H2 +O2 H2O

2. N2 + H2 NH3

3. CH4 +O2 CO2 + H2O

12
 Classification of Chemical Reactions

1. COMBINATION REACTION: Reactants combine to form a single

product

2. DECOMPOSITION REACTION: A single reactant breaks down into

simpler ones. ( 2 or more products)

3. SINGLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION: This is when one element

replaces another element from a compound. The more active element
takes the place of the less active element in a compound.

13
 Classification of Chemical Reactions

4. DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION: This is when the positive ions

(cations) and negative ions (anions) of different compounds switch places
forming two entirely different compounds.

5. COMBUSTION REACTION: This is when oxygen combines with a

hydrocarbon to form water and carbon dioxide

6. ACID- BASE REACTION: This is a special type of double displacement

reaction that takes place when an acid and a base react with each other.
