WORKSHEET in Science 10 for Fourth Quarter (April 17-18, 2024): CHEMICAL REACTION

CHEMICAL REACTION- refers to a process in which atoms of the same or different elements rearrange themselves to form
a new substance. There are several indicators that a chemical reaction has taken place.
A. Color change. Reactions can change the color of substances. For example, a once silvery metal can turn to
brownish orange (rust)
B. Temperature change. A substance can become either hot or cold during a reaction. An increase in temperature
means that the reaction releases heat energy, while a decrease in temperature signifies the absorption of energy.
C. Emission of light. A chemical reaction can produce light as potential energy in the valence electrons is released.
D. Evolution of gas. Also observed of bubbles in the reaction mixture, gas is sometimes produced during a reaction.
E. Precipitation. Some chemical reactions result in the formation of a solid insoluble substance, called precipitate, in
the liquid medium.
F. Change in voltage. Voltage may also change in a reacting medium because of the movement of electrons to and
from the reacting substance.

Chemical reactions can be represented by chemical equations. A chemical equation consists of symbols and formulas of
the reacting substances and their products. For example, the following equation represents the reaction between zinc and
hydrochloric acid.
Zn + 2HCl ZnCl 2 + H2
In a chemical equation, the reaction substances, called reactants, are shown on the left of the arrow. The resulting
substances from the equation are written on the other side of the arrow and are called products.

SYMBOLS IN THE CHEMICAL EQUATION

SYMBOL USE
+ Written between the symbols and/or reactants or products. To show
combination of reactants or products.
Means “yields” or “produces” separates reactants from products
(s), (l), (g), (aq) (s)-solid, (l) -liquid, (g)- gas, (aq)- aqueous (substance is dissolved in
water)
Used for reversible reactions in place of a single arrow.

Indicates that heat must be supplied to reactants before a reaction

occurs
MnO2 The substance written above the arrow is a catalyst or solvent.

TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

A. COMBINATION Reaction (Synthesis) . A reaction when 2 or more reactants combine to form a single product. It is
represented by the equation
A + B AB
2Mg (s) + O2 (g) 2MgO (s)

B. DECOMPOSITION Reaction. In this reaction, a single reactant breaks down into simpler ones (2 or more products).
This is the reverse of combination reaction.
A B A + B
2 MgO (s) 2Mg (s) + O 2 (g)

C. SINGLE DISPLACEMENT Reaction. This is when one element replaces another element from a compound. The
more active element takes the place of a less active element in a compound. The formula is
A + BC AC + B
Fe(s) + CuSO4(s) FeSO4(s) + Cu (s)

D. DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT Reaction (Metathesis). This is when positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) of
different compounds switch places, forming two entirely different compounds. The formula is
AB + CD AD + CB
NaOH + KNO3 NaNO3 + KOH

E. COMBUSTION (Burning). This is when oxygen combines with a hydrocarbon (compound containing hydrogen and
carbon) to form a water and carbon dioxide. Example of which is the burning of butane gas.
C4H10 + O2 CO2 + H2O

F. ACID-BASE Reaction. This is a special kind of double displacement reaction that takes place when acid and base
react with each other. The H+ of the acid reacts with the OH- of the base forming water. The other product is salt.
Example of which is
HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that the mass is neither created nor destroyed in any ordinary chemical
reactions. This follows that, in a reaction, the total mass of the products is always equal to the total mass of the reactants.
A chemical equation must be balanced to show that chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass.

STEPS IN BALANCING EQUATIONS:

1.Write the unbalanced chemical equation, H2 + O2 H 2O
make sure you have followed correctly the
rules in writing formulas of compounds.
2. Take note of the elements present in the Reactants Products
reactant and product side H H
O O
3. Count the number of atom/s of each Reactants Products
element present in the reactant and product H =2 atoms H = 2 atoms
side O = 2 atoms O = 1 atom
4. Apply the Law of Conservation ofMass to
get the same number of atoms of every
element on each side of the equation.

Balance chemical equations by placing the 2 H2 + O 2 2 H2 O

appropriate coefficients before the symbol or
formula. Reactants Products
H = 4 atoms H = 4 atoms
Do not change the subscripts of the formula in O = 2 atoms O = 2 atoms
an attempt to balance the equation as it will
change the identity of the components.  The chemical equation is balanced now by writing 2 as
the coefficients.
