Understanding Chemical Equations
Warm Up: What does it mean to CONSERVE something? Provide an everyday example. Parts of a chemical equation. Label the following diagram using the following terms: PRODUCT, REACTANTS, SUBSCRIPTS, COEFFICIENT, AND YIELDS.Please spell correctly and write EXACTLY how the words are written above. COEFFICIENT REACTANTS SUBSCRIPTS YIELDS PRODUCT Look at the chemical equation below. Which substances are the reactants and which are the products?Mg + Cl2 --> MgCl2 Reactants Mg Cl2 Products MgCl2 Identifying Coefficients, Subscripts, Reactants, and Products. Circle ALL coefficients in the chemical equation. Put a square around ALL subscripts in the chemical equation.Draw a star above the reactants side of the chemical equation.Draw a triangle above the products side of the chemical equation. How many atoms of hydrogen and chlorine are in the following chemical formula?2HCl H =2Cl = 1 H =2Cl = 2 H =1Cl = 1 How many atoms of carbon and oxygen are in the following chemical formula?CO2 C = 1O =2 C = 2O =2 C = 1O =1 How many atoms of hydrogen are in the following molecule?5H2 5 2 10 How many atoms of each element are in this compound, Cu3(PO4)2? Cu 3 P 2 O 8 Exit Ticket: How would you explain the parts of a chemical equation to someone (in words)? Include the terms: product, reactants, subscripts, and coefficients.
