What’s New

Figure 1. Rusting Nail

How long does a nail take to rust? The reaction rate of the iron forming into rust
depends on its exposure to oxygen. The "rust" is actually iron oxide, which is reddish and
flaky in appearance and forms when the iron in the nail reacts with the oxygen in the air or
to moisture. The time it takes a nail to rust depends on its exposure to oxygen. The
chemical equation for rusting of nail is:

4 Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Fe2 O3(s)

Iron reacts with Oxygen gas to produce Iron (III) oxide (rust)

Directions: Read and answer the following guide questions: Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper.
Guide Questions
1. What causes nail to rust?
2. Enumerate factors that causes metal rusting.
3. What are the reactants of rust?
4. What makes rust form faster? Is it considered as catalyst?
5. Is rusting of nail considered a physical or chemical change?

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can neither be created
nor destroyed but it can be rearranged. In chemical reaction the mass of the
reactants should always be equal to the mass of the products. For example, when
iron nail is exposed to oxygen gas rust is formed. The combined mass of the iron
and oxygen is equal to the mass of the rusted nail. The chemical equation below
shows that the number of atoms of the reactant is equal to the number of atoms of
the product.
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g)  2Fe2O3(s)

The ancient greek first introduced the idea that

the total amount of matter in the universe is
constant. Until, Antoine Lavoisier discovered the
law of conservation of mass (or the principle of
mass/matter conservation) as a fundamental
principle of Physics in 1789.

The law states that, in spite of chemical reactions

Figure 4 . Antoine Lavoisier or physical transformations, mass is always
https://sciencechemboom. conserved. In other words, in a chemical reaction,

 What is It

BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATIONS

A chemical equation is a short way in which all substances involved in a
chemical reaction are symbolically represented. For example, Hydrogen gas and Oxygen
gas would form water. To express this chemical reaction in chemical equations, an
example is shown below.

Figure 5. Other significant parts of chemical equation

The small number in the equation is called subscript, it indicates the number of
atoms in a molecule. While, the number before the molecule is called coefficient, it is not
the type of molecules, coefficient indicates how many of that molecule is present.

Steps in Balancing Chemical Equation

Step 1. Assemble the parts of chemical equation.

Reactants are on the left side of the arrow while products are on the right side. In
cases that there are more than one reactant and/or product, the “+“ symbol is used to
separate molecules in both sides of the chemical equation.
Molecules present in both reactant and product side are represented by chemical
formula. The chemical formula should be specific accompanied by subscript, subscript,
and phase enclosed in a parenthesis.
.

H2(g) + O2(g)  H2O(l)

Reactants  Product

Step 2. Count the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and the
products.
List all the elements present in both reactants and products. Then, count the
number of atoms in both sides of the chemical equation. Notice that the number of
atoms of Oxygen gas is not balance.

Reactant Product
H: 2 H: 2
O: 2 O: 1

6
Step 3. Balance the chemical equation.
Both sides of the equation should have the same number of atoms of each element
for the chemical equation to be balanced. Remember that only the coefficient can be
changed or adjusted to balance the equation. Do not alter the subscript in the chemical
formula.
By adding 2 as a coefficient of H 2 in reactant side and H2O in the product side will
make the equation balanced. There are four atoms of H on the product side and two on the
reactant side

2H2(g) + O2(g)  2H2O(l)

Reactant Product

H: 2(2) = 4 H: 2(2) = 4
O: 2 O: 1(2) = 2

Balanced chemical equation is an important aspect in chemical reactions. All

chemical reactions, whether simple or complex, involve transformation of substances into
new form.
Chemical reactions may occur slowly or rapidly. The rate of the reaction may be
affected by different factors such as the nature and concentration of the reactants,
changes in temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalyst. However, among the
given factors the presence of catalyst can provide a much faster reaction mechanism.
Catalyst is a material that increases the rate of chemical reaction with itself not
undergoing any permanent change or without being used up, instead it must take part in
the reaction

PRACTICE EXERCISES

Example 1. MgCl2(aq) + Na2O(s) → MgO(s) + NaCl(s)

Step 1. Assemble the parts of chemical equation.

MgCl2(aq) + Na2O(s) → MgO(s) + NaCl(s)

Reactants → Products

Step 2. Count the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and the products.
Notice the number of atoms in sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) is not balanced.

Reactant Product
Mg: 1 Mg: 1
Cl: 2 Cl: 1
Na: 2 Na: 1
O: 1 O: 1

7
Step 3. Balance the chemical equation by adding appropriate coefficient to both reactant
and product until the equation becomes balanced.
The NaCl in the product side was given a coefficient of 2 to balance the
equation.
MgCl2(aq) + Na2O(s) → MgO(s) + 2NaCl(s)

Reactant Product
Mg: 1 Mg: 1
Cl: 2 Cl: 2
Na: 2 Na: 2
O: 1 O: 1

Example 2. CO(g)+Fe2O3 (s) → Fe (s)+ CO2(g)

Step 1. Assemble the parts of chemical equation.

CO(g)+Fe2O3 (s) → Fe (s)+ CO2(g)

Reactants → Products

Step 2. Count the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and the products.
Notice that the number of Oxygen (O )and Iron (Fe) is not balance.

Reactant Product
C: 1 C: 1
O: 3 O: 2
Fe: 2 Fe: 1

Step 3. Balance the chemical equation by adding appropriate coefficient to both

reactant and product until the equation becomes balanced.
The CO were given 3 and 2 was given to Fe as the coefficient of both side to
balance the equation.

3CO(g)+ 2 Fe2O3(s)→ 3Fe(s)+ CO2(g)

Reactant Product
C: 1(3) = 3 C: 1(3) = 3
O: 3+3 = 6 O: 2(3) = 6
Fe: 2(4) = 2 Fe: 1(2) = 2

8
Example 3. SnO2(aq) + H2(g) → Sn(s) + H2O(g)

Step 1. Assemble the parts of chemical equation.

SnO2(aq) + H2(g) → Sn(s) + H2O(g)

Reactants Products

Step 2. Count the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and the
products. Notice the number of atoms in Oxygen gas is not balanced.

Reactant Product
Sn: 1 Sn: 1
O: 2 O: 1
H: 2 H: 2

Step 3. Balance the chemical equation by adding appropriate coefficient to both

reactant and product until the equation becomes balanced.
The H2 on the reactant side and H2O on the product side were given the coefficient
of 2 to balanced the reaction.

SnO2 + 2H2 → Sn + 2H2O

Reactant Product
Sn: 1 Sn: 1
O: 2 O: 2
H: 2(2) = 4 H: 2(2) = 4
