Chemical Reactions | Hoarhak Hoafn'exng |
A chemical change is called a chemical reaction. In order to communicate with one another about chemical reactions, chemists have devised a standard way to represent them. Here we will deal with two related aspects of describing chemical reactions by the use of chemical symbols --- writing chemical equations and balancing chemical equations. | Hoarhak-piernboax kiorzox hoarhak- hoafn'exng. hoarhak-kaf uixtioh boeq hoxsiofng kothofng hoarhak-hoafn'exng, ciu sviuxzhud thafng ka y piawsi ee piauzurn-honghoad.

Writing
Chemical Equations
Consider what happens when hydrogen gas (H2) burns in air (which contains oxygen, O2) to form water (H2O). This reaction can be represented by the chemical equation: H2 + O2 ¡÷ H2O, where the + sign means "reacts with" and the ¡÷ sign means "to yield". |

This equation is not complete, however, because
there are twice as many oxygen atoms on the left side of the arrow as on
the right side. To conform with the law of conservation of mass,
there must be same number of each tupe atom on both sides of the arrow.
We can "balance" the expression by placing an appropriate coefficient 2
in front of H2
and H2O:
2H2 + O2 ¡÷ 2H2O. |

This "balanced chemical equation" shows that "two hydorgen molecules can combine or react with one oxygen molecule to form two water molecules". This can also be read as "2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water," which is equivalent to say "4.04 g of H2 react with 32.00 g of O2 to give 36.04 g of H2O." | Cit'ee "pengheeng-hor ee hoarhagseg" korng "nngxee Hydorgen hunzuo oe kab cidee Oxygen hunzuo hofn'exng laai hengseeng nngxee zuie hunzuo".

To provide additional, and
often very useful, information when writing chemical equation, chemists
often indicate the physical states of the reactants and products by using
the abbreviation g, l, and s in parentheses to denote the
gas, liquid, and solid state, respectively. For example:
2CO(g) + O2(g) ¡÷ 2CO2(g) 2P(s) + 3Cl2(g) ¡÷ 2PCl3(l) 2HgO(s) ¡÷ 2Hg(l) + O2(g) |

Chemists also write equations
to represent physical processes. Freezing (liquid to solid)
and evaporating (liquid to vapor) water, for example, can be represented
as follows:
H2O(l) ¡÷ H2O(s) H2O(l) ¡÷ H2O(g) |

To describe the process of
sodium chloride and hydrogen chloride gas dissolving in water, we write:
H2O NaCl(s) ¡÷ NaCl(aq) H2O HCl(g) ¡÷ HCl(aq) where aq denotesthe aqueous (that is, water) environments. Writing H2O above the arrowindicates the physical process of dissolving a substance in water, although it is sometimes left out for simplicity. |

A chemical equatoin is not a complete description of what actually happens during a chemical reaction. It generally describes only the overall change, that is, the number of atoms, molecules, or ions before and after a reaction; it says nothing about how products are formed from reactants. Furthermore, a chemical equation does not tell us how long it will take for the change to occur. | Cidee hoarhagseg peng-mxsi teq oanzexng biosiar ti harhak-hoafn'exng-tiong sidzex-siong hoatsefng symmih'su.

The following equation: 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ¡÷ 2Fe2O3(s) shows the oxidation of iron in moist air or it is burned in oxygen gas. Normally, the rusting of an iron nail would take weeks or months. On the other hand, iron oxide (Fe2O3) can be formed within seconds when iron is burned in oxygen. Yet both of these processes are represented by the same equation. | Exbin ee

Summary
Chemical change, called chemical reaction, are represented by chemical equation. Substances that undergo change --- the reactants --- are written on the left and substances formed --- the products --- appear on the right of the arrow. The equation shows only the change in substances during the reaction.. |
