    This document provides an overview of chemical reactions and how to write word equations to represent them. It defines key concepts like reactants, products, combustion reactions, and word equations. Specific examples are given to illustrate combustion reactions of magnesium and carbon. Word equations use words to show the reactants on the left and products formed on the right, with an arrow in between to indicate they react to form the products. The goal is to help students understand what a chemical reaction is and be able to write word equations to represent common reactions like combustion.

    UNIT 3
    Chemical Reactions
    Lesson1 What is a chemical reaction?

    Objectives:
    ■ Know what chemical reactions are
    ■ Know how to recognize chemical reactions

    Keywords
    Reactants
    Products
    Burning
    Combustion
    What is a chemical reaction?
     What links the pictures below?
     The pictures show places where chemical reactions happen.
     In fact, chemical reactions happen everywhere, all the time, even inside you!
     Scientists study chemical reactions in laboratories, too.
     They use them to develop medicines, fuels, and materials.
    All chemical reactions:
    ● create new substances – the substances you end up with are different from the ones you
    started with.
    ● are not reversible – at the end of the reaction, you cannot easily get back the substances you
    started with.
    The signs of a chemical reaction
     You do an experiment in the lab.
     How do you know if it was a chemical reaction?
     There are many clues to look out for. You might: By the end of the reaction, what you see
    probably looks very different to what you started with.
    ● see huge flames ... Or tiny sparks
    ● notice a sweet smell ...or a foul stink
    ● feel the chemicals getting hotter ... Or colder
    ● hear a loud bang ... Or gentle fizzing
     By the end of the reaction, what you see probably looks very different to what you started with
    Combustion reactions
     Magnesium
     Farah heats a piece of magnesium metal in a Bunsen burner flame.
     She looks away quickly and shields her eyes.
     Suddenly, there is a bright white flame.The flame soon goes out. White ash remains.
     Farah explains her observations. She saw a chemical reaction. In the reaction, magnesium
    reacted with oxygen from the air.
     The white ash is magnesium oxide. It was made in the chemical reaction.
     The substances that react in a chemical reaction are reactants.
     The substances that are made are products.
     The reaction of magnesium with oxygen is an example of a burning, or combustion, reaction.
     Any reaction in which a substance reacts quickly with oxygen, and gives out heat and light, is a
    combustion reaction.
     Halim does a similar experiment. He finds the mass of a piece of magnesium, and heats it in a
    crucible.
     He lifts the lid three times during the reaction so that air can get in.
     Halim works out the mass of the product. It is greater than the mass of the magnesium he
    started with.
     This is evidence that magnesium has joined with another substance – oxygen, from the air.
    Carbon
     Chan heats a piece of carbon in the air. It glows red.
     Its mass decreases.Chan explains her results.
     A combustion reaction has happened. Carbon has reacted with oxygen from the air to make
    carbon dioxide.
     The reactants are carbon and oxygen.
     The product is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a colourless gas that escapes into the
    atmosphere as it is produced.
    summary

    ● Chemical reactions create new substances.


    ● Chemical reactions are not reversible
    Lesson2 Writing word equations
    Objective
    ■ Write word equations to represent chemical reactions

    Keywords

    word equations
    Neutralisation
    Salt
    Word equations
     You can use word equations to show reactions simply.
     This word equation shows the combustion reaction of magnesium:
    magnesium + oxygen magnesium oxide
    A word equation shows:
    ● reactants (starting materials) on the left
    ● products (what is made in the reaction) on the right.
     The arrow means react to make. In a chemical equation, the reactants and products are different
    from each other.
     So the arrow in a chemical equation has a different meaning to the equals sign (=) in a maths
    equation.
     The word equation below shows the combustion reaction of carbon in plenty of air to make
    carbon dioxide:
    carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide
