Why should the chemical equation be balanced?

<p>To obey the law of conservation of mass. In a balanced equation, the total number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must equal the total number of atoms of that element on the product side.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How do the local people in Ethiopia prepare alcoholic beverages like "Tella"? What raw materials are used? Is the process a chemical change?

<p>Tella is prepared by fermenting a mixture of barley, teff, or sorghum. The yeast in the fermentation process converts sugars to alcohol, making it a chemical change.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Unit 3: Elements, Compounds, and Chemical Reactions

  • Learning Outcomes:
    • Compare elements and compounds, and how they are represented.
    • Identify and write symbols of common elements and compounds.
    • Name compounds given their formula and write formula given the name.
    • Use symbols and chemical formulas to communicate information.
    • Apply the law of conservation of mass to balanced equations.
    • Interpret chemical formulas in terms of elements and ratios of atoms.

Main Contents

  • 3.1 Elements and their Representation:

    • Defines an element as a pure substance that cannot be broken down.
    • Identifies some common elements and their symbols.
    • Provides examples of common elements (metal and non-metal).
    • Explains how element symbols are derived from names (capital letter, then smaller).
    • Explains why some element symbols aren't one-letter names
  • 3.2 Compounds and their Representation:

    • Defines compounds as substances formed from chemically combining two or more elements.
    • Explains how valence numbers relate to combining power of atoms.
