Year 9 Science Chemical Reactions — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00some things I want to go through with
- 0:01you today generally today's lesson is
- 0:03going to be teaching you guys some
- 0:05general formulas that we use in
- 0:07chemistry these are formulas that will
- 0:10help us predict what will happen in a
- 0:12chemical reaction between two chemicals
- 0:14but the real focus today is going to be
- 0:17looking at some metals okay because this
- 0:19chapter is all about metals and then how
- 0:22they affect chemical reactions okay so
- 0:27far in Year seven and eight you guys
- 0:29will have spent most of your time doing
- 0:31what are called word equations and while
- 0:34word equations are okay they actually
- 0:36have limitations and so now we're in
- 0:39your nine we're gonna start moving that
- 0:41on to what are called symbol equations
- 0:43okay and so symbol equations just when
- 0:46we use the element symbols to basically
- 0:48help explain what's going on a bit
- 0:49better so in this example you can see
- 0:51here this sodium plus chlorine goes to
- 0:54sodium chloride these are the symbols
- 0:56that we get from the periodic table okay
- 1:00so some things that you need to know
- 1:01basically now you're in your nine there
- 1:04are three common chemicals that we use a
- 1:06lot in the lab and you guys need to know
- 1:08the name the formula and then what
- 1:11happens with them when we react them
- 1:13with another chemical
- 1:14so this chemical here which is called
- 1:16hydrochloric acid and you'll have to
- 1:19bear with my terrible handwriting so
- 1:22hydrochloric acid and you guys can fill
- 1:25this in as we go along does anyone know
- 1:27what the formula for hydrochloric acid
- 1:29is
- 1:35thank you yes it is HCl embrose so HCl
- 1:40so what does this formula tell me what
- 1:42elements are in hydrochloric acid I
- 1:51whatever
- 1:52yeah so there's some hydrogen certainly
- 1:55which is the symbol H yeah and the CL
- 1:59what's the CL stand for is it one or two
- 2:01elements one how can I tell but if the
- 2:06letter of behind the main letter is in
- 2:10lowercase then it's yes okay so one of
- 2:13the ways you can tell is if we have an
- 2:16uppercase letter and a lowercase letter
- 2:21no that just is lower lowercase letter
- 2:24then basically what this tells me is it
- 2:26must be one element so C L stands for
- 2:34Orion thank you yes it's chlorine okay
- 2:38which if you are defined on the periodic
- 2:40table it would be CL capital C lowercase
- 2:43L so this is all one element so this is
- 2:46one of the ways that we can build a
- 2:49formula for a chemical hydrochloric acid
- 2:53its name comes from the fact that it
- 2:55only contains hydrogen and chlorine
- 2:58hydro for hydrogen chloric for chlorine
- 3:03the thing is though hydrochloric acid is
- 3:05actually kind of a common name a
- 3:07household name if it was to be given a
- 3:10proper scientific name does anyone know
- 3:13what we would call it
- 3:19I'll take that silences are no really
- 3:22what we should do is we should use
- 3:24hydrogen because that's the first part
- 3:27and instead of saying claw is not called
- 3:30hydrogen chlorine what we do is we
- 3:33change chlorine to chloride and in this
- 3:38case I'd basically means reacted with so
- 3:43if we were to draw this molecule if I
- 3:44was actually draw it in 3d or s or in 2d
- 3:47it would be one hydrogen attached to one
- 3:50chlorine and so if we were to name it it
- 3:52should be called hydrogen from the first
- 3:54part and then chloro from chlorine and
- 3:58then we change it to ID which means
- 4:00bonded with so this is quite an
- 4:08interesting thing because this chloride
- 4:10is going to be the same no matter what
- 4:13chlorine is bonded to so when we use
- 4:17hydrochloric acid in a chemical reaction
- 4:19it will always make a product which
- 4:23means the thing at the end like this
- 4:25which is named chloride so that might
- 4:32sound a bit confusing but let's take
- 4:33this example above sodium plus chlorine
- 4:35makes sodium chloride or if I took
- 4:41hydrochloric acid
- 4:46and I reacted it with some sort of metal
- 4:50like magnesium it would make two things
- 4:56does anyone know what those two things
- 4:58are yes thank you Derrick it would make
- 5:03something called
- 5:04magnesium but the chlorine from the
- 5:07hydrochloric acid would form this
- 5:09chemical code chloride and so what's
- 5:12left over
- 5:15hey yeah exactly
- 5:20hydrogen and so very simply we can start
- 5:24to put together word equations purely
- 5:28because we know what elements are found
- 5:31in the acids so let's do another example
- 5:35here is the next most common acid that
- 5:38you'll find in a science lab which is
- 5:39cool sulfuric acid sulfuric acid does
- 5:48anyone know what the formula for
- 5:50sulfuric acid is it's getting more
- 5:55difficult now
- 6:00if you're not sure the formula and you
- 6:02guys need to learn this is h2so4 so just
- 6:12like before can anyone tell me how many
- 6:14elements are there in sulfuric acid or
- 6:20which elements I should say once once
- 6:25there's a sulfur yeah okay what's this
- 6:28one that we did before so we have just
- 6:33like before we have hydrogen we also
- 6:38have two other elements which are sulfur
- 6:47and we have some oxygen
- 6:55symbol for sofa is s okay so these are
- 7:00the three elements that make up sulfuric
- 7:01acid to make things easier for you guys
- 7:05though is instead of treating sulfur and
- 7:08oxygen as separate elements what we've
- 7:12done in chemistry is we've actually
- 7:14combined them to make what's called
- 7:18sulfate so so4 is called sulfate so
- 7:28anyone know what the proper chemical
- 7:30name for sulfuric acid is like
- 7:32hydrochloric acid is hydrogen chloride
- 7:34what word sulfuric acid be called it's
- 7:46not we take the name guys from this
- 7:49sulfate ion here so it actually becomes
- 7:52technically called hydrogen because
- 7:57that's the first part and then the
- 7:59second part we combine this whole name
- 8:03so we should really call it hydrogen
- 8:06sulfate we don't because it's much nicer
- 8:09to say sulfuric acid but the technical
- 8:11name for it of the elements is called
- 8:13hydrogen sulfate now just like with our
- 8:18hydrogen chloride when we react hydrogen
- 8:22chloride with something it makes
- 8:25chlorides at the end so whatever we
- 8:28react it with will be something chloride
- 8:30and with hydrogen sulfate you can do
- 8:33exactly the same thing when you react
- 8:37hydrogen sulfate or sulfuric acid with
- 8:39us something else it will make a sulfate
- 8:45takes its name from it exactly like
- 8:47before so let's take our earlier example
- 8:51where we took sulfuric acid
- 8:58and reacted it with some magnesium can
- 9:04anyone figure out what we're gonna make
- 9:12no it's gone quiet today it's very quiet
- 9:15so I'm doing a terrible job being a
- 9:17teacher thank you we're gonna make
- 9:22magnesium sulfate excellent plus what
- 9:26what's left what haven't we used yes
- 9:30some hydrogen nice so what that's closed
- 9:37one night let's go back what I would
- 9:38like you guys to do is see if you can do
- 9:40the same thing for nitric acid all of
- 9:44the steps I've just done above so
- 9:45sulfuric acid the proper name for it and
- 9:48then what it's formula is now to help
- 9:50you I will give you the formula so the
- 9:53formula for nitric acid is hno3 and just
- 10:01like before we don't have a separate
- 10:05part here we combined it does anyone
- 10:09know what we call this combined thing
- 10:10here this box I can't do anything crazy
- 10:13yeah here's you Scott um sound in the
- 10:16background can they mute peaceful nice
- 10:22if you if you want to talk just unmute
- 10:23talk and then mute again it's easier do
- 10:26you guys know what we call this no.3
- 10:27anyone know begins with an N it's called
- 10:37a nitrate just like this is called a
- 10:42sulfate this is called a nitrate so the
- 10:45proper name for this chemical guys is
- 10:47going to be nitric acid that's the
- 10:51common name oh that's the wrong color
- 10:55I'm doing everything wrong at the moment
- 10:57let's go back use the right colors to
- 11:01make it so the same so this is called
- 11:06nitric acid its chemical name is
- 11:15hydrogen nitrate that's what it should
- 11:21be called and it's ending of the word
- 11:25which we get from its chemical name is
- 11:27going to be nitrate so just like before
- 11:34if we were to take nitric acid and add
- 11:41some magnesium to it what would we make
- 11:49in this case we take our magnesium
- 11:56but we use the end of the word so it
- 11:58makes magnesium nitrate plus just like
- 12:02before you would make hydrogen the one
- 12:08thing that I didn't do is I didn't label
- 12:09these and let me just do that for you
- 12:11quickly
- 12:14hydrogen if you don't know what these
- 12:18are called
- 12:18the middle one here is nitrogen and
- 12:23finally we have
- 12:27oxygen in there as well anyone tell me
- 12:31what the three acids I've mentioned have
- 12:32in common
- 12:40they're all the city they are all acidic
- 12:42that's true but looking at their
- 12:44chemical formulas guys HDL h2so4 and
- 12:48hno3 what are they all yes thank you
- 12:52Ambrose so something that we learn when
- 12:54we start to get to GCSE is that
- 12:56something that makes something can acid
- 12:59in the first place is all acids must
- 13:02contain hydrogen
- 13:09must
- 13:16and the other thing we learn is you know
- 13:19we measure acids using something called
- 13:21a pH scale don't we she learned in year
- 13:27seven and eight the pH what do you think
- 13:30it stands for why do you think we write
- 13:36the H as a capital H it stands for
- 13:44hydrogen yes okay in fact pH stands for
- 13:48potential hydrogen basically so strong
- 13:53strong acids have more hydrogen in them
- 13:55than weak acids deep that's where the pH
- 13:59scale gets his name from we don't teach
- 14:01you that in year seven and eight but
- 14:03it's actually that's a GCSE fact okay so
- 14:06you're probably thinking well that's
- 14:08great mr. Williams you've made a very
- 14:09nice colorful page there but we need to
- 14:11know why so why is this quite important
- 14:14well these word equations that we're
- 14:16writing at the end this section over
- 14:18here this is important because what it's
- 14:21showing me is that we have patterns it
- 14:24doesn't really matter which acid I use
- 14:27as long as I know the ending I can work
- 14:29out that we're gonna make the same
- 14:31things look acid plus metal magnesium
- 14:34gives me a chemical plus hydrogen acid
- 14:37plus metal gives me a chemical plus
- 14:40hydrogen acid plus metal gives me a
- 14:42chemical plus hydrogen so I'm starting
- 14:45to see some patterns and anytime we have
- 14:48patterns in science it allows us to
- 14:50write what's called a general formula so
- 14:54what I want to do is go through some
- 14:56general formula with you guys today once
- 14:59that you will need to learn and if you
- 15:01can just learn them off by heart so that
- 15:03you can just say metal plus oxygen gives
- 15:06me this it's gonna make your life a lot
- 15:08easier when you come to your exam so
- 15:12there are only four general formula that
- 15:15you need to know and then there's a
- 15:17bonus one that you might need to know
- 15:18okay when we talk about chemicals and
- 15:21especially metals the most basic one is
- 15:25going to be if we take a metal and we
- 15:28add oxygen
- 15:29and you guys looked at this for me two
- 15:32lessons ago do you remember I asked you
- 15:34to find five pictures of metals and
- 15:41oxygen that was the first task so here's
- 15:45the first picture and what we need to do
- 15:47is we need to start looking at a general
- 15:49formula so here it is your first formula
- 15:51you need to know is metal plus oxygen
- 15:57can anyone tell me what would happen if
- 16:00I reacted a metal with an oxygen
- 16:03molecule it was it would rust yes deric
- 16:06but what would the product B this is the
- 16:08reactants the things that are being
- 16:12mixed together and the products are what
- 16:17is made so what would the products be of
- 16:19metal plus oxygen close and you're very
- 16:28close so yeah yeah the first word is
- 16:31metal just not oxygen eat oxide oxide
- 16:36Thank You max yes okay so this would be
- 16:38called a metal oxide notice this IDE
- 16:42which means bonded with or reacted
- 16:46together basically so we take the word
- 16:48oxygen we get rid of again and we add
- 16:51IDE IDE which means bonded together so
- 16:55let me give you an example let's take an
- 16:58example color so example name a metal
- 17:03sodium sodium plus oxygen will give me
- 17:11what I need to find a name yes the name
- 17:17of the metal which is sodium and then I
- 17:20add oxide because that's the suffix that
- 17:23you get from oxygen or let's do another
- 17:27one
- 17:27someone Derek give me a name of a metal
- 17:32aluminium aluminium nice okay
- 17:36so aluminium plus oxygen goes to
- 17:44aluminium oxide so do you see guys how
- 17:50just by knowing metal plus oxygen gives
- 17:53me metal oxide I can use it for any
- 17:56metal out there I could say silver plus
- 17:58oxygen gives me silver oxide or
- 18:01strontium plus oxygen gives me strontium
- 18:04oxide I can pick anything I could say
- 18:06plutonium plus oxygen gives me plutonium
- 18:09oxide all of these chemicals will give
- 18:12me exactly the same thing as long as I
- 18:14know my general formula so here is the
- 18:18general formula for metal plus oxygen
- 18:22and you guys should know this off by
- 18:24heart okay the next one that you need to
- 18:27know is going to be sorry I should ask
- 18:30does anyone have any questions about
- 18:31this no I'll take that as a no it's
- 18:37pretty simple isn't it's not too
- 18:39complicated okay so the next one you
- 18:43need to know is going to be metals plus
- 18:45water and hopefully those people who
- 18:48were here for last lesson you looked at
- 18:50this I showed you a Brainiac video which
- 18:54had I have no idea how super brainiacs
- 18:58like that which was sodium plus water
- 19:03wasn't it
- 19:04and what happened
- 19:08it exploded bang so let's have a look at
- 19:13our general formula for the metal what's
- 19:16water now it really depends this expect
- 19:21this equation the general formula should
- 19:24be metal plus water goes to now this
- 19:32one's a bit trickier we have a new type
- 19:34of chemical that you maybe haven't seen
- 19:36before which is called a hydroxide let
- 19:42me redo that ëcoz that's terrible a
- 19:45hydroxide now for those of you who don't
- 19:48know a hydroxide is simply an OHA an
- 19:53oxygen bonded to a hydrogen basically
- 19:56and we make one other thing which is
- 20:00going to be hydrogen and I'll explain
- 20:05why this is in a second
- 20:07so for most of you you should by now
- 20:10know that water is made of two
- 20:14hydrogen's and one oxygen we write the
- 20:17formula h2o which means that if you were
- 20:20to Jory what it would look like would be
- 20:22one oxygen attached to one hydrogen
- 20:25attached to another hydrogen when we mix
- 20:31this with water sorry when we mix this
- 20:34with a metal the metal is able to come
- 20:37in and basically break apart part of
- 20:42this water molecule it can actually
- 20:44break a piece of it away and so what it
- 20:47does let's use sodium as an example
- 20:50sodium comes along and it goes I want
- 20:52this but I don't really want this bit
- 20:54this fits boring so it breaks this piece
- 20:57off and it throws it away
- 20:58and it takes the O H molecule for itself
- 21:01and it makes this new type of chemical
- 21:03which is called a hydroxide so let's
- 21:07take an example
- 21:10so do excuse me that's not one trying to
- 21:14D sodium doesn't begin with an L sodium
- 21:20plus water will make sodium hydroxide
- 21:30plus this little piece that nobody
- 21:33wanted which is a hydrogen so it makes
- 21:36some hydrogen over here and that's
- 21:41basically our simple chemical reaction
- 21:44for metal plus water we can take any
- 21:49metal and we should make the same things
- 21:52so in this example if I took some
- 21:55calcium and I added water what do you
- 22:03guys think I would make
- 22:10what would be the products
- 22:17in this case you just take the name of
- 22:19the metal which is calcium and you take
- 22:23the hydroxide which is always made now
- 22:31what's left we have some hydrogen left
- 22:34okay are you guys okay with this
- 22:38metals plus water yes thank you
- 22:43this is called our general formula here
- 22:46metal plus water is going to give you a
- 22:49metal hydroxide plus hydrogen and like I
- 22:52said again you just really have to learn
- 22:54these names if you don't know what this
- 22:56is this hydroxide just learn that metal
- 22:59plus water gives you metal hydroxide
- 23:00plus hydrogen okay the most interesting
- 23:05one acid and I'm gonna need more space
- 23:08let's move this down so metals plus acid
- 23:14I sort of explained to you guys at the
- 23:15very top so I've worked been too long
- 23:17going through what we did up here all of
- 23:19this stuff this is basically the
- 23:21explanation for why metals plus acids
- 23:23give us what they do it really depends
- 23:26on the acid that you use so if you
- 23:29choose to use hydrochloric acid or HCl
- 23:38this will give us the outcome so what we
- 23:43could say is metal no sorry let me use
- 23:46blue so it's the same color as above I'm
- 23:48gonna get rid of that let's try that
- 23:50again if I say metal plus acid gives us
- 24:00the ending of the acid so it will give
- 24:05us a metal with the ending of the acid
- 24:14plus hydrogen so like before let me just
- 24:20break that down so HCl plus no I want
- 24:24mister Williams you're not doing very
- 24:25well today
- 24:26let's take any metal let's say magnesium
- 24:31plus HCl will give me magnesium plus the
- 24:36ending which is chloride CL plus
- 24:40hydrogen or we can do that in your word
- 24:44equation so magnesium except I can't
- 24:49write the word magnesium apparently plus
- 24:53hydrochloric acid well go to you
- 25:01magnesium chloride plus
- 25:08hydrogen this is if we use hydrochloric
- 25:14acid
- 25:15just like before though I could use
- 25:16another metal I can use any metal so
- 25:18let's take sodium for example let's use
- 25:22sodium plus let's use nitric acid will
- 25:32give me
- 25:35sodium and I need to use the end of this
- 25:37type of acid which is nitrate we learned
- 25:40that earlier plus hydrogen well here's
- 25:46the tricky part does anyone know what we
- 25:48call these these are a group of
- 25:50chemicals these this this here and this
- 25:53does anyone know what we call these in
- 25:56chemistry normally it's a metal and
- 26:01nonmetal combined together anyone know
- 26:06what the name of this is take that as a
- 26:15no these are often called assault
- 26:21assault I'm an assault although you guys
- 26:25are probably familiar with table salt
- 26:27which is a common salt actually salts
- 26:31are a group
- 26:32Yesi so right does anyone know what the
- 26:34formula of C so is anyone know what's in
- 26:42it C HCl it's not HCl but there is CL in
- 26:49it
- 26:52technically guys this is called sodium
- 26:56chloride so sea salt the salt be put on
- 27:02your food and we eat is called sodium
- 27:04chloride but this is just one of
- 27:05thousands of different salts so sodium
- 27:08nitrate is a salt and magnesium chloride
- 27:11is also a type of salt you don't want to
- 27:14eat these ones because they would poison
- 27:15you sodium chloride is actually really
- 27:17important for us to stay alive but the
- 27:19other ones could be really dangerous to
- 27:20us how could I make some sodium chloride
- 27:24I wanted to make them at home without
- 27:26buying it in their supermarket
- 27:36for those people who are wondering what
- 27:38I could do is I could take some sodium
- 27:41and I could add some hydrochloric acid
- 27:49what I would make would be sodium
- 27:54chloride delicious
- 27:56plus some hydrogen gas and then if I was
- 28:01to take this and put it on my food it
- 28:02would make it taste delicious that would
- 28:06be one of the ways that we could use
- 28:07this general formula so the reason I
- 28:10mentioned these are called salts is
- 28:11because this actually helps us to write
- 28:13our general formula our real general
- 28:16formula should be metal plus acid goes
- 28:22to a new type of chemical which is
- 28:25called salt plus hydrogen
- 28:39yeah this is our general formula for
- 28:42metal plus acid guys if you're thinking
- 28:48that oh my god mr. Williams is going
- 28:49really fast I don't understand that's
- 28:51fine there are some questions I have got
- 28:53you guys to have a go at the bottom
- 28:55which will help you kind of practice and
- 28:56really the only way to get this is to
- 28:59practice okay so that's our last general
- 29:06formula for metal plus acid there is one
- 29:08last one too low general formula the
- 29:15very last one is if we take an acid and
- 29:18we add it to what's called an alkali
- 29:21now you guys hopefully should remember
- 29:23that acids and alkalis are like
- 29:25opposites acids are pH 1 to 6 and
- 29:29alkalis are pH 8 to 14 and they are kind
- 29:33of opposites each other on the pH scale
- 29:36these ones have hydrogen because we
- 29:41learnt this today and these ones have Oh
- 29:44H or hydroxide this is what makes
- 29:50something an alkaline so let's take a
- 29:54very common alkali that we find in our
- 29:57science lab which is called sodium
- 29:59hydroxide sodium hydroxide if you're not
- 30:02sure is na o H this is what makes it a
- 30:08hydroxide an alkaline because it has a H
- 30:12now we need a general formula for this
- 30:15so let's take some examples and this is
- 30:17the one that's going to be the most
- 30:18complicated let's take an acid a common
- 30:23acid as we've named before is
- 30:26hydrochloric acid just to help you I'm
- 30:31gonna write the symbol for it underneath
- 30:33and to that I'm gonna add my new
- 30:37chemical this alkaline that I've seen
- 30:39before which is called sodium
- 30:45hydroxide the symbol for it as I wrote
- 30:48is na o H and we have to work out
- 30:53exactly what's going to be made now the
- 30:58easiest way to do this guys is to
- 31:00realize that when an acid reacts with an
- 31:05alkaline the metal whatever the metal
- 31:09element in the alkaline is is going to
- 31:11be basically the main product that is
- 31:14formed so sodium in this example is the
- 31:18important metal that we need to keep an
- 31:20eye on sodium will actually react with
- 31:24the nonmetal that's in the acid so in
- 31:29this case in our acid the chlorine the
- 31:32CL is the nonmetal and in this example
- 31:36the sodium which is a metal will react
- 31:38together and we will make it chemical
- 31:42which is called sodium chloride or table
- 31:47salt as we mentioned earlier
- 31:55thing is though I haven't used up
- 31:57everything that's left in this one I've
- 32:00got a little bit of hydrogen and in this
- 32:04one I've got
- 32:05well basically not this part I've got
- 32:08this left
- 32:08I've got o and H so if I take the H from
- 32:14here and the O H from over here and I
- 32:17mix them together what I will make is
- 32:20two hydrogen's and one oxygen or also
- 32:23known as water now this is one example
- 32:29of an acid plus an alkali and I can see
- 32:31by far that is the most complicated
- 32:33thing that you have to work in let me
- 32:36show you a couple more examples and then
- 32:37I'll write your general formula because
- 32:39if you learn your general formula it's
- 32:41really simple let's do one more let's
- 32:46pick a different acid as you know I'm
- 32:50gonna write a general formula first so
- 32:52the general formula is going to be acid
- 32:59plus alkali
- 33:03goes to you sodium fluoride which is a
- 33:06salt plus water this is going to be your
- 33:15general formula for the acid plus alkali
- 33:17and you just need to learn this this is
- 33:20the important part let me show you a
- 33:24couple more examples and then you guys
- 33:25can have a go yourself and if you don't
- 33:27understand it's your opportunity to ask
- 33:28me questions so let's pick another one
- 33:33let's pick sulfuric acid sulfuric acid
- 33:38plus let's use let's use to use sodium
- 33:43hydroxide again
- 33:49so just like before I take the beginning
- 33:54part of my alkali this is the important
- 33:56part the metal which is this so I take
- 33:59sodium and I write it over here I then
- 34:02can go back and look right at the very
- 34:05beginning if I just zoom out when I
- 34:06showed you what the ending part of the
- 34:09word for sulfuric acid was which was all
- 34:11the way up here here if I've used
- 34:16sulfuric acid the word that will be
- 34:20ending with will be sulfate yeah this is
- 34:22the part that we use so if I go down
- 34:25here I can just write sulfate comes from
- 34:33the sulfuric acid now looking at my
- 34:37general formula I've now worked out what
- 34:39my salt is all I need to do is add
- 34:41what's left which in this case is always
- 34:43going to make water yeah so this is my
- 34:49far the most complicated one guys and
- 34:51we'll do some more practice on acids
- 34:53plus alkalis what I want you guys to do
- 34:55today because it's a bit simpler is to
- 34:57practice your metals plus acids so what
- 34:59I'd like you to do is have a go at this
- 35:01bit down here chemical reactions of
- 35:03acids plus metals ok have a go see if
- 35:06you can work out the answers and if you
- 35:08don't understand I'll be here you can
- 35:10ask me questions ok
