How can the coefficients in a chemical equation be interpreted? A balanced chemical equation can tell us the number of reactant and product particles (ions, atoms, molecules or formula units) that are necessary to conserve mass during a chemical reaction. Typically when we balance the chemical equation we think in terms of individual particles. However, in real life the reaction represented by an equation occurs an unimaginable number of times. Short of writing very large numbers (10 or larger) in front of each chemical in the equation, how can we interpret chemical equations so that they more realistically represent what is happening in real life? In this packet you will explore the different ways a chemical reaction can be interpreted. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH³(g) Model 1:

Rusting Nails: Nails are made of the element iron. Iron has the atomic mass 55.8 g/mol. Nails are very important construction materials. However, when nails are exposed to the atmosphere, it undergoes a chemical reaction called rusting. When nails rust, they combine with oxygen gas in the air. Oxygen gas has a molar mass of 32.0 g/mol. The resulting substance is a flaky brown substance called iron(III) oxide, Fe203. The formula mass of iron(III) oxide is 159.7 g/mol. The balance chemical reaction for the rusting of nail is: 4 Fe(s) + 3 02(g) → 2 Fe203(s) 1. If 1.5 mole of iron rusts, how many moles of oxygen gas will react with it? Answer: 2. How many grams of iron(III) oxide are produced when 2 moles of oxygen gas reacted? Answer: 3. How many moles of iron rusted if 450 grams of iron(III) oxide was produced? Answer: 4.
