IV. Introduction of knowledge.

1. Law of conservation of mass of substances.

Problematic question:Will the mass of the reactants change compared to the mass of the reaction products?

Demonstration experiments:

The teacher places two glasses on the scale:

A) one with freshly precipitated Cu(OH) 2 , the other with HCl solution; weighs them, pours the solutions into one glass, places another next to it, and the guys note that the balance of the scales has not been disturbed, although the reaction has passed, as evidenced by the dissolution of the precipitate;

b) The neutralization reaction is carried out similarly - excess acid from another glass is added to the phenolphthalein-colored alkali.

Video experiment:Heating copper.

Description of the experiment:Place 2 grams of crushed copper in a conical flask. Stopper the flask tightly and weigh. Remember the mass of the flask. Gently heat the flask for 5 minutes and observe the changes that occur. Stop heating and when the flask has cooled, weigh it. Compare the mass of the flask before heating with the mass of the flask after heating.

Conclusion: The mass of the flask did not change after heating.

Formulation law of conservation of mass:the mass of substances that reacted is equal to the mass of the formed substances(students write down the wording in their notebooks).

The law of conservation of mass was theoretically discovered in 1748 and experimentally confirmed in 1756 by the Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov.

The French scientist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789 finally convinced the scientific world of the universality of this law. Both Lomonosov and Lavoisier used very precise scales in their experiments. They heated metals (lead, tin, and mercury) in sealed vessels and weighed the starting materials and reaction products.

2. Chemical equations.

Demonstration experiment:Heating a mixture of iron and sulfur.

Description of the experiment:In a mortar, prepare a mixture of 3.5 grams Fe and 2 grams S. Transfer this mixture to a porcelain cup and heat it strongly over a burner flame, observing the changes that occur. Apply a magnet to the resulting substance.

The resulting substance – iron (II) sulfide – is different from the original mixture. Neither iron nor sulfur can be visually detected in it. It is also impossible to separate them using a magnet. A chemical change has occurred.

The starting materials that take part in chemical reactions are called reagents.

New substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction are called products.

Let's write down the ongoing reaction in the form of a diagram:

iron + sulfur → iron(II) sulfide

Chemical equationis a conventional notation of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas.

Let's write the ongoing reaction in the form of a chemical equation:

Fe + S → FeS

Rules for composing chemical equations

VI. Lesson summary. Students formulate conclusions about the lesson.


In lesson 11 "" from the course " Chemistry for dummies» we will find out by whom and when the law of conservation of mass of substances was discovered; Let's get acquainted with chemical equations and learn how to correctly place coefficients in them.

Until now, when considering chemical reactions, we paid attention to their high-quality side, i.e., on how and under what conditions the starting substances are converted into reaction products. But there is another side to chemical phenomena - quantitative.

Does the mass of substances that enter into a chemical reaction change? In search of an answer to this question, the English scientist R. Boyle back in the 17th century. conducted many experiments on calcination of lead in sealed vessels. After completing the experiments, he opened the vessels and weighed the reaction products. As a result, Boyle came to the conclusion that the mass of the substance after the reaction more mass source metal. He explained this by the addition of some “fiery matter” to the metal.

R. Boyle's experiments on calcination of metals were repeated by the Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov in 1748. He calcined iron in a special flask (retort) (Fig. 56), which was hermetically sealed. Unlike Boyle, he left the retort sealed after the reaction. Weighing the retort after the reaction showed that its mass did not change. This indicated that although a chemical reaction had occurred between the metal and the substance contained in the air, the sum of the masses starting materials equal to the mass of the reaction product.


M.V. Lomonosov concluded: “ All changes that occur in nature are the essence of such a state that as much as something is taken away from one body, so much will be added to another, so if a little matter is lost somewhere, it will increase in another place».

In 1789, the French chemist A. Lavoisier proved that the calcination of metals is the process of their interaction with one of components air - oxygen. Based on the works of M.V. Lomonosov and A. Lavoisier, it was formulated law of conservation of mass of substances in chemical reactions.

The mass of substances that entered into a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of substances formed as a result of the reaction.

In chemical reactions, atoms do not disappear without a trace and do not appear out of nothing. Their number remains unchanged. And since they have constant mass , then the mass of the substances formed by them also remains constant.

The law of conservation of mass of substances can be verified experimentally. To do this, use the device shown in Figure 57, a, b. Its main part is a two-legged test tube. Pour lime water into one elbow, and the solution into the second. copper sulfate. Let's balance the device on the scales, and then mix both solutions in one elbow. At the same time, we will see that a blue precipitate of a new substance precipitates. The formation of a precipitate confirms that a chemical reaction has occurred. The mass of the device remains the same. This means that as a result of a chemical reaction, the mass of substances does not change.

The law is important for correct understanding everything that happens in nature: nothing can disappear without a trace and come from nothing.

Chemical reactions can be depicted using chemical formula language. Chemical elements are designated by chemical symbols, the composition of substances is written using chemical formulas, chemical reactions are expressed using chemical equations, i.e., just as words are made from letters, sentences are made from words.

Chemical reaction equation (chemical equation)- this is a conditional recording of a reaction using chemical formulasand the signs “+” and “=”.

The law of conservation of mass of substances in chemical reactions must also be observed when compiling chemical reaction equations. As in mathematical equations, in the equations of chemical reactions there is a left side (where the formulas of the starting substances are written) and a right side (where the formulas of the reaction products are written). For example (Fig. 58):

When writing equations of chemical reactions, the “+” (plus) sign connects the formulas of substances on the left and right parts equations Since the mass of substances before the reaction is equal to the mass of the formed substances, the “=” (equal) sign is used, which connects the left and right sides of the equation. To equalize the number of atoms on the left and right sides of the equation, numbers are used in front of the formulas of substances. These numbers are called coefficients of chemical equations and show the number of molecules or formula units. Since 1 mole of any substance consists of the same number structural units(6.02*10 23), then coefficients also show the chemical quantities of each substance:

When writing chemical equations, they also use special signs, for example, the sign “↓”, indicating that the substance forms a precipitate.

EXPERIENCE:

V closed system The substances that enter into the reaction are weighed: solutions of barium chloride (BaCl 2) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4) - m1, as well as the substances formed as a result of the reaction: barium sulfate (BaSO 4) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) - m2.

Solving the problem

Let's write this reaction in Russian and then in chemical language:

barium chloride + magnesium sulfate barium sulfate + magnesium chloride

  • 1atom Ba 1atom Mg 1atom Ba 1atom Mg
  • 2 atoms Cl 1atom S 1atom S 2 atoms Cl
  • 4 atoms O 4 atoms O

What conclusion can be drawn?

( Atoms and their composition before and after reaction have not changed )


  • The results of weighing substances before and after the reaction confirm law conservation of mass substances. Students face a decision problematic task: why m1=m2? Thanks to the updating of previously acquired knowledge about the structure of substances, students relatively easily come to to the following conclusion: m1= m2, because atoms And their number as a result chemical transformations do not change, but only combine differently to form new substances.

Let's check our conclusion with calculations:

BaCl 2 + MgSO 4 Ba SO 4 + Mg Cl 2

Before the reaction - m1 After the reaction - m2

What did the calculations show?

What have you proven?

(m1= m2 ) Why?

The law of conservation of mass is the basis for the calculation physical processes in all areas human activity. Its validity is not disputed by either physicists, chemists, or representatives of other sciences. This law, like a strict accountant, ensures that the exact mass of a substance is maintained before and after its interaction with other substances. The honor of discovering this law belongs to the Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov.

Initial ideas about the composition of substances

The structure of matter remained a mystery to any person for many centuries. Various hypotheses excited the minds of scientists and encouraged the sages to engage in lengthy and meaningless debates. One argued that everything consists of fire, the other defended a completely different point of view. The theory of the ancient Greek sage Democritus that all substances consist of tiny, invisible to the eye, flashed through the mass of theories and was undeservedly forgotten. tiny particles substances. Democritus called them “atoms,” which means “indivisible.” Unfortunately, for as long as 23 centuries, his assumption was forgotten.

Alchemy

Basically, the scientific data of the Middle Ages were based on prejudices and various conjectures. Alchemy arose and spread widely, which was a body of modest practical knowledge, closely flavored with the most fantastic theories. For example, famous minds of that time tried to turn lead into gold and find the unknown philosopher's stone, healing from all diseases. During the search process, gradually accumulated scientific experience consisting of many unexplained reactions chemical elements. For example, it was found that many substances, later called simple, do not decay. Thus was reborn ancient theory about indivisible particles of matter. It took a great mind to turn this storehouse of information into a coherent and logical theory.

Lomonosov theory

Accurate quantitative method Chemistry research is indebted to the Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov. For his brilliant abilities and hard work, he received the title of professor of chemistry and became a member Russian Academy Sci. Under him, the country's first modern chemical laboratory, in which the famous law of conservation of mass of substances was discovered.

In the process of studying the flow of chemical reactions, Lomonosov weighed the initial chemicals and products that appeared after the reaction. At the same time, he discovered and formulated the law of conservation of mass of matter. In the 17th century, the concept of mass was often confused with the term "weight". Therefore, masses of substances were often called “scales.” Lomonosov determined that the structure of a substance is directly dependent on the particles from which it is built. If it contains particles of the same type, then the scientist called such a substance simple. With a heterogeneous composition of corpuscles, it turns out compound. These theoretical data allowed Lomonosov to formulate the law of conservation of mass.

Definition of law

After numerous experiments, M.V. Lomonosov established a law, the essence of which boiled down to the following: the weight of substances that reacted, equal to weight substances resulting from the reaction.

In Russian science, this postulate is called “Lomonosov’s Law of Conservation of Mass of Substances.”

This law was formulated in 1748, and the most accurate experiments with the reaction of firing metals in sealed vessels were carried out in 1756.

Lavoisier's experiments

European science discovered the law of conservation of mass after the publication of a description of the works of the great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier.

This scientist boldly applied theoretical concepts and physical methods that time, which allowed him to develop chemical nomenclature and create a register of all chemical substances known at that time.

With his experiments, Lavoisier proved that in the process of any chemical reaction the law of conservation of mass of substances entering into a compound is observed. In addition, he expanded the extension of the law of conservation to the mass of each of the elements that took part in the reaction as part of complex substances.

Thus, the question of who discovered the law of conservation of mass of substances can be answered in two ways. M.V. Lomonosov was the first to conduct experiments that clearly demonstrated the conservation law and put it on a theoretical basis. A. Lavoisier in 1789, independently of the Russian scientist, independently discovered the law of conservation of mass and extended its principle to all elements participating in a chemical reaction.

Mass and energy

In 1905, the great A. Einstein showed the connection between the mass of a substance and its energy. It was expressed by the formula:

Einstein's equation confirms the law of conservation of mass and energy. This theory states that all energy has mass and a change in this energy causes a change in the mass of the body. The potential energy of any body is very high, and it can only be released under special conditions.

The law of conservation of mass is valid for any bodies of the micro- and macrocosm. Any chemical reaction takes part in the transformation of the internal energy of a substance. Therefore, when calculating the mass of substances participating in chemical reactions, it would be necessary to take into account the increase or loss of mass caused by the release or absorption of energy in a given reaction. In fact, in the macrocosm this effect is so insignificant that such changes can be ignored.

Algorithm for composing equations of chemical reactions 1. On the left side are written the formulas of the substances that react: KOH + CuCl On the right side (after the arrow) are the formulas of the substances that are obtained as a result of the reaction: KOH + CuCl 2 Cu(OH) 2 + KCl . 3. Then, using coefficients, the number of atoms of identical chemical elements on the right and left sides of the equation is equalized: 2KOH + CuCl 2 = Cu(OH) 2 + 2KCl.


Basic rules for arranging coefficients The arranging of coefficients begins with the element whose atoms participate in the reaction more. The number of oxygen atoms before and after the reaction should be even in most cases. If complex substances are involved in the reaction (exchange), then the arrangement of coefficients begins with metal atoms or acid residues.
