Phenomenon: There are many different kinds of pollutants that come from different places and different chemicals. There are different types of chemical reactions that create different products.

Part 1: Equation Sort Patterns Challenge

How can patterns in chemical equations help us organize them into categories?
Question 1
1.

Question 2
2.

Report:
Click on the figure to expand it. In your journal, create a table like in the figure. For each of your categories that you made above, give it a name (example: reactions that are adding two things together could be called "combination"), a simple description, and two example equations that fall under that category.

Part 2: Chemical Equations Challenge
Question 3
3.

Question 4
4.

Report:
Click on the figure to expand it. Create another table like in the figure, including the named categories and then complete the table with the equations in Set #2. What do you think each category means? Next you will check your work!

Question 5
5.

Watch the video on Types of Chemical Reactions.

Reflect: What are the 5 types of chemical reactions, were you right? Go back to your categories in #3 and #4 and see how you did! Put a star next to the categories you got right! Also, this video showed one additional type: Acid-Base Reactions (we might get to the later!).

Challenge: Sort the β€œequations” in Set #1 into up to five (5) different categories.

Rules:
  • There must be at LEAST 3 equations in each group
  • Equal sign location matters. 1 + 2 = 3 cannot be in the same group as 3 = 1 + 2
1 + 2 = 3
22 + 55 = 25 + 52
6 = 4 + 2
A + B = C
C = A + B
AB + CD = AD + BC
AB + C = AC + B
🌲πŸ”₯+ 🌬= 🌲🌬 + πŸ”₯🌬
πŸ‘—πŸ™ + πŸ‘  = πŸ‘—πŸ‘  + πŸ™
πŸ˜€ + πŸ’› = 😍
β›„πŸŽΏ + πŸ‚πŸ” = β›„πŸ” + πŸ‚πŸŽΏ
21 + 5 = 25 + 1
β˜” =🌻 + πŸ’
CH + O = CO + HO
10 + 1 = 11 + 01

Challenge:
Sort the chemical equations in Set #2 into up to five (5) different categories.
Rules:
  • There must be at LEAST 3 equations in each group
  • Arrow location matters. 1 + 2 β†’ 3 cannot be in the same group as 3 β†’ 1 + 2
Ag2S + Al β†’ Al2S3 + Ag
SO2 + O2 β†’ SO3
CO + O2 β†’ CO2
H2CO3 β†’ CO2 + H2O
CaCO3 + H2SO4 β†’ H2CO3 + CaSO4
ZnS + 3O2 β†’ ZnO + 2SO2
NO2 + H2O + O2 β†’ HNO3
Cu + H2SO4 β†’ CuSO4 + H2
H2O2 β†’ H2O + O2
Na3PO4 + Al2(SO4)3β†’ Na2SO4 + AlPO4
Ca + 2H2O β†’ Ca(OH)2 + H2
