 Recipes for Chemistry
Recipes provide chefs with types and amounts of ingredients needed to
create delicious foods. Balanced chemical equations allow chemists to
recreate chemical reactions. A brownie recipe describes how to write
and balance chemical equations.
One batch of brownies requires 1 brownie mix, 2 eggs, and 1 cup of
milk. Writing a chemical reaction requires understanding reactants and products of chemical
reactions. Reactants are substances that react together to form new substances or products.
Reactants and products are separated by an arrow (yields) in chemical equations.
Reactants → Products
To write a balanced chemical equation for one batch of brownies, determine the
reactants and products. Write the equation with coefficients (the number of each
type of substance) in the equation.
Brownie mix + 2 eggs + Cup of milk → Batch of Brownies
Remember, coefficients of one are omitted from balanced chemical equations.
Complete the table below with the appropriate coefficients for each reactant in the
chemical equation.

Reactants Products
Brownie Batches of
Trial Eggs Cups of Milk
Mixes Brownies
1 3
2 5
3 8

Write a balanced chemical equation for Trial 3.

Balanced chemical equation in chemistry use elements from the Periodic Table in chemical formulas
representing reactants and products. The chemical equation for table salt is:
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
How can a balanced equation be identified? Count the number and type of atoms in the reactants
and products. If the number and types of atoms are equal in the reactants and products, the
chemical equation is balanced. The table salt equation has 2 sodium atoms and 2 chlorine atoms in
the reactants. The product for the reaction contains 2 sodium atoms and 2 chlorine atoms. The
table salt chemical equation is balanced. Look at the following chemical reactions, identify those that
are balanced and explain your answers.

1. H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl balanced or not balanced (circle one.) ___________________________________

2. N2 + 3H2 → NH3 balanced or not balanced (circle one.)_____________________________________
3. PCl3 + Cl2 → PCl5 balanced or not balanced (circle one.)___________________________________
4. H2 + O2 → H2O balanced or not balanced (circle one.) _____________________________________
5. Al + 3S → Al2S3 balanced or not balanced (circle one.)_____________________________________

 The “chewing food” picture could be classified as both a chemical and physical change. By chewing
your food, you are breaking it up into smaller pieces, which is a physical change. But, when we chew
our food, it mixes with enzymes from our saliva and begins to break down the food, which is
classified as a chemical change.

 Recipes for Chemistry - KEY
Recipes provide chefs with types and amounts of ingredients needed to create
delicious foods. Balanced chemical equations allow chemists to recreate chemical
reactions. A brownie recipe describes how to write and balance chemical equations.

One batch of brownies requires 1 brownie mix, 2 eggs, and 1 cup of milk. Writing a
chemical reaction requires understanding reactants and products of chemical
reactions. Reactants are substances that react together to form new substances or products. Reactants and
products are separated by an arrow (yields) in chemical equations.

Reactants → Products

To write a balanced chemical equation for one batch of brownies, determine the reactants and
products. Write the equation with coefficients (the number of each type of substance) in the
equation.

Brownie mix + 2 eggs + Cup of milk → Batch of Brownies

Remember, coefficients of one are omitted from balanced chemical equations. Complete the table
below with the appropriate coefficients for each reactant in the chemical equation.

Reactants Products
Brownie Batches of
Trial Eggs Cups of Milk
Mixes Brownies
1 3 6 3 3

2 5 10 5 5

3 8 16 8 8

Write a balanced chemical equation for Trial 3.

Balanced chemical equation in chemistry use elements from the Periodic Table in chemical formulas
representing reactants and products. The chemical equation for table salt is:
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
How can a balanced equation be identified? Count the number and type of atoms in the reactants and
products. If the number and types of atoms are equal in the reactants and products, the chemical equation
is balanced. The table salt equation has 2 sodium atoms and 2 chlorine atoms in the reactants. The product
for the reaction contains 2 sodium atoms and 2 chlorine atoms. The table salt chemical equation is balanced.
Look at the following chemical reactions, identify those that are balanced and explain your answers.

1. H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl balanced or not balanced (circle one.) ____________________________________________

2. N2 + 3H2 → NH3 balanced or not balanced (circle one.)____________________________________________
3. PCl3 + Cl2 → PCl5 balanced or not balanced (circle one.)___________________________________________
4. H2 + O2 → H2O balanced or not balanced (circle one.) _____________________________________________
5. Al + 3S → Al2S3 balanced or not balanced (circle one.)_____________________________________________

 The Nuts and Bolts of Chemistry
Elements, Compounds, & Mixtures
Teacher Page
Objective:
In this activity, students will distinguish between and describe three types of matter: elements, com-
pounds and mixtures.

Materials:
helium balloon beaker of salt taco salad (or other “food mixture”) nuts (5
petri dishes (9) washers (33) overhead projector (doc. camera) bolts (37)

Before Class:
Before class starts, set out the beaker of salt, tie the balloon to a chair and set out the taco salad with
chips. In addition, prepare nine Petri dishes with the following in them (for use on the overhead):
Elements: Dish A – 8 washers
Dish B – 8 bolts
Dish C – 8 nuts
Compounds: Dish D – 3 1 nut/1 bolt combinations (screw them together)
Dish E – 3 2 nut/1 bolt combinations
Dish F – 3 1 bolt/2 washers/2 nuts combinations
Mixtures: Dish G – 2 washers, 2 bolts, 1 compound D and 1 compound F
Dish H – 5 washers, 6 nuts and 4 bolts
Dish I – 4 compound D, 3 compound E and 5 compound F

Engage:
At the beginning of the class, ask students to observe the items and ask them why they think you would
have these three items out. Have them put one idea on their response sheet (individually – not as a
group). Let them come up and sample the taco salad.

Explore:
In groups, allow them to discuss why these items are displayed and instruct them to come up with a list
of ideas. Have them organize their ideas into the Venn diagram on their response sheet, comparing and
contrasting the three. Walk about and assist where needed. If necessary, “guide” at least one group to
think in terms of chemistry and the periodic table: helium is an element, salt is a compound and taco
salad is a mixture.

Explain:
Work together, as a class, to come up with definitions for element, compound and mixture. Record
these on the overhead or board and have students copy them on their response sheet.

Elaborate:
Show the petri dishes (with the hardware that you set up beforehand) on the overhead and have stu-
dents decide whether they represent elements, compounds or mixtures. On their response sheets,
they will write their answer for each dish and briefly tell why.

Evaluate:
On the response sheets, students will list everyday items and tell what type of matter the item is and
why. They should choose 1 element, 1 compound and 1 mixture. These should be evaluated on how well
they fit the definitions and on how well the student supported his/her choice.
