Study Notes
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Step 1: Identify the number of atoms for each element on both the reactant and product side.
- Step 2: Balance atoms by adjusting the coefficients in front of each chemical formula.
- Step 3: Repeat step 1 to ensure the equation is balanced.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination Reaction: Two or more reactants combine to form a single product
- Example: C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)
- Decomposition Reaction: A single reactant breaks down into two or more products.
- Thermal Decomposition: Decomposition due to heat
- Example: 2Pb(NO3)2 (s) → 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
- Electrolytic Decomposition (Electrolysis): Decomposition using electricity
- Example: 2H2O(l) → 2H2(g) + O2(g)
- Photo Decomposition (Photosynthesis): Decomposition using light
- Example: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) → C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)
- Thermal Decomposition: Decomposition due to heat
- Displacement Reactions: An element in a compound is replaced by another element.
- Single Displacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
- Example: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
- Double Displacement: Two elements in two different compounds exchange places.
- Example: AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
- Single Displacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
- Oxidation: A substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen.
- Reduction: A substance loses oxygen or gains hydrogen.
- Redox Reaction: A reaction where both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.
- ** Reducing Agent**: The substance that is oxidized, causing another substance to be reduced.
- Oxidizing Agent: The substance that is reduced, causing another substance to be oxidized.
Important Reactions & Phenomena
- Corrosion: The process of a metal reacting with its surroundings (moisture, air, etc.) leading to damage.
- Examples: Rusting of iron, blackening of silver, green coating on copper.
- Rancidity: The oxidation of fats and oils in food, causing a change in taste and smell.
- Methods to prevent rancidity:
- Packing food in nitrogen gas to displace oxygen.
- Storing food in airtight containers.
- Refrigerating food.
- Methods to prevent rancidity:
Practical Applications
- Thermite Reaction: A reaction between aluminum and iron(III) oxide, used for welding heavy objects like railway tracks.
- White Washing: The process using calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) to coat walls. It reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form calcium carbonate, producing a white finish.
- Black and White Photography: Uses silver halides like silver chloride or silver bromide, which decompose in light to form silver, producing black and white images.
