    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)
    • 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)
    • 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.

    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.
