Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- The defining characteristic of an exothermic reaction is the release of heat energy.
Oxidation and Reduction
- Oxidation involves the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen, whereas reduction involves the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
Displacement Reactions
- In a displacement reaction, one element displaces another element from its compound.
Double Displacement Reactions
- The products in a double displacement reaction are characterized by the formation of two new compounds.
Precipitation Reactions
- Precipitation reactions result in the formation of an insoluble solid.
Oxidation vs. Reduction
- The main difference between oxidation and reduction is that oxidation involves the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen, whereas reduction involves the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
