    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions and Equations

    • Chemical reactions involve changes in matter, resulting in new substances.
    • Atoms rearrange and/or exchange to form new molecules.
    • Elements themselves don't change during a chemical reaction, only their arrangement.
    • Reactants are the substances that undergo change, while products are the new substances formed.
    • Chemical equations use formulas of reactants and products, along with state symbols (g for gas, l for liquid, s for solid, aq for aqueous solution), to represent reactions.
    • The number of atoms of each element is conserved in a balanced chemical equation, meaning the same number of atoms of each type exists on both sides of the equation.
    • Coefficients in front of chemical formulas indicate the number of molecules involved in the reaction, balancing the equation.
    • Subscripts in chemical formulas show how many atoms of each element exist within a molecule.
    • Reactants are on the left side of an equation, and products are on the right side.

    Reaction Evidence

    • Changes in color (e.g., fading shirt)
    • Changes in temperature (e.g., combustion)
    • Formation of a solid (e.g., precipitate)
    • Formation of a gas (e.g., bubbles)
    • Emission of light (e.g., glow sticks)
    • Production of odor

    Balanced Equations

    • A balanced chemical equation has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
    • Coefficients are used to balance equations.
    • Coefficients multiply all atoms within a formula.

    Example (Balancing an Equation)

    • Follow these steps when balancing chemical equations:
      • Write the unbalanced equation.
      • Balance elements that appear in only one compound first.
      • Balance elements appearing in multiple compounds, balancing elements that occur as free elements last.
      • Check the equation for balance after changing coefficients.
      • If fractions are present in coefficients, multiply all coefficients to make them whole numbers.

    Chemical Equations

    • Shortened way of representing a chemical reaction.
    • Shows formulas of reactants and products.
    • Indicating states (g, l, s, aq)
    • Using coefficients to balance the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow.
    • Includes formulas of all components.

    Diatomic Elements

    • Oxygen (O2)
    • Hydrogen (H2)
    • Iodine (I2)
    • Nitrogen (N2)
    • Bromine (Br2)
    • Chlorine (Cl2)
    • Fluorine (F2)

    Polyatomic Ions

    • Treat these groups of atoms as a single unit during balancing.
    • Don't split up the components in compounds during balancing.

    Solubility Rules

    • Rules for predicting whether ionic compounds will dissolve in water (solubility).
    • Some compounds are always soluble.
    • Other compounds are typically insoluble unless paired with highly soluble ions.
    • Exceptions exist to these rules.

    Precipitation Reactions

    • Reactions producing an insoluble ionic compound from mixing aqueous solutions.
    • The insoluble product, called a precipitate, forms a solid.
    • Prediction:
      • Identify ions present in the reactants
      • Combine ions from the reactants into possible product arrangements
      • Predict if the products are soluble or not according to solubility rules.
      • Balance the equation
    • Identify spectator ions, if present.
    • When no precipitate can form, indicate "no reaction."

    Other Important Terms:

    • Spectator Ions: Ions present in a reaction but remain unchanged in the reaction solution.
    • Net Ionic Equation: An equation showing only the species directly involved in a reaction.
    • Strong Electrolytes: Substances that completely dissociate into ions in an aqueous solution (typically, soluble ionic compounds), strong acids, and strong bases.

    Acid-Base Reactions

    • Neutralization reactions between acids and bases produce water and a salt compound.
    • The H+ ion from the acid and the OH- ion from the base react to form a water molecule.
    • The cation from the base and the anion from the acid combine to form the salt.

    Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions

    • Reactions where electrons are transferred.
    • Oxidation: loss of electrons (increase in charge)
    • Reduction: gain of electrons (decrease in charge)
    • Reducing agent: loses electrons.
    • Oxidizing agent: gains electrons.

    Combination Reactions

    • Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
    • Typically involving elements bonding together to form ionic/covalent compounds.

    Decomposition Reactions

    • A single reactant breaks down into two or more simpler products.
    • The opposite of a combination reaction.

    Displacement/Replacement Reactions

    • A new element replaces one in a compound.
    • Can occur in a single-element substitution.
    • Possible in double-displacement substitution where ions are exchanged.

    Combustion Reaction

    • Rapid reaction between a fuel and oxygen, usually producing heat and light (exothermic).
    • Products are usually carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)
