Study Notes
Chemical Equations
- Chemical equations represent chemical reactions.
- Reactants are written on the left side with a plus sign (+) between them.
- Products are written on the right side with a plus sign (+) between them.
- The arrowhead points towards the products, showing the direction of the reaction.
- Chemical equations can be made concise and useful if we use chemical formulas instead of words.
- A skeletal chemical equation is an unbalanced equation.
- In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the arrow are the same.
- When balancing a chemical equation, remember the law of conservation of mass: mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Types Of Chemical Reactions
- Combination Reaction: Two or more substances combine to form a new single substance.
- Decomposition Reactions: A single substance decomposes to give two or more substances. They are the opposite of combination reactions.
- Displacement Reactions: An element displaces another element from its compound.
- Double Displacement Reactions: Two different atoms or groups of atoms (ions) are exchanged.
- Precipitation reactions: Reactions that produce insoluble salts.
Energy Changes In Chemical Reactions
- Exothermic reactions: Reactions in which heat is given out along with the products.
- Endothermic reactions: Reactions in which energy is absorbed.
Oxidation and Reduction
- Oxidation: The gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
- Reduction: The loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
