    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions and Equations

    • Chemical reactions involve a change in the nature and identity of the initial substance, resulting in a new product.
    • Examples of chemical reactions in daily life include:
      • Milk spoiling when left at room temperature
      • Iron rusting when exposed to humid air
      • Grapes fermenting
      • Food cooking
      • Digestion of food in the body
      • Respiration

    Chemical Equations

    • A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction using symbols and formulas.
    • A skeletal chemical equation is a basic representation of a chemical reaction that may not be balanced.
    • The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the total mass of elements in the reactants must equal the total mass of elements in the products.
    • A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

    Balancing Chemical Equations

    • To balance a chemical equation, first draw boxes around each formula.
    • Count the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation and adjust the coefficients as necessary to make the equation balanced.

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Displacement reactions: a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound.
    • Oxidation-reduction reactions (redox reactions): one reactant is oxidized (loses electrons) while the other is reduced (gains electrons).
    • Examples of redox reactions include:
      • CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O
      • ZnO + C → Zn + CO
      • MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

    Characteristics of Chemical Reactions

    • If a substance gains oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be oxidized.
    • If a substance loses oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be reduced.
    • Oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously in a redox reaction.
