    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions and Equations

    • Chemical reactions involve changes in the nature and identity of substances.
    • Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of bonds between atoms.
    • Signs that a chemical reaction has occurred include a change in state, color, temperature, or the evolution of a gas.
    • A chemical reaction can be represented by a word equation, showing reactants and products with words.
    • Chemical reactions can also be represented using chemical formulas, called a chemical equation.
    • Chemical equations must be balanced to satisfy the law of conservation of mass, ensuring the same number of each atom type on both sides of the equation.
    • A word equation shows reactants and products.
    • Reactants are the substances that undergo a chemical change.
    • Products are the new substances formed.
    • The arrow in an equation points to the product.
    • The number of each atom is equal on both sides of the equation.

    Activity 1.1

    • Students clean a magnesium ribbon and burn it using a spirit lamp.
    • Observe the visible changes.
    • Record observations of ash and color changes.

    Activity 1.2

    • Add potassium iodide to lead nitrate solution.
    • Observe any changes in color or formation of precipitation.

    Activity 1.3

    • Zinc granules are added to dilute hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.
    • Observe for any reaction occurring.
    • Check the temperature change.

    Types of Chemical Reactions:

    • Combination Reactions: A single product forms from two or more reactants.
      • Ex: CaO(s) + H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) (Heat released)
    • Decomposition Reactions: A single reactant breaks down into two or more products by supplied energy.
      • Ex: 2FeSO₄(s) → Fe₂O₃(s) + SO₂(g) + SO₃(g) (Heat supplied in the reaction)
    • Displacement Reactions: One element displaces another element in a compound.
      • Ex: 2Fe(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
    • Double Displacement Reactions: Ions from two different compounds exchange to form new compounds.
      • Ex: Na₂SO₄(aq) + BaCl₂(aq) → BaSO₄(s) + 2NaCl(aq)
    • Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions: A reaction where substances gain or lose electrons. (one substance is oxidized, the other reduced)
      • Ex: 2CuO(s) + H₂(s) → 2Cu(s) + H₂O(g)

    Physical States of Matter

    • (s) - solid
    • (l) - liquid
    • (g) - gas
    • (aq) - aqueous (dissolved in water)

    Balancing Chemical Equations

    • Count the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
    • Adjust coefficients (numbers in front of formulas) to make the number of each atom type equal on both sides.

    Examples

    • Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium Oxide
    • 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) --> 2MgO(s)

    Other key concepts

    • Corrosion: The gradual deterioration of metals due to chemical reactions with substances in the environment.
    • Rancidity: The unpleasant odor and taste change in fats and oils due to oxidation reactions from air contact.
