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.
