    Chemical Reactions

    Chemical Equation

    • A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction
    • It uses chemical formulas of reactants and products to represent the reaction
    • Reactants are written on the left, and products are written on the right, separated by an arrow (→)

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Combination Reaction: two or more substances combine to form a new compound
      • Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
    • Decomposition Reaction: a single compound breaks down into two or more substances
      • Example: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
    • Displacement Reaction: one element displaces another element from a compound
      • Example: Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
    • Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reaction: involves the transfer of electrons
      • Example: 2CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O

    Oxidation and Reduction

    • Oxidation: a substance loses one or more electrons
    • Reduction: a substance gains one or more electrons
    • Oxidizing Agent: a substance that causes oxidation (gains electrons)
    • Reducing Agent: a substance that causes reduction (loses electrons)

    Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

    • Exothermic Reaction: a reaction that releases heat energy
      • Example: CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + Heat
    • Endothermic Reaction: a reaction that absorbs heat energy
      • Example: CaCO3 + Heat → CaO + CO2

    Factors Affecting Chemical Reactions

    • Temperature: increased temperature can increase reaction rate
    • Concentration: increased concentration of reactants can increase reaction rate
    • Surface Area: increased surface area of reactants can increase reaction rate
    • Catalyst: a substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed
