Conservation of Mass

Mass in a chemical reaction is conserved; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products. Balanced by adjusting coefficients.

Synthesis Reaction

Two or more reactants combine to form a single product: A + B → AB

Decomposition Reaction

A single reactant breaks down into two or more products: AB → A + B

Single Replacement Reaction

One element replaces another in a compound: A + BC → B + AC

Study Notes

  • Mass of reactants must equal the mass of products in a chemical reaction
  • Balance equations by adjusting coefficients

Classifying Reactions

  • Synthesis: A + B → AB
  • Decomposition: AB → A + B
  • Single Replacement: A + BC → B + AC
  • Double Replacement: AB + CD → AD + CB
  • Combustion: Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Ionic Compounds: Naming and Properties

  • Named using metal + nonmetal (-ide) or polyatomic ions
  • High melting/boiling points
  • Conduct electricity when dissolved in water

Factors Affecting Reaction Rates

  • Temperature: Higher temp = faster reaction
  • Concentration: More particles = more collisions
  • Surface Area: Smaller pieces react faster
  • Catalysts: Speed up reactions without being consumed
  • Pressure (gases only): Higher pressure = faster reaction

Phase Transitions

  • Endothermic (absorbs heat): Melting, evaporation, sublimation
  • Exothermic (releases heat): Freezing, condensation, deposition

Molarity (M)

  • Concentration of a solution: M = moles of solute/liters of solution

Acids and Bases

  • Acids: pH < 7, taste sour, donate H⁺ (HCl, H₂SO₄)
  • Bases: pH > 7, taste bitter, accept H⁺ or release OH⁻ (NaOH, NH₃)
  • Neutralization: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
