Study Notes

Chemical Reactions and Equations

  • A chemical reaction transforms one or more substances into new substances.
  • Reactants are the substances before the reaction, and products are the substances after.
  • Chemical equations symbolize reactions, with reactants on the left and products on the right of an arrow.
  • Example: 2Hâ‚‚ + Oâ‚‚ → 2Hâ‚‚O
  • Balancing chemical equations ensures the same number of each element's atoms on both sides.
  • Coefficients adjust the number of molecules, but subscripts cannot be changed.
  • Example: CHâ‚„ + 2Oâ‚‚ → COâ‚‚ + 2Hâ‚‚O

Types of Chemical Reactions

  • Combination: Two or more substances combine to form one new substance.
    • Example: 2Na + Clâ‚‚ → 2NaCl
  • Decomposition: A single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
    • Example: 2Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚ → 2Hâ‚‚O + Oâ‚‚
  • Displacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
    • Example: Zn + CuSOâ‚„ → ZnSOâ‚„ + Cu
  • Redox: Involves both oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons).
    • Example: 2Mg + Oâ‚‚ → 2MgO
