    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: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
    • 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: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Combination: Two or more substances combine to form one new substance.
      • Example: 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
    • Decomposition: A single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
      • Example: 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂
    • Displacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
      • Example: Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu
    • Redox: Involves both oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons).
      • Example: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
    • Double Displacement: Exchange of ions between two compounds.
      • Example: NaCl + AgNO₃ → AgCl + NaNO₃

    Effects of Chemical Reactions

    • Evolution of gas (e.g., formation of bubbles)
    • Formation of precipitate (e.g., formation of a solid)
    • Change in color (e.g., color change of reactants)
    • Change in temperature (e.g., heat absorption or release)

    Stoichiometry and Real Life

    • Stoichiometry calculates quantities of reactants and products. Crucial for industrial processes.
    • Chemical reactions drive environmental processes such as pollutant breakdown.
    • Chemical reactions are crucial in various industries, like fertilizer production and pharmaceuticals.
    • Chemical reactions are vital for everyday life functions like digestion, respiration, and cooking.

    Important Concepts

    • Exothermic Reactions: Release energy during a reaction. (Example: Respiration)
    • Endothermic Reactions: Absorb energy during a reaction. (Example: Decomposition of calcium carbonate)
    • Photosynthesis: Converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.
    • Respiration: Breaks down glucose with oxygen to release energy.
    • Rusting of Iron: Iron reacts with oxygen and water, forming hydrated iron(III) oxide.
    • Importance of Balancing Equations: Explains the Conservation of Mass, and Predicts products.

    Additional Points

    • Catalyst speeds up reactions without being consumed.
    • Chemical reactions are important in medicine for drug synthesis and diagnostics.
    • Chemical equations are fundamental in chemistry for understanding and predicting reactions.
