Chemical Reaction

A chemical reaction is a process that involves the rearrangement of atoms and molecules, resulting in the formation of new substances with different properties.

Word Equation

A word equation is a simple way to represent a chemical reaction using the names of the reactants and products.

Reactants

Reactants are the substances that are present at the beginning of a chemical reaction.

Products

Products are the substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

Oxidation and Reduction

In a chemical reaction, oxidation occurs when an atom loses electrons, and reduction occurs when an atom gains electrons. In Fe₂O₃ + 2Al → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe, iron (Fe) in Fe₂O₃ gains electrons, meaning it is being reduced, and aluminum (Al) loses electrons, meaning it is being oxidized.

Balanced Chemical Equation

A balanced chemical equation represents a chemical reaction with the same number of atoms of each element on both the reactant and product sides, obeying the law of conservation of mass. The coefficients in front of each chemical formula are adjusted to achieve balance.

Study Notes

Chemical Reactions and Equations

  • Chemical reactions involve changes in the nature and identity of substances
  • Chemical reactions can be represented by equations
  • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms
  • Key indicators of chemical reactions include: changes in state, color, temperature, and gas evolution
  • Chemical reactions are represented with chemical formulas instead of words for conciseness

Activity 1.1

  • CAUTION: Students should wear safety glasses when assisting with this activity
  • Clean a magnesium ribbon (3-4 cm long) with sandpaper
  • Hold the ribbon with tongs and burn it with a spirit lamp or burner.
  • Collect the ash in a watch glass. Observe the change in magnesium ribbon before burning and after burning.

Activity 1.2

  • Lead nitrate solution and potassium iodide solution are mixed in a test tube.
  • Observe any changes such as color or precipitate formation.

Activity 1.3

  • Zinc granules are placed in a conical flask or test tube
  • Add dilute hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.
  • Observe any reactions (such as gas evolution or change in temperature)
  • CAUTION: Handle the acid with care

Word Equations

  • Show reactants and products, but are not as concise as chemical equations.

Chemical Equations

  • Use chemical formulas instead of words.
  • Indicate physical states (g, l, s, aq), with (aq) meaning dissolved in water (aqueous solutions)
  • Balanced chemical equations equate the number of atoms of each element on both sides.

Balancing Chemical Equations

  • Chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass: mass cannot be created or destroyed.
  • Therefore, chemical equations must be balanced.
  • Use coefficients to balance the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.

Types of Chemical Reactions

  • Combination reaction: Two or more substances combine to form a single product. Example: CaO + Hâ‚‚O → Ca(OH)â‚‚
  • Decomposition reaction: A single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Example: 2FeSOâ‚„ → Feâ‚‚O₃ + SOâ‚‚ + SO₃
  • Displacement reaction: An element replaces another element in a compound. Example: Fe + CuSOâ‚„ → FeSOâ‚„ + Cu
  • Double Displacement reaction:Two compounds react, exchanging ions to form two new compounds. Example: Naâ‚‚SOâ‚„ + BaClâ‚‚ → BaSOâ‚„ + 2NaCl

Oxidation and Reduction (Redox) Reactions

  • Oxidation: Gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen
  • Reduction: Loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen
  • These reactions often occur together. Example: 2Cu + Oâ‚‚ → 2CuO (oxidation). CuO + Hâ‚‚ → Cu + Hâ‚‚O (reduction)

Corrosion

  • Oxidation of metals, particularly iron, over time.
  • Rust is a common form of iron corrosion.

Rancidity

  • Oxidation of fats and oils, causing a disagreeable smell and taste.
  • Substances called antioxidants can help prevent rancidity.
