    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions and Equations

    • Chemical reactions involve changes in the nature and identity of substances.
    • Chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds.
    • Chemical reactions can be observed by changes in state, color, evolution of a gas, and/or temperature.
    • A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction using chemical formulas and symbols.

    Chemical Equations

    • Chemical formulas (e.g., Mg, O2, MgO) replace words in word equations.
    • Word equations show reactants converting to products.
    • A chemical equation is balanced when the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.
    • Reactants are written on the left side, products on the right side of the arrow.
    • Balanced equations reflect the law of conservation of mass.
    • Physical states (s, l, g, aq) are included for clarification and completeness.

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    Combination Reactions

    • Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
    • Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O (formation of water)

    Decomposition Reactions

    • A single reactant breaks down into two or more products.
    • Example: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2 (decomposition of water)

    Displacement Reactions

    • A more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound.
    • Example: Mg + CuSO4 → MgSO4 + Cu (magnesium displacing copper)

    Double Displacement Reactions

    • Two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.
    • Example: Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl (formation of barium sulfate precipitate)

    Oxidation and Reduction

    • Oxidation is the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
    • Reduction is the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
    • Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve both oxidation and reduction.
    • Example: 2Cu + O2 → 2CuO (copper oxide formation)
