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)
