    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions and Equations

    • Chemical reactions the changing of substances into new substances, with different properties.
    • Atoms in reactants rearrange, but no new elements are formed. Examples incinvolvelude burning magnesium and zinc reacting with sulfuric acid.
    • Reactants: Substances that undergo change in a chemical reaction.
    • Products: Substances produced during the chemical change.
    • Chemical equations: Use symbols and formulas to represent reactions (e.g., 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO).
    • Chemical equations can be balanced (equal atoms on both sides) or unbalanced.
    • Characteristics of chemical reactions include changes in color, state, temperature, gas evolution, and precipitate formation.

    Chemical Equations and their Balancing

    • Balanced Equations: Atoms of each element are equal on both sides of the reaction. This is crucial for accuracy.
    • Unbalanced Equations: Atoms are not equal on both sides are therefore require balancing.
    • Physical states (s, l, g, aq) are included to provide more information.
    • Conditions like temperature, pressure, and catalysts are often written above or below the arrow.
    • Equations can be made more informative by adding details about concentrations and energy changes involved.

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Combination Reactions: Two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Exothermic.
      • Two elements forming a compound (e.g., 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO)
      • Two compounds forming a new compound (e.g., NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl)
      • An element and a compound forming a new compound
    • Decomposition Reactions: A complex compound breaks down into simpler substances. Endothermic.
      • Thermal Decomposition: Using heat (e.g., 2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO + 4NO₂ + O₂ )
      • Photodecomposition: Using light
      • Electrolytic Decomposition: Using electricity
    • Displacement Reactions: A more reactive element displaces a less reactive one from its compound. Exothermic (e.g., Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu)
    • Double Displacement Reactions: Exchange of ions between two ionic compounds in solution to form new compounds. (e.g., BaCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2NaCl)
    • Neutralization Reactions: Acid and base react to form salt and water (e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O)

    Redox Reactions (Oxidation-Reduction)

    • Oxidation: Gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen, or loss of electrons.
    • Reduction: Loss of oxygen, gain of hydrogen, or gain of electrons.
    • Redox reactions involve both oxidation and reduction occurring simultaneously. (e.g., CuO + H₂ → Cu + H₂O)

    Reactivity Series

    • A list of metals arranged in order of their decreasing reactivity.
    • More reactive metals displace less reactive ones from their compounds.
