Study Notes
Chemical Reactions and Equations
- Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of bonds between atoms to create new substances.
- Atom identity and number remain constant; they do not change into other elements or disappear.
- Balanced equations must include state symbols (e.g., solid, liquid, gas, aqueous).
Example Reactions
- Hydrogen + Chlorine → Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
- Barium chloride + Aluminium sulphate → Barium sulphate + Aluminium chloride
- Sodium + Water → Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Barium chloride solution reacts with sodium sulphate to form insoluble barium sulphate and sodium chloride solution:
BaCl₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq) → BaSO₄(s) + 2NaCl(aq) - Sodium hydroxide solution reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride solution and water:
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination reactions occur when two or more substances combine to form a single product.
- Example of combination reaction:
CaO(s) + H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) - Exothermic reactions release heat during the formation of products.
Exothermic Reaction Examples
- Burning of coal: C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)
- Formation of water: 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)
- Burning of natural gas: CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)
- Respiration is an exothermic process where glucose combines with oxygen:
C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) + 6O₂(aq) → 6CO₂(aq) + 6H₂O(l) + energy
Activities Demonstrating Reactions
- Burning magnesium ribbon produces magnesium oxide, releasing heat and light.
- Observations include a dazzling white flame and formation of a white powder.
Everyday Chemical Changes
- Fermentation of grapes, cooking, digestion, respiration, and milk spoiling are daily life examples of chemical changes indicating a chemical reaction has occurred.
