Study Notes
Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry
-
Balanced Chemical Equations:
- Coefficients in a chemical equation represent the mole ratio of reactants and products.
- Balancing ensures the same number of each atom type on both sides.
-
Single Displacement Reactions:
- A type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound.
- Example: Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
-
Oxidation Numbers:
- A method to track electrons in a chemical reaction.
- Used to identify oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons).
- Sulfur in Fe₂(SO₄)₃ has an oxidation number of +6.
-
Redox Reactions:
- Chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons.
- Involve both oxidation and reduction processes.
- Example: 2K + Cl₂→2KCl illustrates an electron transfer.
-
Non-Redox Reactions:
- Reactions that do not involve changes in oxidation numbers.
- Example: souring of milk, formation of CaCO₃,
-
Decomposition Reactions:
- Reactions where a compound breaks down into simpler substances.
- Example: CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂ (incorrect example for decomposition reaction type)
-
Combination Reactions:
- Reactions where two or more substances combine to form a single product.
- Example: 4 Al (s) + 3 O₂ (g) → 2 Al₂O₃ (s)
-
Stoichiometry Calculations:
- Determine the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction using mole ratios.
- Calculate the mass of product formed or required reactant.
Percentage Yield
- Percentage yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) * 100%
- Represents the efficiency of a reaction.
Aluminum Oxide Formation
- 23.6 g of Al reacts with oxygen to form Al₂O₃ (aluminum oxide).
- To calculate the mass of Al₂O₃ formed, you need the balanced equation and molar mass of each substance involved.
