    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions

    • A chemical reaction transforms reactants into products, indicating a chemical change.
    • Evidence of a reaction includes:
      • Color change
      • Formation of a precipitate
      • Gas production
      • Heat evolution or absorption

    Stoichiometry

    • Studies the quantities of substances in chemical reactions.
    • Based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, asserting that mass is conserved during reactions.

    Chemical Equations

    • Represent chemical reactions using symbols and formulas; reactants on the left, products on the right.
    • Balancing equations requires adjusting coefficients (the numbers before substances), not subscripts (the numbers in formulas).
    • Follow the conservation of mass to ensure equal numbers of each atom on both sides.

    Decomposition Reactions

    • Break a compound into two or more simpler substances.
    • General formula: AB ⟶ A + B.
    • Example: 2H2O2 ⟶ 2H2O + O2 (decomposition of hydrogen peroxide).

    Single Displacement Reactions

    • An element reacts with a compound, replacing one of its components.
    • General formula can involve cation or anion exchange:
      • Cation: A + BC ⟶ B + AC
      • Anion: A + BC ⟶ C + BA.
    • Reactivity series determines if one element can replace another.

    Activity Series

    • More reactive elements can replace less reactive ones in reactions.
    • Example of cation exchange: Fe + CuSO4 ⟶ Cu + FeSO4.
    • Example of anion exchange: Cl2 + 2NaBr ⟶ 2NaCl + Br2.
    • Less reactive elements do not displace others; e.g., I2 + 2KBr ⟶ No Reaction.

    Double Displacement Reactions

    • Occurs when positive and negative ions in two compounds switch places.
    • General formula: AB + CD ⟶ AD + CB.
    • Examples include neutralization reactions like HCl + NaOH ⟶ NaCl + H2O.

    Combustion Reactions

    • A substance reacts with oxygen, releasing energy and producing CO2 and H2O.
    • General formula: CxHy + O2 ⟶ CO2 + H2O.
    • Examples include cellular respiration and methane combustion.

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Combination/Synthesis: A + B → AB.
    • Analysis/Decomposition: AB → A + B.
    • Single Displacement: A + BC → AC + B.
    • Double Displacement: AB + CD → AD + CB.

    Mass Composition Calculations

    • Percentage mass composition formula:
      • % mass = (number of atoms x atomic weight) / formula weight of compound x 100%.
    • Example: In H2SO4, %H = 2.056%, %S = 32.69%, %O = 65.25%.

    The Mole and Avogadro’s Number

    • Used to calculate amounts in stoichiometric relationships.
    • Example of determining the mass of carbon from the combustion of CO2.

    Limiting and Excess Reactants

    • The limiting reactant is present in the smallest amount and determines the extent of the reaction.
    • Example: In the formation of ammonia (NH3) from N2 and H2, the limiting reactant can be found by calculating the required moles based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
