    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions

    • A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances (reactants) are converted into new substances (products)
    • Chemical reactions involve the transformation of atoms or molecules, resulting in a change in the chemical composition of the substances involved

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Synthesis reaction: two or more substances combine to form a new substance
      • Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
    • Decomposition reaction: a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances
      • Example: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
    • Single displacement reaction: one element displaces another element from a compound
      • Example: Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
    • Double displacement reaction: two compounds exchange partners, resulting in the formation of two new compounds
      • Example: NaCl + AgNO3 → NaNO3 + AgCl

    Chemical Equations

    • A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, using chemical formulas and symbols to represent the reactants and products
    • Chemical equations must be balanced, meaning that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides

    Writing Chemical Equations

    • Use chemical formulas to represent the reactants and products
    • Use arrows to indicate the direction of the reaction (→)
    • Use coefficients to balance the equation, if necessary
    • Write the reactants on the left side of the arrow and the products on the right side
    • Use state symbols to indicate the physical state of the substances (s, l, g, aq)

    Balancing Chemical Equations

    • Count the number of atoms of each element on both the reactant and product sides
    • Add coefficients to balance the equation, if necessary
    • Check to ensure that the equation is balanced by counting the number of atoms of each element on both sides

    Stoichiometry

    • Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction
    • Mole ratios can be used to determine the amounts of reactants required or products formed in a reaction

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the transformation of atoms or molecules, resulting in a change in the chemical composition of the substances involved
    • Reactants are converted into new substances, known as products

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Synthesis reaction: combines two or more substances to form a new substance, e.g., 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
    • Decomposition reaction: breaks down a single substance into two or more simpler substances, e.g., 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
    • Single displacement reaction: one element displaces another element from a compound, e.g., Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
    • Double displacement reaction: two compounds exchange partners, resulting in the formation of two new compounds, e.g., NaCl + AgNO3 → NaNO3 + AgCl

    • Count the number of atoms of each element on both reactant and product sides
    • Add coefficients to balance the equation, if necessary
    • Ensure the equation is balanced by counting the number of atoms of each element on both sides

    Stoichiometry

    • Stoichiometry is the study of quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction
    • Mole ratios can be used to determine the amounts of reactants required or products formed in a reaction
