Study Notes
Chemical Reactions & Equations
- Chemical reactions involve the transformation of one or more substances into different substances.
- Examples include rusting of iron, setting of milk, digestion, and respiration.
- Chemical reactions are indicated by chemical changes.
- Chemical equations represent chemical reactions using symbols and formulae of reactants and products.
- Characteristics of chemical reactions include: formation of new substances, change in colour, evolution/absorption of heat, formation of precipitate, change in state of matter, and change in energy.
Balancing Chemical Equations
- A balanced chemical equation has an equal number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
- The law of conservation of mass states that mass of reactants equals mass of products.
- To balance an equation, adjust coefficients in front of chemical formulas to balance the number of atoms of each element.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination reactions: Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
- Example: Formation of water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O)
- Decomposition reactions: A single reactant decomposes into two or more products.
- Example: Decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂)
- Displacement reactions: A more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound.
- Example: Zinc displacing copper from copper sulfate (Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu)
- Double displacement reactions: Two ionic compounds react by exchanging ions to form two new compounds.
- Example: Sodium sulfate and barium chloride reacting to form barium sulfate and sodium chloride (Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ → BaSO₄ + 2NaCl)
Effects of Oxidation Reactions
- Corrosion: Gradual destruction of metals due to chemical reaction with their environment (e.g., rusting of iron).
- Rancidity: Spoilage of fats and oils in food due to oxidation.
- Prevention methods for corrosion and rancidity involve coating, proper storage conditions etc
Oxidation and Reduction
- Oxidation: Gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
- Reduction: Loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
- Redox reactions involve both oxidation and reduction.
- Examples include reactions involving oxygen and hydrogen.
Experiments and Activities
- Several activities and experiments are described showcasing chemical reactions and their observations. These illustrate different types of reactions.
