    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions are processes where one or more substances change to produce one or more different substances.
    • Reactants are the original substances (elements or compounds).
    • Products are the new substances formed.
    • Chemical reactions often involve changes in energy (heat, light, sound, etc.).
    • Changes in color, formation of a gas, formation of a precipitate, and changes in odor are common indicators of a chemical reaction.
    • Chemical reactions rearrange atoms, but the number of each type of atom remains the same. This is the law of conservation of mass.

    Evidence of Chemical Reactions

    • Evidence for a chemical reaction may include:
      • Change in color
      • Production of a gas
      • Formation of a precipitate (solid)
      • Release or absorption of heat, light, or sound
      • Change in odor

    Chemical Equations

    • Chemical equations use symbols to represent the elements and formulas to represent the compounds in a reaction.
    • Reactant formulas are written on the left side of the equation and product formulas on the right side.
    • An arrow represents the 'yields' or 'produces' part of the reaction.
    • Coefficients are numerical values placed in front of formulas to balance the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation, following the law of conservation of mass.
    • Subscripts are used in the formulas to show the exact numbers of each type of atom in one molecule of a compound (e.g. H₂O). Coefficients are changed and not subscripts when balancing an equation.

    Balancing Chemical Equations

    • Coefficients represent the number of molecules or formula units involved in a reaction.
    • Adding coefficients before formulas adjusts the number of atoms to satisfy the law of conservation of mass, ensuring there is an equal number of each type of atom present on both sides of the reaction equation.
    • The odd-even technique can be used, multiplying all coefficients or dividing by 2 until there is an even number of a particular element (usually hydrogen or oxygen) on both sides of the equation, which is useful in balancing equations.

    Reaction Types

    • Combustion: A reaction of a substance with oxygen, accompanied by heat and light.
      • Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide and water
    • Synthesis: Two or more substances combine to form a more complex compound (often a single product).
      • Often, two elements react to form a binary compound.
    • Decomposition: A single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances (often multiple products).
      • Binary compound reacts to form elements.
    • Single-Displacement: One element replaces another element in a compound.
      • Using the activity series, the more active element in a metal displacement reaction (at the top of the activity series) will replace the less active element (lower in the activity series) in the compound.
    • Double-Displacement: Two compounds exchange partners (or ions) to form two new compounds.
      • The reaction may produce a solid (precipitation), a gas, or water (neutralization reaction).
