Study Notes
Chemical Reactions Overview
- Liquid water (H2O) is formed from the reaction of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2); properties differ due to new substance formation.
- Sodium (Na) is a reactive solid, and chlorine (Cl), a toxic gas, combine to form stable table salt (NaCl); properties of the new substance differ from reactants.
- Chemical reactions involve breaking and forming bonds; this occurs exclusively during chemical changes, not physical changes.
Indicators of Chemical Reactions
- Formation of a solid from liquids, color changes, and gas bubbles indicate new substances are forming.
- Equations balance to ensure equal numbers of atoms for each element on both sides.
Understanding Chemical Equations
- Reactants in the reaction 4 Ag + 2 H2S + O2 → 2 Ag2S + 2 H2O are silver, oxygen, and hydrogen sulfide.
- The symbol "⇄" in a chemical equation indicates that the reaction is reversible.
- The Law of Conservation of Mass states that the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants; mass remains constant.
Products of Chemical Reactions
- In the reaction Cr2O3 + 3 C → 2 Cr + 3 CO, the products are chromium and carbon monoxide.
- Products maintain the same number of atoms as reactants and may form new substances.
Characteristics of Chemical Reactions
- A new substance is formed during a chemical reaction, retaining the same number of atoms as the starting materials.
- An endothermic reaction occurs in scenarios like cold packs; these absorb energy during the process.
- Energy dynamics vary; some reactions absorb energy while others release it, such as in exothermic reactions.
Practical Applications
- Cold packs utilize ammonium nitrate and water; breaking barriers initiates an endothermic reaction, creating a cooling effect on injuries.
- Mixing hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide exemplifies an exothermic reaction where energy is released.
