Study Notes

Chemical Reactions

  • Chemical reactions involve changes in one or more substances to create new substances with different properties.
  • Reactants are the original substances, and products are the substances created.
  • Evidence of a chemical reaction includes changes in energy (heat, light, sound), formation of new substances (gas, precipitate), changes in color or odor.

Evidence of Chemical Reactions

  • Chemical reactions involve changes to one or more substances.
  • Not every change is a chemical reaction.
  • Clues to identify chemical changes include:
    • Heat change (released or absorbed)
    • Light emission (light released)
    • Formation of a gas (bubbles forming)
    • Formation of a precipitate (solid forming from a solution)
    • Color change
    • Odor change

Chemical Equations

  • Chemical equations use symbols to represent reactants and products.
  • Reactants are written on the left side of the arrow, and products on the right.
  • An arrow separates reactants from products.
  • Coefficients are numbers placed in front of the formulas to balance the equation, ensuring the same number of atoms of each element on both sides.

Balancing Chemical Equations

  • Balancing means ensuring that the same number of atoms of each element appears on both sides of the equation.
  • Coefficients are used to adjust the quantities of reactants and products.
  • Subscripts are not changed.
  • Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
    • Shows two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen gas to produce two molecules of water.

Categorizing Reactions

  • Combustion reactions: involve oxidation of a substance (e.g., hydrocarbons) with oxygen. The products are usually carbon dioxide and water.
  • Synthesis reactions: two or more reactants combining to form one product.
  • Decomposition reactions: reacting only one reactant and forming two or more products.
  • Displacement reactions: one element replaces another in a compound. Active metals easily displace less active metals. Activity series helps predict outcomes.
  • Double displacement reactions: two ionic compounds react, exchanging ions to form two new compounds. Sometimes, one product will be a solid (precipitate), or a gas.

Polyatomic Ions

  • Polyatomic ions contain more than one atom. They act as a unit in reactions.
  • Coefficients of polyatomic ions should be treated as one entity when balancing equations.
