Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
- Reactants are the original substances, while products are the substances formed.
- Evidence of a chemical reaction includes changes in color, formation of gas, formation of a precipitate, and energy changes (release or absorption of heat, light, or sound).
Evidence of Chemical Change
- There are signs that suggest a chemical change is happening:
- Changes in energy (heat, light, sound, temperature).
- Formation of new substances (formation of gas, precipitate, change in color, change in odor).
Chemical Reactions Versus Physical Changes
- Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different properties.
- Physical changes do not result in the formation of new substances. Changes in state, such as melting, freezing, boiling are physical changes.
Chemical Equations
- Chemical equations use symbols to represent elements and formulas to represent compounds.
- Coefficients are used to balance the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
- Subscripts indicate the number of atoms of each element in a compound.
Balancing Chemical Equations
- The law of conservation of mass must be obeyed.
- Coefficients in front of the formulas are used to balance equations.
- The formulas of compounds cannot be changed when balancing the equation.
Reaction Types
- Combustion: The reaction of a substance with oxygen, usually producing heat and light.
- Synthesis: Two or more substances combining to form one new substance.
- Decomposition: A single substance breaking down into two or more substances.
- Displacement: A more active element replaces a less active element in a compound.
- Double-Displacement: Two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.
Polyatomic Ions
- Polyatomic ions can be considered as a unit when balancing equations.
Predicting Products
- The activity series of elements is used to predict displacement reactions.
- The reactivity of elements is important when predicting the products of a reaction.
