    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
    • Reactants are the substances that undergo change.
    • Products are the new substances formed.
    • Chemical equations represent reactions, with reactants on the left and products on the right, separated by an arrow.
    • The Law of Conservation of Mass applies, meaning the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. This is balanced.

    Examples of Chemical Reactions

    • Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) reacts with carbon dioxide (CO₂) to produce calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and water (H₂O). Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ → CaCO₃ + H₂O

    • Calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O) is a chemical compound.
