Study Notes

Chemical Reactions

  • Decomposition: A chemical reaction where one reactant breaks down to form multiple products.
    • Example: 2Pb(NO3)2 → 2PbO + 4NO2(g) + O2 (lead nitrate decomposes to lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen)
  • Double Displacement: A chemical reaction where two reactants exchange ions to form two new products.
    • Example: 2KI + Pb(NO3)2 → PbI2 + 2KNO3
    • Example: 2KBr + BaI2 → 2KI + BaBr2
  • Combination Reaction: A reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
    • Example: H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl (hydrogen gas and chlorine gas combine to form hydrochloric acid)
  • Displacement Reaction: A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound.
    • Example: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) (iron replaces copper in copper sulfate)
  • Redox Reaction: A reaction involving the transfer of electrons.
    • Oxidation: Loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.
    • Reduction: Gain of electrons and decrease in oxidation number.
    • Example: 3MnO2 + 4Al → 3Mn + 2Al2O3
      • Aluminum (Al) is the reducing agent, it reduces manganese oxide (MnO2) and gets oxidized.
      • Manganese oxide (MnO2) is the oxidizing agent, it oxidizes aluminum (Al) and gets reduced.

Chemical Properties & Reactions

  • Silver Chloride: Turns gray when exposed to sunlight due to decomposition into silver and chlorine.
    • Chemical Equation: 2AgCl → 2Ag + Cl2
  • Lead Nitrate: When heated, it decomposes into lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide (brown gas), and oxygen gas.
    • Chemical Equation: 2Pb(NO3)2 → 2PbO + 4NO2 (g) + O2
  • Quicklime (Calcium Oxide): Reacts vigorously with water, releasing heat and forming calcium hydroxide.
    • Chemical Equation: CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2
  • Iron Nail in Copper Sulfate Solution: Iron displaces copper in the solution, forming iron sulfate and depositing copper on the nail.
    • Chemical Equation: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
  • Calcium Carbonate: Decomposes when heated into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas.
    • Chemical Equation: CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)

Silver Chloride Properties

  • Silver chloride (AgCl) is a white, insoluble compound (precipitate) that turns grey when exposed to light.
    • Stored in dark-colored bottles to prevent decomposition.

Iron Properties

  • Iron displaces copper from copper sulfate solution (Fe is more reactive than Cu).
    • Chemical Equation: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

Respiration

  • A chemical reaction that releases energy by breaking down glucose with oxygen.
    • Exothermic Reaction: Releases heat and light energy

Miscellaneous

  • Potato chips: Packed in nitrogen gas (N2) to prevent spoilage and oxidation.
  • Barium sulfate: A white precipitate formed in a precipitation reaction.
  • Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) A bluish-green colored crystal.
