Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the conversion of reactants into products.
- Reactants are starting substances, and products are the substances formed during the reaction.
- Chemical reactions rearrange atoms to form new substances.
Types of Chemical Reactions
-
Combustion: A substance reacts with oxygen, releasing energy as light and heat.
- Example: Burning hydrogen gas produces water vapor.
- Hydrocarbons, like propane, burn to produce carbon dioxide and water.
-
Decomposition: A compound breaks down into simpler substances.
- Requires energy input (heat, light, or electricity).
- Example: Mercury (II) oxide decomposes into mercury and oxygen gas when heated.
-
Neutralization (Acid-Base): An acid and a base react to form water and a salt.
- Involves combining H+ ions from acid and OH- ions from base to form water.
-
Single-Replacement: One element replaces a similar element in a compound.
- Examples:
- Magnesium metal replaces copper in copper nitrate.
- Fluorine replaces bromine in sodium bromide.
- Examples:
-
Double-Replacement: Positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places.
- Can form a precipitate, an insoluble ionic compound.
- Example: Mixing potassium iodide and lead (II) nitrate forms lead iodide.
-
Redox Reactions: Electrons are transferred between reactants.
- Changes in oxidation states of the reacting species indicate electron transfer.
- Examples:
- Calcium carbonate decomposes.
- Hydrogen and chlorine react to form hydrochloric acid.
- Iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide.
Chemical Equations
- Represent chemical reactions symbolically.
- Reactants and products are expressed using their chemical formulas.
- Methods for balancing equations:
- Inspection (Trial and Error)
- Algebraic
- Oxidation State
- Ion-Electron Partial
Equilibrium
- A state where observable properties (color, temperature, pressure, concentration) remain constant.
- Indicates a balance between reactants and products.
- Physical equilibrium: Occurs in physical processes (melting, dissolution).
- Chemical equilibrium: Occurs in chemical reactions.
Coordination Chemistry
- Study of compounds formed between metal ions and neutral or negatively charged molecules.
- These compounds are called metal complexes.
Complex Formation
-
Components of Complex Ions:
- Central ion: The metal ion at the center of the complex.
- Ligand/s: Molecules or ions bonded to the central ion.
- Coordination sphere: The central ion and its surrounding ligands.
- Coordination number: The number of ligands attached to the central ion.
- Charge on complex: The overall charge of the complex ion.
- Oxidation number: The charge on the central metal atom.
Example Complexes
-
[CuCl(NO2)(NH3)4]+:
- Central ion: Cu
- Ligands: Cl, NO2, NH3
- Coordination sphere: [CuCl(NO2)(NH3)4]+
- Coordination number: 6
- Charge on complex: +1
- Oxidation number: +2
-
[Pt(C2O4)2(H2O)2]-:
- Central ion: Pt
- Ligands: C2O4, H2O
- Coordination sphere: [Pt(C2O4)2(H2O)2]-
- Coordination number: 6
- Charge on complex: -1
- Oxidation number: +2
