Study Notes
Chemical Reactions & Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry: The study of mass relationships in chemical reactions, focusing on how much of each reactant is needed and how much product is formed.
- Chemical Equation: A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas.
- Reactants: Substances present at the start of a reaction.
- Products: Substances formed during the reaction.
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Law of Conservation of Mass: Matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
- Balancing: Adjusting coefficients in front of chemical formulas to ensure the same number of each type of atom appears on both sides of the equation.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combustion: Burning in air, often involving rapid reaction with oxygen.
-
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (Redox Reactions): Reactions involving the transfer of electrons.
- Oxidation: Loss of electrons, often involves gaining oxygen or losing hydrogen.

Moles and Formula Weights
- Mole (mol): The SI unit for amount of substance, defined as the number of entities (atoms, molecules, etc.) in a sample equal to the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.
- Avogadro's Number: The number of entities in one mole, approximately 6.022 x 10^23.
- Formula Weight (FW): The sum of the atomic weights of all the atoms in a chemical formula, expressed in atomic mass units (amu).
- Molecular Weight (MW): The weight of a molecule, equivalent to the formula weight for molecular compounds.
- Molar Mass: The mass of one mole of a substance expressed in grams, numerically equal to the formula weight.
Calculations Involving Moles and Grams
- Grams to Moles Conversion: Divide the mass of the substance by its molar mass.
- Moles to Grams Conversion: Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass.
Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield
- Limiting Reactant: The reactant that is completely consumed first in a reaction, determining the amount of product that can be formed.
- Theoretical Yield: The maximum amount of product that can be formed based on the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, assuming complete reaction of the limiting reactant.
- Actual Yield: The amount of product actually obtained in a reaction, often less than the theoretical yield due to factors like incomplete reactions, side reactions, or loss during isolation.
- Percent Yield: The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.
Solutions and Aqueous Reactions
- Aqueous Solutions: Solutions where water is the solvent.
- Dissociation: The separation of ionic compounds into their ions when dissolved in water.
- Spectator Ions: Ions that appear unchanged on both sides of a chemical equation, not directly involved in the reaction.
- Net Ionic Equation: A chemical equation that only shows the species involved in the actual reaction, omitting spectator ions.
Energy Changes in Reactions
- Exothermic Reactions: Reactions that release heat to the surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature.
- Endothermic Reactions: Reactions that absorb heat from the surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature.
- Heat of Reaction: The amount of heat absorbed or released during a reaction under specific conditions.
- Heat of Combustion: The heat released during a combustion reaction.
Applications
- Batteries: Devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions.
- Respiration: The process where living organisms obtain energy by oxidizing carbon-containing compounds.
- Bleaching: The process of removing color from substances through oxidation or reduction reactions.
- Rusting: The corrosion of iron by oxidation to form iron oxides.
