Study Notes

Chemical Reactions

Synthesis Reactions

  • A reaction where two or more substances combine to form a new compound
  • General equation: A + B → AB
  • Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O (hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water)
  • Characteristics:
    • Two reactants form one product
    • Often releases energy (exothermic)

Decomposition Reactions

  • A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances
  • General equation: AB → A + B
  • Example: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2 (water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen)
  • Characteristics:
    • One reactant forms two or more products
    • Often absorbs energy (endothermic)

Combustion Reactions

  • A reaction where a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light
  • General equation: Fuel + O2 → Products (CO2, H2O, etc.)
  • Example: 2CH4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O (methane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water)
  • Characteristics:
    • Involves oxygen as a reactant
    • Releases heat and light energy
    • Often produces CO2 and H2O as products

Single Displacement Reactions

  • A reaction where one element displaces another element from a compound
  • General equation: A + BC → AC + B
  • Example: Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu (zinc displaces copper from copper sulfate)
  • Characteristics:
    • One element replaces another element in a compound
    • Often forms a new compound and a pure element as products
