Study Notes
- A chemical reaction rearranges atoms and molecules to create new substances.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination reactions involve two or more substances uniting into a single, new compound, such as 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.
- Decomposition reactions break down a single substance into two or more simpler substances, such as 2H2O → 2H2 + O2.
- Displacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound, like Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu.
- Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) reactions entail electron transfer between substances, for example, 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO.
Types of Decomposition Reactions
- Thermal Decomposition: Heating a substance causes decomposition, like 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2.
- Thermal Dissociation: The breaking down of a molecule into simpler molecules through heating, for example, 2H2O → 2H2 + O2.
- Electrolytic Decomposition: An electric current passed through a substance causes decomposition, illustrated by 2H2O → 2H2 + O2.
- Photochemical Decomposition: Exposure to light causes a substance to decompose, for example, 2AgCl → 2Ag + Cl2.
