Study Notes

Chemical Reaction

A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances (reactants) are converted into new substances (products).

Types of Chemical Reactions:

  • Synthesis Reaction: Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
    • Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
  • Decomposition Reaction: A single reactant breaks down into two or more products.
    • Example: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
  • Replacement Reaction: One element or group of elements replaces another element or group of elements in a compound.
    • Example: Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
  • Combustion Reaction: A reaction between a substance and oxygen, resulting in heat and light.
    • Example: 2CH4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

Characteristics of Chemical Reactions:

  • Chemical Change: A change in the chemical composition of the reactants.
  • Conservation of Mass: The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
  • Energy Change: Chemical reactions often involve the absorption or release of energy.

Factors Affecting Chemical Reactions:

  • Concentration: The amount of reactants present can affect the rate of reaction.
  • Temperature: An increase in temperature can increase the rate of reaction.
  • Pressure: An increase in pressure can increase the rate of reaction.
  • Catalysts: Substances that speed up chemical reactions without being consumed.

Chemical Reaction Equations:

  • Reactants: Written on the left side of the equation.
  • Products: Written on the right side of the equation.
  • Arrow: Indicates the direction of the reaction.
  • Coefficients: Numbers in front of formulas to balance the equation.
