Study Notes
Introduction to Chemical Reactions
- Examples from daily life illustrate chemical reactions: spoiled milk, rusting iron, fermentation, cooking, digestion, and respiration.
- Chemical changes imply a transformation in the nature and identity of substances.
Understanding Chemical Reactions
- A chemical reaction indicates a process where substances undergo change.
- Recognizing a chemical reaction can include various signs of change.
Experimental Activities
-
Activity 1.1: Burning Magnesium
- Burn a clean magnesium ribbon (approx. 2 cm) to observe it turn into magnesium oxide.
- Magnesium burns with a bright white flame, producing a white powder (magnesium oxide).
-
Activity 1.2: Lead Nitrate and Potassium Iodide Reaction
- Mixing lead nitrate solution with potassium iodide reveals observable changes.
-
Activity 1.3: Zinc and Acid Reaction
- Add dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid to zinc granules and note changes, including temperature shifts.
Identifying Chemical Reactions
- Observations indicating chemical reactions:
- Change in state (solid, liquid, gas)
- Change in color
- Gas evolution (bubbles, fizzing)
- Change in temperature (endothermic or exothermic reactions)
Chemical Equations
- Representing reactions in simplified forms:
- Example reaction: Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium oxide.
- Reactants (magnesium and oxygen) undergo a change to form a product (magnesium oxide).
Key Terms
- Reactants: Substances that undergo change during a chemical reaction.
- Products: New substances formed as a result of the reaction.
