    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions Overview

    • Reactants are transformed into products during a chemical reaction.
    • Properties of products differ from those of reactants.

    Indicators of Chemical Change

    • Change in color or odor can signal a reaction.
    • Formation of a precipitate indicates that a solid has formed from a solution.
    • Production of gas is a common sign of a chemical change.
    • Changes in energy, such as temperature increase or decrease, may occur.

    Chemical Equations

    • Chemical equations represent chemical reactions.
    • Can be expressed in word form (e.g., hydrogen + oxygen → water) or with chemical symbols (e.g., H2 + O2 → H2O).
    • A skeleton equation is an unbalanced representation of a reaction.

    Law of Conservation of Mass

    • Mass of reactants equals mass of products; the number of each atom must be the same on both sides of the equation.

    Catalysts

    • Catalysts speed up chemical reactions without being consumed; enzymes are biological catalysts.

    Balancing Chemical Reactions

    • To balance equations, count atoms on both sides and adjust coefficients, not subscripts.
    • Coefficients are small whole numbers placed before formulas to ensure equal atom numbers.

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Combination/Synthesis: Two or more reactants form one product (e.g., 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O).
    • Decomposition: A single compound breaks into simpler substances (e.g., 2 HI → H2 + I2).
    • Single Replacement: An element replaces another in a compound (e.g., Zn + Cu(NO3)2 → Cu + Zn(NO3)2).
    • Double Replacement: Exchange of ions between two ionic compounds in solution (e.g., CaBr2 + 2 AgNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2 AgBr).
    • Combustion: A reaction that involves oxygen, producing CO2 and H2O from hydrocarbons (e.g., CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O).

    Solubility in Reactions

    • For double replacement reactions, one product must be insoluble, a gas, or water to proceed.
    • Soluble substances are denoted as (aq) and insoluble as (s).

    Predicting Reaction Products

    • Carry over subscripts only from polyatomic ions when predicting products.
    • Recognizing types of reactions helps in predicting their products.

    Symbols in Chemical Equations

    • Liquid, solid, and gas states are represented as (l), (s), and (g) respectively.
    • Δ above the yield sign indicates that heat is supplied in the reaction.

    Fundamental Concepts

    • Atoms are conserved in chemical reactions; they are not destroyed.
    • A skeleton equation can be balanced under certain conditions.
    • The activity series is crucial for predicting outcomes of single replacement reactions.

    Examination Statements

    • Balancing equations requires coefficients; never modify subscripts as it alters substance identity.
    • True statements include that combustion reactions require oxygen and that the products of hydrocarbon combustion are CO2 and H2O.
    • The activity series assists in predicting whether single-replacement reactions will occur.
