Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- In a chemical reaction, substances transform into new substances.
- A catalyst enhances the rate of a reaction without being consumed.
Symbols in Chemical Equations
- Symbols for states of matter:
- Solid: (s)
- Liquid: (l)
- Gas: (g)
- Aqueous: (aq)
- Other symbols include:
- Catalyst: pt (over →)
- Heat applied: heat or A (over →)
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Balancing is crucial to adhere to the law of conservation of mass.
- First step: Write the correct chemical equation.
- Second step: Count total atoms of each element on both reactant and product sides; treat polyatomic ions as single units.
- Third step: Use whole number coefficients to balance equations (do not alter subscripts).
- Fourth step: Recheck to ensure all elements are balanced.
- Fifth step: Coefficients should be in the lowest possible ratio.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Five general types include:
- Combination/Synthesis: A + B → C
- Decomposition: AB → A + B (often needs energy like heat or light).
- Single-Replacement: A + BC → B + AC
- Double-Replacement: AB + CD → CB + AD (typically produces a precipitate).
- Combustion: Element or compound reacts with oxygen, producing energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
Ionic Equations
- Complete Ionic Equation: Shows dissolved ionic compounds as dissociated ions.
- Spectator Ions: Ions present on both sides of an equation, not involved in the reaction.
- Net Ionic Equation: Displays only the ions and molecules directly participating in the chemical change; must be balanced by charge and mass.
