Study Notes
Chemical Reactions Overview
- Reactants transform into products during a chemical reaction.
- The process requires reactants to undergo chemical changes.
Chemical Equation
- A chemical equation represents a reaction using formulas to convey the relationship between reactants and products.
Law of Conservation of Mass
- This law states that the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products in a chemical reaction, ensuring no mass is lost or gained.
Types of Reactions
- Synthesis Reaction: Only one product is formed from multiple reactants.
- Decomposition Reaction: Begins with one reactant that breaks down into two or more products.
- Single Replacement Reaction: Involves one element replacing another in a compound.
- Combustion Reaction: Produces heat, light, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O).
- Double Replacement Reaction: Two compounds exchange ions, typically in aqueous solutions.
Moles and Particles
- One mole of any substance contains approximately 6.02 x 10^23 particles.
- To find the number of atoms in 4.25 moles of sodium (Na), multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number: 4.25 x 6.02 x 10^23.
