Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- A chemical reaction involves the transformation of one or more substances into different substances.
- Original substances are known as reactants; resulting substances are called products.
Law of Conservation of Mass
- The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products in any chemical equation.
- Atoms are neither created nor destroyed, ensuring equal numbers on both sides of the equation.
Chemical Equations
- A chemical equation uses symbols and formulas to represent the identities and amounts of reactants and products.
- Balancing equations involves using coefficients, which are whole numbers that precede formulas.
Evidence of Chemical Reactions
- Changes in identity, energy evolution (heat and light), color changes, gas production, and precipitate formation indicate a chemical reaction.
- A precipitate is a solid formed from a reaction that separates from a liquid solution.
Diatomic Elements
- Certain elements exist naturally as diatomic molecules, represented by Br I N Cl H O F.
Types of Equations
- Word equations provide a qualitative statement of reactants and products without quantitative information.
- Formula equations use chemical symbols or formulas to represent the reaction.
Reaction Direction and Temperature
- Arrow direction in equations indicates product formation or states (upward for gas, downward for precipitate).
- Reactions can occur at lower temperatures in the presence of a catalyst, which alters the reaction rate but is unchanged afterward.
Reaction Types
- Synthesis reactions combine two or more substances to form one compound.
- Decomposition reactions break down a single compound into simpler substances, often requiring energy (electricity or heat).
- Single-displacement reactions involve one element replacing a similar element in a compound, while double-displacement reactions have two compounds exchanging ions.
Combustion Reactions
- A combustion reaction combines a substance with oxygen, releasing significant energy, producing carbon dioxide and water.
- The activity series ranks elements by their reactivity; more active elements can displace less active ones in reactions.
Aqueous Solutions
- Many single-displacement interactions occur in aqueous solutions, where spectator ions remain unchanged during reactions.
Confirming Reactions
- Experimentation is essential to determine if a chemical reaction will occur and under what conditions.
