Study Notes
Types of Reactions
- Synthesis reactions combine elements or simpler compounds to form a new compound.
- Decomposition reactions involve a compound breaking down into its constituent elements.
- Single replacement reactions occur when one element replaces another in a compound.
- Double replacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between two compounds.
- Combustion reactions involve a compound reacting with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water.
Reaction Formulas
- Synthesis: element + element → compound
- Decomposition: compound → element + element
- Single replacement: element + compound → element + compound
- Double replacement: compound + compound → compound + compound
- Combustion: compound + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
Chemical Change Indicators
- Color change can signify a chemical reaction.
- New odors may indicate the formation of different substances.
- Emission of light often accompanies chemical reactions.
- Formation of gas or solid is a sign of a reaction taking place.
- Heat release or absorption is evidence of a chemical change.
Balancing Chemical Equations
- Antoine Lavoisier was the first to balance chemical equations, establishing the conservation of mass.
- Coefficients in a chemical equation denote the number of molecules or compounds involved.
- Subscripts indicate the number of atoms of each element in a compound.
Catalysts and Energy
- A catalyst accelerates a reaction without being consumed in the process.
- The principle of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Symbols in Reactions
- "g" represents gas, "l" represents liquid, and "s" represents solid states of matter.
- Energy symbols above an arrow indicate the requirement of energy in decomposition reactions.
- A triangle above an arrow symbolizes heat, while "hv" indicates light energy.
- "shck" signifies mechanical energy and "elec" refers to electrical energy.
- "pt" above the arrow represents the presence of a catalyst, and "aq" denotes substances dissolved in water.
