Study Notes
Chemical Changes
- Chemical Change: A process where new substances are formed; often irreversible.
- Physical Change: Involves no new substances; generally reversible.
Types of Chemical Changes
-
Mixing: Reactions occur when two or more reactants are combined.
-
Acid Reactions:
- Acid + Metal → Salt + Hydrogen
- Acid + Base → Salt + Water
- Acid + Carbonate → Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water
-
Acid Reactions:
-
Heating: Necessary for reactions like thermal decomposition and combustion.
-
Thermal Decomposition:
- Example: Calcium Carbonate → Calcium Oxide + Carbon Dioxide
-
Combustion:
- Example: Petrol + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
-
Thermal Decomposition:
-
Exposure to Light: Reactions that occur in the presence of light.
-
Photosynthesis:
- Carbon Dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen
-
Photosynthesis:
-
Interaction with Oxygen (Oxidation):
- Rusting occurs only with iron, requiring moisture and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide.
Rusting
- Rusting formula: Iron + Water + Oxygen → Hydrated Iron(III) Oxide.
- Requires both moisture and oxygen to form rust.
- Prevention methods include painting or oiling iron to block moisture and oxygen.
Respiration
- Example reaction: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water.
- Vital for energy production in living organisms.
Electrochemistry
- Electroplating: Coating objects with a thin metal layer using electric current.
- Applications:
- Used for aesthetic coatings on trophies, jewelry, etc.
- Forms protective layers against corrosion on metal appliances.
- Enhances conductivity in electronics by using gold/silver coatings.
- Employed in medical devices for implants and surgical tools.
- Notable Achievement: Singapore's development of gold-encapsulated orchids since 1976.
Importance of Chemical Changes
- Critical in daily life for processes such as cooking, energy production, and manufacturing.
- Understanding these reactions aids in applying preventive measures against issues like corrosion and engages in innovations in technology and health.
