Study Notes
Decomposition Reaction
- A decomposition reaction is a type of reaction where a single reactant breaks down to give simpler products.
- Example: Ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) decomposes to ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and sulphur trioxide (SO3) when heated.
- During decomposition, ferrous sulphate crystals (FeSO4·7H2O) lose water and change color.
- Another important decomposition reaction is the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, which is used in various industries.
Activity 1.6
- Lead nitrate powder (Pb(NO3)2) decomposes to lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and oxygen when heated.
- The decomposition produces brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide.
Activity 1.7
- Electrolysis of water using carbon electrodes and a battery produces hydrogen and oxygen gases.
- Hydrogen gas is highly flammable and can be identified by the "pop" sound it produces when a lighted match is brought near it.
Activity 1.8
- Silver chloride (AgCl) decomposes to silver and chlorine when exposed to sunlight.
- The decomposition of silver chloride is an example of a photochemical decomposition reaction.
Double Displacement Reaction
- A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction where two compounds exchange partners, resulting in the formation of two new compounds.
- Example: Sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) and barium chloride (BaCl2) react to form barium sulphate (BaSO4) and sodium chloride (NaCl).
- The reaction produces a precipitate, which is an insoluble substance formed during a reaction.
Oxidation and Reduction
- Oxidation is the process of adding oxygen to a substance, while reduction is the process of removing oxygen from a substance.
- Example: Copper (Cu) is oxidized to copper oxide (CuO) when heated in the presence of oxygen, and reduced back to copper when hydrogen gas is passed over it.
- Oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously and are known as redox reactions.
- A reducing agent undergoes oxidation, while an oxidizing agent undergoes reduction.
- Examples of redox reactions include ZnO + C → Zn + CO and MnO₂ + 4HCl → MnCl₂ + 2H₂O + Cl₂.
