Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Calcium oxide (quick lime) reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) releasing heat, which is a combination reaction: CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + Heat
- A solution of slaked lime is used for whitewashing walls, and it reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form a thin layer of calcium carbonate, giving a shiny finish to the walls: Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)
Combination Reactions
- Combination reactions involve two or more substances combining to form a single product.
- Examples of combination reactions include:
- Burning of coal: C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)
- Formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
- Burning of natural gas: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Exothermic Reactions
- Exothermic reactions release heat along with the formation of products.
- Examples of exothermic reactions include:
- Burning of coal: C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)
- Burning of natural gas: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
- Respiration: C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(aq) → 6CO2(aq) + 6H2O(l) + energy
Displacement Reactions
- Displacement reactions involve one element displacing another element from a compound.
- Examples of displacement reactions include:
- Iron displacing copper from copper sulphate solution: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
- Zinc displacing copper from copper sulphate solution: Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
- Lead displacing copper from copper chloride solution: Pb(s) + CuCl2(aq) → PbCl2(aq) + Cu(s)
Double Displacement Reactions
- Double displacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between two compounds, resulting in the formation of a precipitate.
- Example: Na2SO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) → BaSO4(s) + NaCl(aq)
Corrosion and Rancidity
- Corrosion is the process of a metal being attacked by substances around it, such as moisture and acids, resulting in damage.
- Examples of corrosion include rusting of iron, tarnishing of copper and silver, and damage to car bodies and bridges.
- Rancidity is the process of oxidation of fats and oils, resulting in a change in their smell and taste.
- Antioxidants are added to foods containing fats and oils to prevent oxidation.
- Keeping food in air-tight containers helps to slow down oxidation.
