    Study Notes

    Observations of Chemical Reactions

    • Energy can be released during a reaction in forms such as heat and light.
    • The production of gas is a common indication of a chemical reaction.
    • Formation of a precipitate signals a transformation in the solution.
    • A noticeable color change often accompanies a chemical reaction.

    Requirements for Chemical Equations

    • Must accurately represent known facts regarding the reaction.
    • Correct formulas for all reactants and products are necessary.
    • Must adhere to the law of conservation of mass.

    Writing Chemical Equations

    • A word equation expresses reactants and products in descriptive terms.
    • Example: Sodium oxide + Water ⎯→ Sodium hydroxide.
    • A formula equation uses chemical symbols, e.g., Na2O(s) + H2O(l) ⎯→ 2NaOH(aq).

    Types of Reactions

    • Synthesis Reactions: Include reactions with oxygen/sulfur, metal and halogen combinations, and oxides.
    • Decomposition Reactions: Types involve binary compounds, metal carbonates, hydroxides, chlorates, and acids.
    • Single-Replacement Reactions: Involve a metal displacing another metal, hydrogen replacement in water or acids, and halogen substitutions.
    • Double-Replacement Reactions: Result in products such as precipitates, gases, or water.

    Activity Series Significance

    • Elements higher on an activity series can replace those below them in reactions.
    • This series helps predict the occurrence of single-replacement reactions based on the activity level of elements.

    Definitions of Reaction Types

    • Combustion Reaction: Substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy as light and heat.
    • Decomposition Reaction: A single compound breaks down into simpler substances.
    • Displacement Reaction: One element replaces a similar element in a compound.
    • Double-Replacement Reaction: Ions from two compounds exchange positions to form new compounds.
    • Electrolysis: Decomposition caused by passing an electric current through a substance.
    • Precipitate: A solid formed from a solution during a chemical reaction.
    • Reversible Reaction: Reactants can reform from products in chemical reactions.

    Balancing Chemical Equations

    • Coefficients can be adjusted to achieve balance in a chemical equation.
    • A balanced equation has the same number of each type of atom on both sides.

    Specific Reaction Types

    • Synthesis Example: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) ⎯→ 2MgO(s).
    • Single-Replacement Example: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ⎯→ H2(g) + MgCl2(aq).
    • Decomposition Example: 2HgO(s) ⎯→ 2Hg(l) + O2(g).
    • Double-Replacement Example: Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq) ⎯→ PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq).

    Metal and Halogen Reactions

    • Metal carbonates decompose into metal oxides and carbon dioxide upon heating.
    • Active metals react with halogens to form salts; the most active halogen can be determined.

    Predictive Outcomes of Reactions

    • Lead reacts with nitric acid producing hydrogen gas.
    • Elements in an activity series can replace those below them, influencing reaction outcomes and product formation.
