Study Notes
Chemical Equations and Reactions
- A chemical equation is a written representation of a chemical reaction, using chemical formulas and symbols.
- Chemical reactions involve a change in the chemical composition of substances, resulting in new substances with different properties.
- Chemical reactions can be represented in two ways: word equations and chemical equations.
Word Equations
- A word equation is a written representation of a chemical reaction, using words to describe the reactants and products.
- Example: Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form water.
Chemical Equations
- A chemical equation is a written representation of a chemical reaction, using chemical formulas and symbols.
- Chemical equations follow the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction.
- Chemical equations use the following symbols: -, →, ( ), and numbers in front of formulas (coefficients) to indicate the number of molecules of each reactant or product.
Physical and Chemical Changes
- A physical change is a change in the state or appearance of a substance, but not its chemical composition.
- Examples of physical changes: melting, boiling, freezing, condensation.
- A chemical change is a change in the chemical composition of a substance, resulting in new substances with different properties.
- Examples of chemical changes: burning, rusting, decomposition.
Balancing Chemical Equations
- A balanced chemical equation has the same number of atoms of each element on both the reactant and product sides.
- To balance a chemical equation, coefficients are added in front of formulas to indicate the number of molecules of each reactant or product.
- Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
Simple Ions and Atoms
- Common ions and atoms used in chemical equations: hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), sodium (Na), iodine (I).
- These ions and atoms are used to represent simple chemical reactions and equations.
