Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- A chemical reaction involves the rearrangement of atoms and the formation of new substances with different properties.
- In a chemical reaction, atoms of the reacting substances break existing bonds and form new bonds, resulting in the creation of new molecules and compounds.
- The force holding atoms together in a molecule of a compound is the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus of one atom and the negatively charged electrons of another atom.
- Physical changes are NOT characteristics of a chemical reaction. These include changes in state, size, or shape.
- During a chemical reaction, bonds between atoms are broken and new bonds are formed, leading to the formation of new products.
- A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
- A negative catalyst, also known as an inhibitor, slows down a chemical reaction.
- The reaction of hydrogen sulfide gas with chlorine gas produces sulfur and hydrochloric acid as products.
- Light can initiate, accelerate, or modify certain chemical reactions by providing the necessary energy for bond breaking or formation.
- Iron is commonly used as a positive catalyst in the production of ammonia.
- Heating lead nitrate results in the formation of lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen as products.
