Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- A chemical reaction is a process where the arrangement of atoms is changed, converting reactants into products.
- Reactants are the starting materials, and products are the chemicals produced by the reaction.
- Chemical reactions are represented by an arrow (→) with reactants on the left and products on the right.
Reactants and Products
- Reactants are the ingredients or starting materials of a chemical reaction.
- Products are the result of a chemical reaction, what comes out of the reaction.
- A good analogy for a chemical reaction is baking a cake, where the ingredients are the reactants, and the cake is the product.
Examples of Chemical Reactions
- Na + Cl → NaCl (sodium and chlorine react to form table salt)
- 2H2O → 2H2 + O2 (water breaks down into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas)
- C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (cellular respiration reaction)
What Happens to Atoms after a Chemical Change?
- Atoms are not altered by a chemical reaction, but their arrangement is changed.
- The total number of atoms remains the same before and after a chemical reaction.
- The types and numbers of atoms on both sides of the chemical reaction equation do not change.
Signs of a Chemical Reaction
- A change in color
- A change in temperature
- A gas being produced (e.g. bubbles forming)
- A solid being produced (most often a precipitate)
