    Study Notes

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • Synthesis Reaction: Two or more substances combine to form a new compound.
      • Example: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
    • Decomposition Reaction: A single compound breaks down into two or more substances.
      • Example: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
    • Replacement Reaction: One element replaces another element in a compound.
      • Example: Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
    • Combustion Reaction: A substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light.
      • Example: 2CH4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
    • Neutralization Reaction: An acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water.
      • Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

    Chemical Equation

    • A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas and symbols.
    • The reactants are written on the left side of the equation, and the products are written on the right side.
    • The arrow (→) separates the reactants from the products.
    • Chemical equations can be balanced by adding coefficients in front of the reactants or products.

    Chemical Reaction Rates

    • Factors Affecting Reaction Rate:
      • Concentration: Increasing the concentration of reactants increases the reaction rate.
      • Temperature: Increasing the temperature increases the reaction rate.
      • Surface Area: Increasing the surface area of reactants increases the reaction rate.
      • Catalyst: Adding a catalyst can increase the reaction rate.
    • Reaction Rate Expression: A mathematical expression that describes the rate of a chemical reaction.

    Chemical Reaction Mechanisms

    • Elementary Reaction: A single step in a chemical reaction mechanism.
    • Reaction Intermediate: A molecule that forms during a chemical reaction but is not a reactant or product.
    • Rate-Determining Step: The slowest step in a chemical reaction mechanism, which determines the overall rate of the reaction.

    Chemical Reaction Conditions

    • Catalyst: A substance that increases the reaction rate without being consumed by the reaction.
    • Inhibitor: A substance that decreases the reaction rate.
    • Activation Energy: The minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.
    • Pressure: Increasing the pressure can increase the reaction rate.
    • Light: Certain reactions can be affected by light.

    Types of Chemical Reactions

    • A synthesis reaction involves two or more substances combining to form a new compound, e.g., 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.
    • A decomposition reaction involves a single compound breaking down into two or more substances, e.g., 2H2O → 2H2 + O2.
    • A replacement reaction involves one element replacing another element in a compound, e.g., Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu.
    • A combustion reaction involves a substance reacting with oxygen to produce heat and light, e.g., 2CH4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O.
    • A neutralization reaction involves an acid reacting with a base to form a salt and water, e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O.

    Chemical Equation

    • Chemical equations can be balanced by adding coefficients in front of the reactants or products.

    Chemical Reaction Rates

    • Factors that affect reaction rates include concentration, temperature, surface area, and catalysts.
    • Increasing concentration, temperature, and surface area can increase reaction rates.
    • Adding a catalyst can also increase the reaction rate.
    • The reaction rate expression is a mathematical description of the reaction rate.
