Study Notes

Types of Chemical Reactions

  • Reactants: Substances that exist before a chemical change occurs.
  • Products: Substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

Key Reaction Types

  • Precipitate: Results from mixing two liquids, leading to the formation of a solid.
  • Catalyst: A substance that alters the speed of a reaction (usually enzymes) without being consumed itself.

Neutralization Reactions

  • Defined as a type of double replacement where an acid reacts with a base, producing salt and water.
  • General formula: Acid + Base → Salt + Water (e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O).

Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions

  • Classify reactions based on the transfer of electrons between atoms or ions.
  • Oxidation: Defined as the loss of electrons.
  • Reduction: Defined as the gain of electrons.

Other Reaction Types

  • Combination Reaction: Occurs when two or more small molecules combine to form a larger molecule (e.g., 4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s)).
  • Decomposition Reaction: A larger molecule breaks down into smaller molecules or atoms (e.g., 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(s) + O₂(g)).
  • Single Replacement Reaction: One atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom (e.g., Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)).
  • Double Replacement Reaction: Involves two molecules that exchange parts (e.g., AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)).
