Learn about chemical changes, conservation of mass, writing equations, balancing chemical reactions, classifying different reaction types, and the role of energy exchange in reactions. Discover how catalysts and inhibitors impact reaction rates.
E N D
A. Describing chemical reactions- change of one or more substances into new substances
B. Conservation of Mass- a law which states that, in a chemical reaction, matter is not created or destroyed; it stays the same
1. Antoine Lavoisier- experimented with mercury(II) oxide and heat
2. Found mass of products (liquid mercury and oxygen gas) equaled mass of reactants
C. Writing equations- a chemical equation uses chemical formulas and symbols to describe a chemical reaction and the product(s) it produces
1. Chemical formula expresses the relationship between elements in the compounds and molecules they make up
2. Coefficients- numbers which represent the number of units of each substance in a reaction
3. Knowing coefficients of chemical reactions allows chemists to use the correct amounts of reactants to predict the amounts of products
4. Subscripts- numbers which represent the number of atoms in a molecule of a particular element.
5. Symbols used to show state of reactants: (s)solid, (aq) aqueous, (g)gas, (clear) liquid. When a chemical has been dissolved in water, this is denoted by writing (aq) after the chemical name.
A. Checking for balance- law of conservation of mass requirement
1. A balanced chemical reaction- both sides of equation have the same number of atoms of each element
2. Choosing coefficients- becomes easier with practice; trial and error at first
A. Synthesis reaction- two or more substances form a new substance; A + B ---> C
-> +
B. One substance breaks down into two or more substances in a decomposition reaction AB ---> A + B The starting compound is ammonium dichromate. When heated, it begins to decompose into nitrogen gas, water vapor and powdered chromium (III) oxide. It looks like a volcano with ash being spread all over the place. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jowikn6tsyY

C. Single-displacement reaction- one element replaces another one in a compound: A + BC ---> AC + B or D + BC ---> BD + C A + BC --> AC + B
-> + +
D. A double-displacement reaction results if a precipitate, water, or a gas forms when two ionic compounds in solution are combined; AB + CD --> AD + CB AB + CD --> AD + CB
+ -> +
Combustion- O2 as a reactant and CO2 and H2O as the product MgCO3 + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2O + CO2
A. Chemical reactions involve energy exchange. Reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar.
1. Breaking chemical bonds requires energy. Dr. Pyenta melted some potassium chlorate in a test tube over a Bunsen burner in a hood. Then he dropped in a sugar cube. The result was a considerable jet of flame that burned for 30 seconds or more.
1. Exergonic reactions- energy required to break bonds is less than the energy released from new bonds; energy given off is usually light
2. Exothermic reactions- energy given off in the form of heat
1. Energonic reactions- more energy is required to break bonds than to form new ones; need energy for the reaction to occur
2. If energy needed is heat; the reaction is endothermic. vinegar & baking soda
3. A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without itself being permanently changed. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions
4. An inhibitor prevents or slows a chemical reaction or interferes with a catalyst's action
