Chapter 11 Chemical Reactions
2
Note Taking Tips! Paraphrase, paraphrase, paraphrase!
Use symbols, arrows, pictures, and abbreviations whenever possible. Write side notes to help you remember concepts.
3
Chemical Reactions Occur every minute of every day!
When one or more reactants change into one or more products.
4
Fe + O2 Fe2O3 Chemical reactions are described by chemical equations.
Skeleton Equation: chem equation that doesn’t indicate relative amounts of reactants and products. Chemical Equation: describe chemical reactions. Fe + O2 Fe2O3 Reactants Products It needs to be balanced!!!
5
Draw this one
6
Catalyst: a substance that speeds up the reaction but is not used up in a reaction.
Neither a reactant nor a product Written above arrow in chem equation. MnO2 H2O2(aq) H20(l) + O2(g)
7
Balancing Chemical Equations
A chemical reaction where each side of the equation has the same number of atoms of each element and mass is conserved. Fe + O2 > Fe2O3
8
Steps to Balancing 1. Count atoms on each side. Count polyatomic ion as one unit if it appears unchanged on right. 2. Balance elements one at a time using coefficients Balance elements that appear only once 1st Never change subscripts 3. Check work and make sure all coefficients are in lowest possible ratio. H O2 > H2O

11.2 Types of Chemical Reactions
5 general types Combination Decomposition Single-replacement Double-replacement Combustion
17
Combination A reaction in which two reactants combine to form one product. R+S RS Example: Rust 4 Fe + 3 O Fe2O3 Reaction of elements with oxygen and sulfur Reactions of metals with Halogens Synthesis Reactions with Oxides There are others not covered here!
18
Decomposition Reaction in which one compound breaks down (or decomposes) to form two or more simpler products. RS R+S Example: Decomposing Aluminum Oxide to make Aluminum and Oxygen 2 Al2O3 4 Al2 + 3 O2
19
Decomposition continued
Decomposition of: Binary compounds H2O(l ) 2H2(g) + O2(g) Metal carbonates CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g) Metal hydroxides Ca(OH)2(s) CaO(s) + H2O(g) Metal chlorates KClO3(s) 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) Oxyacids H2CO3(aq) CO2(g) + H2O(l )
20
Single-Replacement An element reacts with a compound to form a new compound and release a different element. T+RS TS+R Example: Pure silicon for computer chips. SiCl4 + 2H2 Si + 4 HCl Metals by another metal Hydrogen in water by a metal Hydrogen in an acid by a metal Halogens by more active halogens
21
The Activity Series of Metals
Lithium Potassium Calcium Sodium Magnesium Aluminum Zinc Chromium Iron Nickel Lead Hydrogen Bismuth Copper Mercury Silver Platinum Gold Metals can replace other metals provided that they are above the metal that they are trying to replace Metals above hydrogen can replace hydrogen in acids. Metals from sodium upward can replace hydrogen in water
22
Double-Replacement The ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds. R+S- + T+U- R+ + U- + T+S- Example: One of the compounds formed is usually a precipitate, an insoluble gas that bubbles out of solution, or a molecular compound, usually water.
23
Combustion A substance combines with oxygen, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. Example: Reactive elements combine with oxygen. The burning of natural gas, wood, gasoline P4(s) + 5O2(g) P4O10(s) (This is also a synthesis reaction) C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)
24
How to identify the type of reaction
Does your reaction have oxygen as one of it's reactants and carbon dioxide and water as products? If yes, then it's a combustion reaction. Does your reaction have two (or more) chemicals combining to form one chemical? If yes, then it's a synthesis reaction. Does your reaction have one large molecule falling apart to make several small ones? If yes, then it's a decomposition reaction. Does your reaction have any molecules that contain only 1 element? If yes, then it's a single displacement reaction. If you haven't answered "yes" to any of the questions above, then you've got a double displacement reaction.
