1
Chemical Reactions A process in which one or more substances are converted into new substances with different physical and chemical properties. The compounds on the left are ________________________ The compounds on the right are _________________________
2
Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions are represented by _________________________. – using words to describe the chemical reaction Ex: calcium + oxygen calcium oxide _________________________ – using symbols to represent the reaction Ex: Ca + O 2 CaO
3
Balancing Equations Due to the conservation of matter and energy laws the number of atoms in the reactants must equal the number of atoms in the products. This is called _____________________________ This is a trial and error method. You ___________________ change the subscripts to balance equations You must use ____________ to balance equations. See pages 285-287 in your text.
4
Types of chemical reactions There are four types of chemical reactions: 1 2 3 4
5
Synthesis Reaction These are also called _____________________________ Two or more reactants come together to form a ______________ product. The general equation is: A + B AB Ex: 2 Na + Cl 2 2 NaCl Ex: CO 2 + H 2 O H 2 CO 3
6
Decomposition Reaction A ______________ compound is broken down into two or more smaller compounds or elements. General equation: AB A + B Ex: 2 H 2 O 2 H 2 + O 2 Ex: Ca(CO 3 ) CaO + CO 2
7
Single Replacement Reaction An uncombined element displaces an element that is part of a compound. General equation: A + BX AX + B Ex: Mg + Cu(SO 4 ) Mg(SO 4 ) + Cu Whether one element will displace another depends on it reactivity. Activity Series – pg 295
8
Single Replacement Reaction Figure 9-19, pg 295 A metal can replace anything below it, but nothing above it. Just because you can write and balance the equation does not mean the reaction will take place. You must follow the activity series. A metal will displace a metal or hydrogen, and a nonmetal will displace a nonmetal.
9
Double Replacement Reaction Atoms or ions in two different compounds replace each other. General equation: AX + BY AY + BX Ex: Ca(CO 3 ) + 2 HCl CaCl 2 + H 2 (CO 3 )
