Chemical Reactions
Understanding Chemical ReactionsA chemical reaction occurs when:
•A change in energy occurs• Exothermic –gives off energy• Endothermic – absorbs energy
•The color changes•A new gas is created•A precipitate, gas or water is formed from 2 solutions

Subscript Physical state
Symbols- used to specify properties of reactants and products or conditions of the reaction (know table 11.1, page 323)
Word Equations
• CuSO4(aq) + Ag(s) Ag2SO4(aq) + Cu(s)
• “aqueous copper (II) sulfate and solid silver react to produce aqueous silver sulfate and solid copper.”
Balancing EquationsWhy?•Law of Conservation of Mass (LCM)- mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions (Antione Lavosier, 1700’s
•Coefficients- added so reactions obey the LCM (DON’T touch subscripts!!)
Procedure for Balancing
• Write formulas for reactants and product on respective sides of the equation
• Perform initial “atom inventory” on each side of the equation
• Add coefficients to make inventories match • Update and repeat as needed• Verify answer

Types of Reactions
1. Combustion2. Synthesis3. Decomposition4. Single replacement5. Double replacement
Combustion• Reaction with oxygen that releases energy (heat or light)• Hydrocarbons (contain only C and H)
• Complete combustion always produces CO2(g) and H2O(g)
• Note: incomplete combustion may result in C(s) or CO(g)
Complete Combustion (Bunsen Flame) CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Incomplete Combustion (Luminous Flame) CH4(g) + O2(g) C(g) + 2H2O(g)
Combustion Examples
• Complete combustion of propane (C3H8)
• Combustion of aluminum
Synthesis (or Combination) • Two or more substances combine to form a “larger”
compound. • Group 1A & 2A metals- use common charges to
predict ionic compound formed
• Transition metals or 2 nonmetals- many products are possible
Synthesis Examples• Synthesis of barium chloride
• Combination of copper and sulfur
Decomposition• More complex molecule breaks down into simpler
substances
• Binary compounds- decompose into constituent elements
• Ternary or more complex compounds- decompose
into either constituent elements or into a combination of compounds
Decomposition Examples• Decomposition of sulfur trioxide gas
• Decomposition of ammonium nitrate to produce dinitrogen monoxide and water
Decomposition vsDissociation
• Decomposition- atoms with NEW properties are created
• Dissociation- ions without new properties are created
Single Replacement
• Possible reaction between an element and an aqueous compound
• Metals ONLY replace metals and nonmetals ONLY replace nonmetals
• Activity series used to predict whether replacement will occur
S.R. Examples• Lithium is combined with calcium nitrate
• Silver is placed into a solution of magnesium carbonate
• Chlorine gas is bubbled through a solution of aluminum bromide
Double Replacement
• Possible exchange of partners by two compounds
• Opposites attract- two positive ions WILL NOT combine (two negative ions won’t either)
• Solubility Rules used to predict if double replacement will occur (a precipitate, a gas, or water must be a product)
D.R. Examples• Solutions of magnesium nitrate and aluminum
phosphate are mixed
• Solutions of sodium chloride and aluminum nitrate are mixed
Net Ionic Equations• Eliminate spectator ions• Solutions of sodium chloride and silver nitrate
are mixed
Double Replacement to Form Water• Acids and bases react in a double replacement
reaction and produce water• Acid- produces H+ ions, pH < 7• Base- produces OH- ions, pH > 7
• Neutralization- producing neutral water (pH = 7)
Neutralization Examples
• Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are mixed
• Sulfuric acid and calcium hydroxide are mixed
