Chemical Reactions
Chemical reaction   a chemical change bonds of  reactants  are broken and  bonds of  product  are formed reactants   products (yield or make)
when some chemicals come into contact with each other, they break apart, join, or rearrange to form new chemicals ( always  to become more stable)
Evidence of Chemical Rxn change in color (unexpected) change in temperature  change in smell  change in taste  formation of a precipitate (appears cloudy) production of a gas (bubbles) production of heat, light, sound
Chemical equations   shorthand representations of chemical reactions H 2   +  O 2   H 2 O ( skeleton equation )
Parts of a chemical equation . . . Reactants  the elements or compounds that enter into a reaction Products  are the elements or compounds that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction Arrow   means yields, produces or forms reactants  products   yield
Formula Equation 2   H 2  (g)  +  O 2  (g)    2  H 2 O (l) includes  states of matter   (s) – solid (l) – liquid (g) – gas (aq) – aqueous chemical equation  must be balanced
Word equation   hydrogen gas and oxygen gas form liquid water 2   H 2  (g)  +  O 2  (g)    2  H 2 O (l)
Types of Chemical Reactions Synthesis Decomposition Double Replacement Single Replacement Combustion
1.  Synthesis A  +  B  AB two or more substances react to form a single product example : 2   H 2  (g)  +  O 2  (g)    2  H 2 O (l)
2.  Decomposition   AB    A  +  B a single compound breaks down into two or more substance example :   2  H 2 O (l)     2   H 2  (g)  +  O 2  (g)
3.  Single Replacement A  +  BC   AC  +  B the atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element in a compound example : Zn (s)  +  Cu(NO 3 ) 2  (aq) Zn(NO 3 ) 2  (aq)  +  Cu (s)
4.  Double Replacement AB  +  CD   AD  +  CB metal cations exchange position between  two  compounds (dissolved in water) example : AgNO 3 (aq)  +  NaCl (aq)  AgCl (aq)  +  NaNO 3 (aq)
5.  Combustion reactant(s)  +  O 2   product(s) oxygen combines with a substance and releases energy (heat & light) example : CH 4  (g)  +  2  O 2  (g)  CO 2  (g)  +  2  H 2 O (l)
What is the purpose of balancing chemical equations? The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction.  Therefore, when writing a chemical equation, the reactants must be equal to the products.  So you must add any necessary coefficients to show that matter is conserved.
METAL ACTIVITY SERIES During a Single Replacement reaction, a metal will not always replace another metal.  This is because metals differ in their reactivities. MOST ACTIVE Fr Li Rb K Ca Na Mg Zn Fe Ni Sn Pb Cu Ag Pt Au LEAST ACTIVE
For example :  Francium (Fr) is the most active metal on the table.  It will replace (or kick out) any other metal.  NOTE :  it’s the highest on the Activity Series list. So in the reaction below, the Fr metal with replace the Fe in the iron (II) chloride, resulting in pure iron metal as a product.  2  Fr  +  FeCl 2  2  FrCl  +  Fe
A Metal Activity Series helps you determine  if  a reaction will occur. Au  +  FeCl 2   no reaction  *  gold is one of the least active metals, so it will  not  be able to replace (kick out) the iron metal, and the reaction will  not  take place.
2  Al  +  3  FeCl 2 2  AlCl 3   +  3  Fe *  Al is more reactive than iron, so it  will  replace (kick out) the iron metal, and the reaction will take place.
