chemical reaction
occurs when two or more substances are changed into different substances
chemical equation
represents via symbols and formulas, the identities and relative molecular/molar amounts of reactants and products in a chemical equations
indications of chemical reactions
a) evolution of energy as heat/light
b) production of a gas
c) formation of a precipitate
d) color change
characteristic of chemical equations
1) equation must represent known facts
2) equation must contain correct formulas for reactants and products
c) law of conservation of mass must be satisfied - use coefficients
coefficents
a small whole number that appears in front of a formula in a chemical equation
word equation
reactants and products represented via words
formula equation
reactants and products of a chemical equation represented symbols and formulas
balanced formula equation
uses coefficients to allow conservation of mass
word equation example
iron II phosphate reacts with aluminum nitrate to produce iron II nitrate and aluminum phosphate
formula equation example
Fe3(PO4)2 + Al(NO3)3 → Fe(NO3)2 + AlPO4
balanced formula equation example
Fe3(PO4)2 + 2 Al(NO3)3 → 3 Fe(NO3)2 + 2 AlPO4

yields, produces
(s)
solid
(l)
liquid
(aq)
aqueous
(g)
gas
rules for balancing
1) identify the names of reactants and products, write equation
2) use coefficients to balance according to LoCoM
3) first balance atoms that appear only once
4) balance polyatomic ions that appear on both sides as single units
5) balance h and o atoms after everything else has been balanced
6) count to make sure everything is balanced
synthesis reaction
combination reaction, two or more substances combine to form a new compound
A + B –> AB
decomposition reaction
a single compound that undergoes a reaction that produces two or more simpler substances
AB –> A + B
single displacement reaction
replacement reaction, one element replaces a similar element in a compound
- metal replaces metal
- only higher reactivity can replace
A + BX –> AX + B
double displacement reaction
double replacement reaction, the ions of two compounds exchange places in an aqueous solution to form two new compounds
AX + BY –> AY + BX
combustion reaction
a substance combines with oxygen, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat
CxHy + O2 —> CO2 + H2O
C10H8 + 12 O2 → 10 CO2 + 4 H2O
