Chemical Reactions Five Types of Chemical Reactions: 1. Combustion 2. Synthesis 3. Decomposition 4. Single Displacement 5. Double Displacement
Evidence that a chemical reaction has taken place? • Colour / Odour Change • Formation of a gas or solid • Difficult to reverse • Release/Absorption of Energy (heat)
1. Combustion Reactions • More commonly known as burning • Easily identified (release of heat) • For combustion 3 things need to be present: • Fuel • Oxygen • Heat
Rocket Fuel: 2 H2(l) + O2(l) 2 H2O(g) + Heat • Sulphur (in gasoline): S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g) + Heat 1. Combustion Reactions
A + B AB + 2. Synthesis Reactions • combination of two or more simple substances combining to form a more complex substance.
Mg(s) + O2(g) MgO Synthesis of Magnesium Oxide 2 2
Synthesis Reactions: C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g) S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g) Other Examples
AB A + B + 3. Decomposition Reactions • Breaking down large, complex molecules or ionic compounds into smaller, simpler entities.
H2O2(l) O2(g) + H2O(l) Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide 2 2
A + BC AC + B 4. Single Displacement • reaction of an element with a compound that produces a new element and new compound.
Single Displacement of Zinc and Chlorine HCl(aq) + Zn(s) H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) 2
Chemical Reactions in Solution • SOLUTE – is a pure substance (usually lesser in quantity) that is dissolved in another pure substance called the “SOLVENT” • AQUEOUS SOLUTION – a solution in which water is the solvent (aqua – meaning water).
Solubility • Solutions are homogenous mixtures of solutes and solvents. • Solubility is the measure of how much of the solute can possibly dissolve in a known amount of solvent. If a substance has high solubility in water, it has a subscript of (aq). However, if it isn’t very soluble it will start to precipitate out and will have a (s) subscript for solid.
Use a Solubility Table • Is calcium hydroxide soluble? • Is sodium flouride soluble? • What about lead (II) Iodide?
AB + CD AD + CB 5. Double Displacement • reaction of two compounds, where the positive and negative ions in their respective compounds switch places to form two new compounds. This can only happen with ionic compounds
Double Displacement A double displacement reaction only occurs if one of the following three results are seen: • a precipitate is formed • a gas is produced • a change of pH occurs (a neutralization reaction) ** If the products are both soluble then the reaction is NR (no reaction)
Double Displacement of Lead and Potassium Pb(NO3)2(aq) + KI(aq) PbI2(s) + KNO3(aq) 2 2 Precipitate: A solid that is formed as a result of the chemical reaction of two aqueous solutions.
More Examples • FeCl3(aq) + Na2(SO4)2(aq) → ? NR – both are soluble • HCl(aq) + LiOH(aq) →? pH change – neutralization reaction, products are LiCl & H2O • 2HNO3(aq)+ K2CO3(aq)→ CO2(g)+H2O(l) + 2 KNO3(aq) gas produced – therefore double displacement
Percentage Composition Composition of Common Alloys
Percent Composition • Percentages are calculated by weight How much gold (in grams) is there in 10g sample of 18K yellow gold where the % composition is 75% Au? Answer: mass of Au = (75% / 100) x 10g = 7.5 g Therefore there is 7.5 g of pure gold in a 10g sample of 18K yellow gold.
