Nature of Chemical Reactions. 5.1. Chemical Reactions. When substances undergo chemical changes, they form new substances. Atoms are rearranged, because bonds are broken and reformed. Chemical Reactions. Signs are: evolution of heat and light color change gases emitted

Chemical Reactions • When substances undergo chemical changes, they form new substances. • Atoms are rearranged, because bonds are broken and reformed
Chemical Reactions • Signs are: • evolution of heat and light • color change • gases emitted • a precipitate (solid) forms
Chemical Equations • Reactants substances that will undergo a chemical change. (Left side)
Chemical Equations • Products substances that are formed as a result of a chemical change. (Right side)
Examples • water + mix+ eggs→ cake • 6CO2 + 6H2O→ C6H12O6 +6O2 Reactants Products
Energy and Reactions • Every reaction needs energy to get things started. • This energy is needed to break the chemical bonds of the reactants.
Energy and Reactions • Usually comes in the form of heat, electricity, sound or light.
Chemical Energy • Energy stored within an atom and is released when a substance reacts. • Stored energy is known as Potential Activation Energy
No reaction takes place Reaction takes place
Endothermic reaction • Reaction where heat energy is absorbed. • Surroundings get colder • chemical energy of products greater than reactants
Examples • Ice pack placed on your skin • Photosynthesis • NH4NO3 reacting with water becomes very cold
Exothermic Reaction • Reaction where heat energy is released • surrounding get hotter • Chemical energy of reactants greater than products reactants
Examples • Match being lit • Firecracker exploding • NaOH reacting with water will get hotter.
Reaction Types 5.2
Synthesis Reaction • A reaction when two substances form at least one new, more complex compound.
Synthesis Reaction • two or more reactants = one product
Synthesis Reaction • EXAMPLE: A + B A B 2Fe + O22FeO
Decomposition Reaction • A reaction in which one compound breaks into at least two products. • Reactant decomposes into parts
Decomposition Reaction • one reactant = two or more products
Decomposition Reaction EXAMPLE: ABA + B 2 NI3N2 + 3I2
Combustion reaction • Reaction in which a compound and oxygen burn. • Oxygen (O2) always is a reactant
Combustion reaction • CO or CO2 will always be a product • H2O will always be a product
Combustion reaction C2H50H + 3O2 2CO2 + 3H2O
A reaction in which atoms of one element take the place of atoms of another compound. Single displacement Reaction
Example X A + B B A + X 3CuCl2 + 2Al 2AlCl3 + 3Cu Single displacement Reaction
Double Replacement Reaction • A reaction in which the apparent exchange of ions between two compounds.
Double replacement reaction AX + BY AY + BX Pb(NO3)2+K2(CrO4) → Pb(CrO4)+2K(NO3)
Balancing • All equations must have the same type and number of atoms on each side of the equation. • Law of Conservation of Mass • Tells you the amounts
Rule to Balancing • Can only change coefficients and never subscripts. • Always balance H and O last if water is in the equation. • Balance the polyatomic ions first if present
Mole Ratios • Coefficients show the amount of moles of each substance. • Mole ratio is the smallest relative number of moles of the substance involved in a reaction. • 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O = 2:1:2
Rates of Change 5.4
What is a Rate? • The speed at which it takes something to occur. • It is not a time!!!!! • m/s, mi/hr, potato/min
Factors Affecting RXN Rates • Temperature • Surface Area • Concentration • Catalysts
Temperature • Higher the temperature the faster the reaction. • Higher temperature causes particles to move faster.
Surface Area • The amount of particles that are exposed. • The greater the surface area the faster the reaction. • Breaking things into pieces increases thesurface area.
Concentration • The more concentrated the solution the faster the reaction will be. • More concentrated = less diluted.
More concentrated Which has a higher concentration of reactants?
Catalyst • A substance that changes the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed.
Catalyst • Catalysts speed up reactions. (enzymes) • Inhibitors slow down reactions (preservatives)
