Chemical Reactions By Matt Reeder
What is a chemical reaction? A chemical reaction is a reaction between two atoms forming a chemical bond resulting in a chemical compound.
What is a chemical equation? A chemical equation is a way of writing out and describing a chemical reaction.
Why are chemical equations used? Chemical equations are used to simplify and express the specific reactants and product of a chemical reaction.
Should chemical equations be balanced? YES! The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. All elements that are a part of the left side of the equation must appear, in some form, on the left side of the equation.
The arrow in a chemical equation The arrow in a chemical equation represents the action, or reaction taking place forming the chemical bond. 2H2 + O2 H2O
SYNTHESIS REACTION • A type of reaction where two or more atoms join to form a more complex compound. • Reactant + reactant product • 2H2+02H2O
DECOMPOSITION REACTION • Opposite of a Synthesis reaction. • One reactant compound separates resulting in two or more products. • Reactant Product + Product • 2H2O2 2H2 + O2
SINGLE REPLACEMENT REACTION • A reaction involving more than two elements in which one element takes the place of another one. • Reactant + reactant product + product • Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2
Double Displacement • Two compounds react to form two new compounds. • reactant + reactant Product + product • AgNO3 + NaClAgCl + NaNO3
