Chemical Reactions In chemistry, a reaction occurs when two or more substances interact and something happens.
KEY POINTS • A chemical change must occur as it is the result of a chemical reaction. • A reaction could include ions, molecules, or pure atoms (elements).
Energy of Chemical Reactions • Endothermic • Exothermic
Endothermic • Energy – absorbed • Required for reaction • Absorbed energy - often heat or electrical energy.
Exothermic • Energy - released • Released energy - originally stored in bonds of reactants • Often heat given off causes product(s) to feel hot. • Reactions involving combustion or burning are exothermic chemical reaction.
REACTION TYPES • SYNTHESIS (Combination) • DECOMPOSITION • SINGLE REPLACEMENT (Displacement) • DOUBLE REPLACEMENT (Double Displacement) • COMBUSTION
Synthesis • Two or more reactants yielding one product is a way to identify a synthesis reaction. • Generic Example: A + B AB H2 + O H2O
Synthesis Example • Simple hydrogen gas combined with simple oxygen gas can produce a more complex substance --- water! S + O2 SO2 reactant + reactant -------> product
Decomposition • A more complex substance (reactant) breaks down into its more simple parts (products). AB A + B • Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites. • catalyst – a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected.
Decomposition Example • Water can be broken down into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. 2H2O 2H2 + O2reactant -------> product + product
Single Replacement • In a single replacement reaction a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound. Two reactants yield two products. A + BC AC + B Mg + 2AgNO3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2Ag
Single Replacement Example • When zinc combines with hydrochloric acid, the zinc replaces hydrogen. Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2reactant + reactant ------> product + product Demonstration Time!
Double Replacement • In a double replacement reaction parts of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. Two reactants yield two products. AB + CD AD + CB precipitate - to separate (a substance) in solid form from a solution, as by means of a chemical reaction.
Double Replacement Example • When silver nitrate combines with sodium chloride, two new compounds are formed --silver chloride and sodium nitrate -- because the sodium and silver switched places. AgNO3 + NaClAgCl + NaNO3
Combustion • Combustion reactions always involve molecular oxygen O2. • Anytime anything burns (in the usual sense), it is a combustion reaction. • Combustion reactions are almost always exothermic (i.e., they give off heat).
