Learn about chemical reactions, how to identify them, and the types involved, as well as the role of energy changes in these reactions. Discover examples and key concepts.

I. What is a chemical reaction • Chemical reaction- when substances change chemically to form a new substance • Forms new bonds between atoms • Makes new substances • example- 2 hydrogen atoms (gas) + 1 oxygen atom (gas) react to form 1 water molecule (H2O)
I. What is a Chemical Reaction? B. How do you know a reaction occurred? • A gas is produced (bubbles) • example- baking soda & vinegar • A change in color • example- iron rusting • A change in temperature a. example- a flame or cool reaction
I. What is a Chemical Reaction? C. What happens in a reaction? • Reactants react to form products • reactants- the materials that exist before the chemical reaction. • Products- substances that are created by the chemical reaction.
4 hydrogen atoms 2 oxygen atoms 4 hydrogen atoms 2 oxygen atoms I. What is a Chemical Reaction? C. What happens in a reaction? 2. Atoms are only rearranged (no new atoms are created) a. 2 H2 + O2 2 H2O
II. Energy and Reactions • Energy is needed to break chemical bonds to start a chemical reaction. example- a match is needed to light gasoline on fire (but once it’s lit, WATCH OUT!)
II. Energy and Reactions B. Energy is released when bonds form • Energy is released as heat, light, sound, or electricity. C. chemical energy- energy stored in atoms & molecules. 1. Chemical energy can be released in a reaction
II. Energy and Reactions D. Exothermic Reaction • Releases energy (gets hotter) • Exothermic reactions release more energy than they absorb.
II. Energy and Reactions E. Endothermic Reaction • Absorbs energy (gets colder) • Endothermic reactions absorb more energy than they release.
III. Five Types of Chemical Rx • Synthesis Reaction- two substances combine to form a more complex compound. a) A + B AB b) 2 Na + Cl2 2 NaCl
III. Five Types of Chemical Rx 2. Decomposition Reaction- a compound is broken down into at least two products. a. AB A + B b. 2H2O 2H2 + O2
III. Five Types of Chemical Rx 3. Combustion Reaction- a compound burns in oxygen gas (O2). a. O2 will always be a reactant in a combustion reaction. b. Anytime there is a flame, it is a combustion reaction. c. 2 Mg + O2 2 MgO
III. Five Types of Chemical Rx 4. Single Displacement Reaction- one element knocks another element out of a compound • AX + B AB + X • CaCl2 + 2Na 2NaCl + Ca
III. Five Types of Chemical Rx 5. Double Displacement Reaction- two compounds switch ions with each other. • AX + BY AY + BX • Pb(NO3)2 + K2(CrO4) Pb(CrO4) + 2K(NO3)
