Chemical Equation?
shorthand notation of a chemical reaction
Reactants
(starting Materials) - the substances that undergo change in the reaction
Products
Substances produced by the reaction
5 Features of a Chemical Equation?
- Identity of products and reactants must be specified using chemical symbols
- Reactants are written to the left of the reaction arrow and products are written to the right
- Physical states of reactants and products may be shown in parentheses
- Symbol ^ over the reaction arrow means that energy is necessary for the reaction to occur
Evidence of a reaction occurring?
- Release of a gas
- Formation of a solid (precipitate)
- Heat is produced or absorbed
- Color changes
Subtle indications of a reaction?
- Heat or Light is absorbed or emitted
- Changes in the way the substances behave in an electrical or magnetic field before and after reaction
- Changes in electrical properties
Patterns of chemical reactions
- combination
- decomposition
- single-replacement
- double-replacement
Types of combination Reactions
- Combination of a metal and a nonmetal to form a salt
- Combination of hydrogen and chlorine molecules to produce hydrogen chloride
- Formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen molecules
- Reaction of magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide to produce magnesium carbonate
