Topics in Chemical Reaction and Equations

1

1. Chemical Reactions and Chemical Equations

  • A chemical reaction takes place when the identity and nature of the initial substance change.
  • Common signs of a chemical reaction are change in state, change in colour, evolution of a gas, and change in temperature.
  • A word equation writes reactants on the left-hand side and products on the right-hand side with an arrow between them.

2. Types of Chemical Reactions

  • Chemical reactions are classified as combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, and redox reactions.
  • A combination reaction forms a single product from two or more reactants.
  • Combination reactions are often exothermic.

3. Oxidation, Reduction, Corrosion, and Rancidity

  • Oxidation means gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
  • Reduction means loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
  • In the reaction of copper oxide with hydrogen, copper oxide is reduced and hydrogen is oxidised.
