Chemical Reactions Signs of Chemical Reactions A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances change to produce one or more new ones. Chemical reactions happen all around us – lighting a match, rusting of an iron bar, or the tarnishing of a silver spoon. Chemical Formulas A chemical formula uses symbols to identify the elements in a compound and the number of atoms of each kind present in a molecule. A water molecule is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen bonded to 1 atom of oxygen. A glucose molecule is made up of 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen. Chemical Equations A chemical equation uses chemical formulas and symbols to describe a chemical reaction. The starting materials in a chemical reaction are reactants. The resulting substances from a reaction are products. The reactants are always placed on the left of the arrow, and the products on the right of the arrow. Types of Chemical Reactions Synthesis Reaction In a synthesis reaction, two or more simple substances combine to form a compound. For example, hydrogen gas combines with oxygen gas to produce water! Decomposition Reaction In a decomposition reaction, a compound breaks down into its simpler parts. A decomposition reaction is the reverse of synthesis reaction. For example, water decomposes to form hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Replacement Reaction Single Replacement In a single replacement reaction, a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound. The products of such a reaction are a new compound and a different element. For example, zinc replaces the hydrogen in hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Double Replacement In a double replacement reaction, ions from two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. For example, silver nitrate reacts with sodium chloride to form two new compounds - silver chloride and sodium fluoride. water color change gas formation solid formation glucose reactants reactant + reactant ➞ product reactant ➞ product + product reactant + reactant ➞ product + product reactant + reactant ➞ product + product product A gas is formed when copper is added to nitric acid. These simple shapes combine to form a new object. The fish shape breaks down into simpler forms. NaOH, added to Phenol- phthalein solution causes a color change. NaOH
