combine
• N2 +2O2 > 2 NO2
Classification of Chemical
Reactions
• Decomposition: A
reactant breaks
down into simpler
products (reverse
of synthesis)
• Water can be
decomposed into
hydrogen and
oxygen
• 2 H2O > 2H2 +O2 www.blewbury.co.uk
Classification of
Chemical Reactions
• Combustion: One reactant is
always oxygen and another
reactant often contains carbon
and hydrogen
• Burning of methane
• CH4 + 2O2 > CO2 +2H2O

The Rates of Chemical
Reactions can vary
• Concentration: measures the number of
particles present in a certain volume.
• Law of conservation
of mass: states that
in a chemical
reaction atoms are
neither created nor
destroyed. (Antoine
Lavoisier)

Exothermic Reactions
• Exothermic
reaction: energy
is released and
temp goes
up…more energy
is released
when products
are formed.
• Space shuttle on
take off: white
clouds of water
vapor are
formed www.sanchezcircuit.com

Life and Industry depend
on Chemical Reactions
• Living things require chemical reactions
• Respiration: living things get energy from
glucose by respiration. (combustion of glucose)
• Photosynthesis
• 6CO2 +6H2O + energy> C6H12O6 +6O2
• Respiration
• C6H12O6 +6O2 > 6CO2 +6H2O + energy
