Chemical Reaction Equations
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Chemical reaction equations are a subject that expresses the transformations between substances in chemical reactions using symbols and formulas. This area covers reaction types (conjugation, dissociation, displacement, double displacement), balancing equations, the role of catalysts, reaction rate effects, and thermochemical equations. The TYT focuses on balancing equations and basic species, while the AYT focuses on rate laws and energy calculations. The current 2025 curriculum also emphasizes green chemistry principles and industrial reaction optimization. Learning this topic provides the foundation for the design and analysis of chemical processes.
