Document Summary

Chemical reactions can be described by terms which emphasise features that are similar amongst groups of reactions e. g precipitation, gas evolution, acid-base redox, ect. Some of these terms are broadly based on observations e. g reactions in solution where a solid is observed to form are called precipitation reactions. A given chemical reaction may be correctly described by more than one of these terms - they are not mutually exclusive. Acid base reactions most often involve a transfer of h+; redox reactions involve transfer of electrons. Acid-base and redox reactions are very common in living organisms. Many biochemicas are acids, bases or both and the reactions which supply energy in biological systems are often redox reactions. Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, ions or molecules where are acid base reactions involve proton transfer) Many chemical reactions can be written as a combination of two half reactions which explicitely show the electron transfer.
