Term | Definition |
---|---|
precipitation | a process where the product of a chemical reaction comes out of solution and settles to the bottom of the container |
base | something that releases OH- into water |
reduced (reduction) | giving electrons to atoms |
endergonic | chemical reactions that absorb energy so that the products have more energy than the reactants |
metabolism | all of the chemical reactions that occur within a living cell |
kinetics | study of the rate of chemical reactions |
chemical reaction | the atoms in molecules are rearranged in different combinations |
catalyst | a substance that lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction, greatly increasing its reaction rate |
acid | something that releases H+ ions into water |
exergonic | chemical reactions that give off energy so that the products have less energy than the reactants |
oxidation (oxidize) | the removal of electrons from atoms |
spontanious | in chemistry, this means that a chemical reaction can occur with no indication as to when it will occur |
enzymes | proteins that catalyze chemical reactions |
