Question | Answer |
---|---|
Chemical Equation | Symbolic representation of a chemical reaction |
Phase State Symbols | Represent the state of matter the reactant/product is in |
Coefficient | Big number in the front (can be changed) |
Subscript | A number that is smaller and below the normal line (can't be changed) |
Gas | g |
Solid | s |
Pure Liquid | l |
Aqueous Solution | aq |
Single Displacement | 1 element displaces another in a compound (element + compound -> element + compound) |
Double Displacement | 2 elements in different compounds switch places (compound + compound -> compound + compound) |
Decomposition | Compound breaks down into 2 or more simpler substances (compound -> 2 or more elements/compounds) |
Synthesis | 2 or more substances combine to form a more complex compound (element/compound + element/compound -> compound) |
Combustion | Exothermic process that involves reaction of a substance with oxygen gas (element/compound +O2 -> oxide compound) |
Combustion w/hydrocarbons | This is a special type of combustion involving hydrocarbons (hydrocarbon + oxygen -> CO2 + H2O) |
Theoretical Yield | The amount of product calculated to be formed using stoichiometry. |
Experimental Yield | The amount of product that forms when the reaction is carried out in the lab. |
Percent Yield | Experimental Yield/Theoretical Yield x 100 (Theoretical Yield > Experimental Yield) |
Limiting Reactant | The reactant that limits how many products can be formed. |
Stoichiometry | The study of the amounts of substances involved in chemical reactions |
