Definition | Term |
---|---|
A substance that enters into a chemical reaction . Always on the left side of the arrow. | reactant |
A substance that is produced by a chemical reaction. Always on the right side of the arrow. | product |
Expression in which symbols, formulas, and numbers are used to represent a chemical reaction. | chemical equation |
The observation that mass remains constant in a chemical reaction. | law of conservation of mass |
Two or more simple substances combine to form a new complex substance. | synthesis reaction |
A complex substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances. | decomposition reaction |
An uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compound. | single replacement reaction |
Different atoms in two different compounds replace each other. | double replacement reaction |
A chemical reaction in which energy is released. | exothermic |
A chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed. | endothermic |
Energy required to start a reaction. | activation energy |
The study of reaction rates. | kinetics |
Measure of how quickly reactants turn in products. | reaction rate |
Relates collisions among particles to reaction rate. Reaction rate depends on such factors as concentration, surface area, temperature, and catalysts. | collision theory |
Refers to how much of the material is exposed | surface area |
Increases the rate of a reaction, but does not change itself. | catalyst |
The number placed in front of the symbol or formula in a chemical equation that indicates the number of atoms or molecules involved in the reaction. This is used to balance an equation. | coefficient |
Number placed in the lower right of the chemical symbol to indicate the number of atoms of the element in the compound. | subscript |
Combining of atoms and electrons to form new substances. This happens when electrons are gained, lost, or shared. | chemical Bond |
Process in which substances undergo physical and chemical changes that result in a new substance with different properties. | chemical reaction |
Gas that reignites | oxygen |
Gas that makes a popping noise when a flame is held near it | hydrogen |
Range of the ph scale | 0-14 |
Neutral number on the ph scale | 7 |
0-6 on the ph scale | acid |
8-14 on the ph scale | base |
Range when phenolphthalein turns pink | 8-10 |
Variable in Ammonium Nitrate lab | NaCl |
Example of an indicator we have used | phenolphthalein |
Example of an acid we used | hydrochloric |
Example of a base we used | sodium hydroxide |
If red litmus paper turns blue, then the solution is a | base |
