Chemical Reactions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where would you find the PRODUCTS of a chemical reaction? | to the right of the arrow (after the arrow) |
| How many carbon atoms are in one molecule of CO2? (that 2 should be subscript) | ONE |
| Exothermic reactions _______________ energy, while endothermic reactions _______________ energy. | release; absorb |
| If a solid comes out of a solution when two liquids are mixed, that is a sign that a chemical reaction has occurred. This is called a ___________________. | precipitate |
| What does a catalyst do? | it increases the rate of the reaction by bringing reactant particles together |
| Why does increasing temperature cause chemical reactions to speed up? | causes particles to move faster, causing more collisions |
| Breaking a reactant up into smaller pieces will _____________ the rate of the reaction. | speed up |
| Exothermic reactions feel __________. | hot |
| Lowering the concentration of the reactions will __________ the rate of the reaction. | slow down |
| The law of conservation of mass states that: | atoms aren't created or destroyed. The atoms present before the reaction must be present after. |
| Because of the law of conservation of mass, we must _________________ our chemical equations. | balance |
| What are two signs that a chemical reaction has occurred? | change in odor or color; precipitate; bubbles |
| EXOTHERMIC or ENDOTHERMIC: the energy graph shows an increase | ENDOTHERMIC (it absorbed energy) |
| EXOTHERMIC or ENDOTHERMIC: it gives off light | EXOTHERMIC (releasing energy) |
| EXOTHERMIC or ENDOTHERMIC: the beaker feels cold during the reaction | ENDOTHERMIC (absorbs energy from surroundings, making it feel cold) |
| TRUE or FALSE: In a chemical reaction, atoms are simply breaking bonds, rearranging, and forming new ones. | TRUE |
