Chemical Reactions
Review of the parts of a chemical reaction
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| starting material in a chemical reaction | reactants |
| ending material in a chemical reaction | products |
| speeds up chemical reactions | catalyst |
| CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O | combustion reaction |
| AB --> A + B | decomposition reaction |
| A + B --> AB | synthesis reaction |
| AB + CD --> AD + CB | double replacement reaction |
| AB + C --> CB + A | single replacement reaction |
| numbers that are added to balance a chemical equation | coefficients |
| numbers NEVER changed to balance a chemical equation | subscripts |
| chemical equation that does not have equal # of atoms on both sides | skeleton equation |
| chemical equation that does have equal # of atoms on both sides | balanced equation |
| gas formed, transfer of energy, color change, precipitate forms | clues of chemical change |
| means yields ; shows that chemical reaction is NOT reversible | single arrow |
| Double replacement reactions happen this % of the time | 100% |
| solid made from mixing liquids | precipitate |
| means yields ; shows that chemical reaction goes in both direction | double arrows |
| happens when products and reactants are formed at same rate | equilibrium |
| law of conservation of mass | states that mass is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction |
| substances with pH range of 0 to 6 and release H+ ions | acids |
| substances with pH range of 8 to 14 and release OH- ions | bases |
| substances with pH of 7 | neutral |
| properties of acids | corrosive and sour |
| properties of bases | slippery and bitter |
| only this can completely neutralize a strong base | strong acid |
