PS3- Final Exam
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Explain what a reactant is in a chemical equation and where it is located based on the arrow ( → ). | The reactants are on the left side of the equation. They are the ones combining or separating |
| Explain what a product is in a chemical equation and where it is located based on the arrow ( → ). | The product(s) is on the right side of the equation. It is what you get from the chemical equation. |
| In a chemical equation, what does the arrow ( → ) mean? | equals or after the chemical reaction has happened. |
| Give an example of a chemical equation and list the elements and number of atoms on each side. | Na+Cl→ NaCl Na:1 Na:1 Cl:1 Cl:1 |
| Give an example of synthesis reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | A+B→ AB you can tell this is a synthesis reaction because you are combining two things together to get a product and the plus sign is on the left of the arrow. |
| Give an example of decomposition reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | AB→ A+B You can tell that this is a decomposition reaction because you are decomposing the chemical formula, also the plus sign is on the right side of the arrow. |
| Give an example of a single replacement reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | AB+C→ AC+B you can tell that this is a single replacement reaction because after the reaction only one part of the chemical formula is replaced with another part. |
| Give an example of double displacement reaction and explain how to identify this type of reaction. | AB+CD→ AD+CB you can tell that this is double displacement because two different things are being moved(or displaced). |
