| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| starting material in a chemical reaction | reactants |
| ending material in a chemical reaction | products |
| speed up chemical reaction in non-living things | catalyst |
| speed up chemical reaction in living organisms | enzyme |
| means 2 atoms | diatomic |
| coefficient | whole numbers added to balance a chemical equation |
| subscript | small numbers NEVER changed to balance a chemical equation |
| chemical equation that does not equal numbers of atoms ; unbalanced | skeleton equation |
| states that mass is never created or destroyed, so #reactants = #products | law of conservation of mass |
| P and As | tetratomic elements |
| H, N, O, F, Cl , Br, I | diatomic elements |
| S | octatomic element |
| "list" that includes F as most reactive anion | halogen |
| "list" that includes Li as most reaction cation | activity series of metals |
| numbers NEVER EVER changed to balance equation ; gives starting number of atoms | subscripts |
| numbers placed in front of atoms and compounds to balance equation | coefficients |
