Law of Conservation of Mass | During a chemical reaction mass is never created or destroyed. (The atoms are only rearranged) |
stoichometry | the calculation of quantities of substances involved in chemical reactions |
Finding the number of moles | The actual mass divided by GFM (from Periodic Table) |
Synthesis reaction | Two or more substances combine to form one product |
Decomposition reaction | 1 substance breaks down into 2 or more substances |
Single Replacement reaction | When 1 atom replaces another during a chemical reaction |
Double Replacement reaction | two ions swap places in a chemical reaction. It must start with two ionic compounds and will have two ionic compounds at the end |
