This is a review over chapter 11 in the Person Chemistry textbook
Question | Answer |
---|---|
How does one read the arrow in a chemical equation? | Yields, gives, or reacts to produce |
Chemical equation | A representation of a chemical reaction; the formulas of the reactants are connected by an arrow with the formulas of the products. |
Skeleton equation | A chemical equation that does not indicate the relative amounts of the reactants and products. |
Catalyst | a substance that speeds up the reaction but is not used up in the reaction. |
Coefficients | Small whole numbers that are placed in front of the formulas in an equation in order to balance it. |
balanced equation | A chemical reaction in which each side of the equation has the same number of atoms of each element and mass is conserved. |
Combination reaction | A chemical change in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance. R + S ➡RS |
Example of combination reaction: | 2Mg + O_2 ➡2MgO(s) |
Decomposition reaction | A chemical change in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. RS ➡R + S |
Example of a decomposition reaction: | 2HgO(s) ➡2Na(s) + 3N_2(g) |
Single-replacement reaction | a chemical change in which one element takes the place of a second element in a compound T + RS ➡ TS +R |
Example of a Single-replacement reaction: | 2k(s) +2H_2O(l) ➡ 2KOH(aq) +H_2(g) |
Activity series | A chart listing metals in order of decreasing reactivity |
Double-replacement reaction: | a chemical change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds (like the dance in Tangled) RS + TU ➡RU +TS |
For double replacement reactions to occur, one of the following must be true: | 1.One of the products is only slightly soluble and precipitates from solution; 2. One of the products is a gas; 3. One product is a molecular compound (such as water) |
Example of a Double-replacement reaction: | Na_S(aq) + Cd(NO_3)_2(aq)➡CdS(s) + 2NaNO_3 |
Combustion reaction | A chemical change in which an element or a compound reacts with oxygen often producing energy in the form of heat or light. |
Example of a Combustion reaction: | 2C_8H_18(l) +16CO_2(g) ➡16CO_2(g) +18H_2O |
Complete ionic equation | an equation that shows dissolved ionic compounds as dissociated free ions. |
Spectator ion | An ion that appears on both sides of an equation and is not directly involved in the reaction |
Net ionic equation | an equation for a reaction in solution that shows on ly those particles that are directly involved in a chemical change |
