Apologia Chemistry M 6B: Changes in Matter and Chemical reactions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical equations form | the basis for most of the work done in chemistry. |
| reactants | substances on the left side of a chemical equation; they REACT together |
| products | atoms/molecules on the right side of a chemical equation; the substances PRODUCED by the reaction |
| An unbalanced chemical equation | will result in NOT all products being made or in LEFTOVER atoms (or both). |
| The COEFFICIENTS in a chemical equation tell us | how many of each molecule we are dealing with. |
| The SUBSCRIPTS in a chemical equation are | a part of the molecule's chemical formula. |
| An equation is balanced if the # of each type of atom on the REACTANTS side of the equation | equals the # of that type of atom on the PRODUCTS side of the equation. |
| You alter the number of molecules involved in an equation by CHANGING the _________________ that appear to the left of each molecule. | coefficients |
| When balancing equations, you CANNOT change | the numbers that appear in the SUBSCRIPTS. |
| When balancing equations, START with atoms that | appear in only 1 molecule on each side of the equation. |
| You absolutely must be able to | balance chemical equations before you can continue to Module 7! |
