QuestionAnswer
What does it mean for a chemical equation to be balanced? Same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.
Law of Conservation of Matter Matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
What is a skeleton equation? An unbalanced chemical equation.
What can you change to balance an equation? Coefficients ONLY (never subscripts).
(aq) Aqueous (dissolved in water)
What does “+” mean in a chemical equation? Reacts with
What does “→” mean? Produces / yields
The 7 diatomic elements H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂
When do elements exist as diatomic molecules? When they are one of the 7 diatomic elements.
Synthesis reaction definition Two or more substances combine to form one compound. A + B → AB
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃ Example of synthesis
Decomposition reaction definition One compound breaks into simpler substances. AB → A + B
2H₂O₂ → O₂ + 2H₂O Example of decomposition
Single replacement definition One element replaces another in a compound. AB + C → AC + B
2HCl + Mg → H₂ + MgCl₂ Example of single replacement
What table is used to see if single replacement occurs? Activity Series (Table J)
Double replacement definition Two compounds exchange ions AB + CD → AC + BD
What usually forms in double replacement reactions? A precipitate, water, or gas.
Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2HCl → 2HNO₃ + PbCl₂ Example of double replacement
Combustion of a hydrocarbon always produces… CO₂ and H₂O
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O Example of hydrocarbon combustion
Simple combustion definition A metal reacts with oxygen to form a metal oxide. Metal + O₂ → Metal Oxide
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃ Example of simple combustion
when does no reaction occur when everything is AQ
what is a net ionic and a complete ioninc a net ionic is the two things that combine to form the new thing like solid a complete ionic is eveyhting broken down but the solids
Conversion from grams to moles Divide the mass of a sample by its molar mass to obtain the number of moles
Excess reactant determination After identifying the limiting reagent, subtract the amount used from the initial quantity of the other reactant to find what remains
Percent yield A metric of experimental efficiency calculated as Actual yield / Theoretical yield X 100
Actual yield The measured amount of product obtained from an experiment
Yield discrepancy causes Differences between theoretical and actual product amounts arise from incomplete reactions, side reactions, or experimental loss
Molar volume (gas at STP) The volume occupied by one mole of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure, equal to 22.4L
Stoichiometric ratio The proportion of moles of reactants and products as indicated by the coefficients in a balanced equation
Conversion from liters of gas to moles at STP Divide the measured volume by 22.4 L/mol to calculate the amount in moles
Avogadro's number The number of particles contained in one mole, 6.022 ×10^23
Theoretical yield The maximum possible amount of product calculated from the limiting reagent and stoichiometric ratios
Precipitate The solid material that separates out of a solution because it is insoluble in water
Limiting reagent The reactant that is completely consumed first, determining the maximum amount of product formed
Molarity The concentration of a solution expressed as moles of solute per liter of solution, denoted as mol/L
Excess reagent The reactant that remains after the limiting reagent has been used up
Supernatant The clear liquid remaining above the solid after a precipitate has formed
insoluble soluble insoluble means solid soluble means (AQ)
when do you use table F When you need to make a double reaction you ned to see which one one is insoluble(solid) and soluble
1. What type of reaction is a precipitation reaction? A) Single replacement B) Combustion C) Double replacement D) Synthesis Answer: C — precipitation reactions are a subclass of double replacement
2. What is a precipitate? A) A gas that forms B) A liquid product C) A solid that forms from two solutions D) Any aqueous compound ✅ Answer: C
3. A precipitate is always: A) Soluble B) Aqueous C) Insoluble D) A gas ✅ Answer: C
6. What is the supernatant? A) The solid that forms B) The gas released C) The solution left over after a precipitate forms D) The reactant that runs out ✅ Answer: C
8. Which ions are spectator ions in the reaction above? Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2 KCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2 KNO₃(aq) A) KNO₃ A) Pb²⁺ and Cl⁻ B) K⁺ and NO₃⁻ C) Pb²⁺ and NO₃⁻ D) K⁺ and Cl⁻ ✅ Answer: B
What does conservation of mass mean in a chemical equation? The number of each type of atom must be the same on both sides of the equation.
What do coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent? Mole ratios between substances.
Do coefficients represent mass or electrons? ❌ No — only moles, not grams or electrons.
What makes a reaction a chemical change? A new substance is formed.
Why is 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂ a chemical change? Because water turns into different substances.
Is H₂O(l) → H₂O(g) chemical or physical? Physical — same substance, different state.
What does “conserved” mean in chemistry? Not created or destroyed.
What is ALWAYS conserved in chemical reactions? Mass, charge, and energy
