| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Overview | A change in composition. At least a new product formed. atoms are rearranged |
| Law of conservation | Mass cannot be created or destroyed; it is rearranged |
| Word/ Chemical Equation | Reactant (left) > products (right) |
| Balancing Equations | The number of atoms of each element must be equal on both sides of the equation |
| Rules for Balancing Equations | 1.Determine the formula for reactants and products. 2.Write formulas for reactants on left and products on the right 3. "take inventory "of each element of reactants and products. Balance elements one at a time using coefficient |
| Coefficient | Whole number in front of formula the subscripts can't be changed. |
| States of matter | (s)=solid (l)=liquid (g)=gas (aq)= aqueous= dissolved in water |
