| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the requirements for a chemical reaction? | Particles must collide, they must collide with enough energy, and they must collide with proper orientation. |
| What are the factors of a chemical reaction? | Activation energy, temperature, particle size, surface area, and particle contact (stirring). |
| What is a catalyst? | This is a substance that speeds up the reaction but is not consumed in the reaction. |
| What is an endothermic reaction? | Requires energy to be put into the system. |
| What is an exothermic reaction? | Releases energy as a product. |
| What is a reactant? | The starting substance in a reaction. |
| What is a chemical reaction? | A process by which one or more substances are changed into one or more different substances. |
| What is a product? | The end result of a reaction. |
| What is the law of conservation of mass? | Mass is neither created or destroyed in chemical reactions. |
| What are the 5 types of chemical reactions? | Synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double replacement, combustion. |
| What is a synthesis reaction? | When two or more simple compounds join to form a more complicated one. |
| What is a double replacement? | Cations of two ionic compounds switch places. |
| What is single replacement? | When one element trades places with an element in an ionic compound. |
| What is decomposition? | When a complex molecule breaks apart to form two or more less complicated molecules. |
| What is combustion? | Oxygen reacts with another compound to form carbon dioxide, water, and heat. |
