| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| reaction of a substance with oxygen to form an oxide with heat and light (fire); also burning | combustion |
| the result (new substance) from a chemical reaction; product has different chemical and physical properties from the reactant(s) | product |
| the original substance in a chemical reaction; either disappears or diminishes | reactant |
| The following is an example of which type of reaction? CH3OH + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + heat | combustion |
| If a substance is completely consumed (it has a "limit") in a chemical reaction, what is that substance? | limiting reactant |
| This reaction uses all of the energy up in the reaction ("End"s the energy) | endothermic Reaction |
| energy required for a chemical reaction to begin (It becomes "active" | activation energy |
| the written expression of what takes place in a chemical reaction; reactants and products are identified by their chemical formulas in chemical equations | chemical equation |
| a chemical interaction that causes changes in the chemical composition of the substances involved | chemical reaction |
| in a chemical equation, the numeral in front of a molecule´s symbol, which indicates the number of molecules of a substance involved in the reaction | coefficient |
| when a chemical combination breaks up into simpler constituent parts; compounds dissociate into ions and dissociation is normally temporary and reversible in that when atoms or ions of the dissociated substance return to their original conditions, they re | dissociation |
| This reaction releases ("exits") energy | Exothermic Reaction |
| These conduct electric currents in solutions | Electrolytes |
| the number of atoms in the products equal the number of atoms of each element in the reactants | Balanced Equation |
| This reaction occurs without being started by an outside source | Spontaneous Reaction |
| This can disolve more things than any other substance | Water |
