Question
Answer
The process by which one or more substances are changed into one or more different substances.   Chemical reaction  
🗑
In any chemical reaction, the original substances are known as   Reactants  
🗑
In any chemcial reaction, the resulting substances are known as   products  
🗑
The total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products for any given chemical reactions   The law of conservation of mass  
🗑
Represents with symbols and formulas the identities and relative molecular or molar amounts of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction.   Chemical Equation  
🗑
Changes which usually indicate that a chemical reaction has occurred.   1. Evolution of energy as heat and light 2. Production of a gas 3. Formation of a precipitate 4. Color change  
🗑
True or False: Heat or light by itself is not necessarily a sign of a chemical change because many physical changes also involve either heat or light   True  
🗑
A solid that is produced as a result of a chemical reaction in solution and that separates from teh solution   precipitate  
🗑
What aides you in writing and reading chemical equations correctly   1. The equation must represent known facts. 2. The equation must contain the correct formulas for the reactants and products. 3. The law of conservation of mass must be satisfied.  
🗑
A small whole number that appears in front of a formula in a chemical equation.   coefficient  
🗑
Placing a coefficient in front of a formula specifies   The relative number of moles of the substance  
🗑
if no coefficiet is written, the coefficient is assumed to be   1  
🗑
An equation in which the reactants and products in a chemical reaction are represented by words   Word Equation  
🗑
The first steps in writing in a chemical equation is   Identify the facts to be represented  
🗑
A word equation has only what type of meaning   Qualitative (descriptive)  
🗑
In a word equation the arrow is read as   react to yield or yield (also produce or form  
🗑
Represents the reactants and products of a chemical reaction by their symbols or formulas.   Formula equation  
🗑
In a formula equation the g in parentheses after each formula indicates   The corresponding substnce is in the gaseous state  
🗑
The relative amounts of reactants and products represented in the equation must be adjusted so that the numbers and types of atoms are the same on both sides of the equation is called   Balancing the equation  
🗑
To balance the equation, beagin by   Counting atoms of elements that are combined with atoms of other elements and that appear only once on each side of the equation  
🗑
Changing the subscripts of a chemical formula changes the   identity of the compound  
🗑
An arrow pointing up indicates   Gaseous product  
🗑
A downward arrow is often used   To show the formation of a Precipitate during a reaction in solution  
🗑
Indicates the reactants must be heated   The word heat symbolized by a Greek capital delta  
🗑
A substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction but can be recovered unchanged   Catalyst  
🗑
A chemical reaction in which the products re-form the orignal reactants.   Reversible reaction  
🗑
Writing two arrows pointing in opposite directions   Reversible reaction  
🗑
A (s) in parenthesis is used to indicate   a reactant or product in a solid state; also used to indicate a precipitate  
🗑
A (l) indicates   A reactant or product in a liquid state  
🗑
A (aq) indicates   A reactant or product in an aqueous solution (dissolved in water)  
🗑
An Arrow with 2 atm above it indicates   Preassure at which reaction is carried out in this case 2 atm  
🗑
An arrow with the word pressure written above it indicates   Preasure at which reaction is carried out exceeds normal atmospheric pressure  
🗑
An arrow with 0 degrees C above it indicates   Teh temperature at which reaction is carried out in this case 0 degrees C  
🗑
An arrow with MnO2 above it indicates   Formula of catalyst, in this case manganese dioxide, used to alter teh rate of the reaction  
🗑
Write word & balanced chemcial equations for Solid calcium reacts with solid sulfur to produce solid calcium sulfide   Calcium + sulfur --> calcium sulfide; 8Ca(s) + Sg(s) --> 8CaS(s)  
🗑
Write word & balanced chemical equations for Hydrogen gas reacts with fluorine gas to produce hydrogen fluoride gas   Hydrogen + Floride --> hydrogen fluoride; H2 (g) + F2(g) --> 2HF(g)  
🗑
Write word & balanced chemical equations for Solid aluminum metal reacts with aqueous zine chloride to produce solid zinc metal and aqueous aluminum chloride   Aluminum + zinc chloride --> zinc + aluminum chloride; 2Al(s)+3ZnCl2(aq)-->3Zn(s)+2AlCl3(aq)  
🗑
The arrow in a balanced chemical equation is like an   Equal sign  
🗑
Significance of chemical equation: The coefficients of a chemical reaction indicate relative, not absolute   amounts of reactants and products  
🗑
Significance of chemical equation: The relative masses of teh reactants and products of a chemical reaction can be determined from   The reaction's coefficients  
🗑
Significance of chemical equation: The reverse reaction for a chemical equation has the same   relative amounts of substances as the forward reaction  
🗑
Step 1 to balancing chemcical equations   Idedntify the names of the reactants & the products and write a word equation.  
🗑
Step 2 to balancing chemical equations   Write a formula equation by substituting correct formulas for the names fo the reactants adn te products  
🗑
Step 3 to balancing chemical equations   Balance the formula equation according to the law of conservation of mass  
🗑
Step 4 to balancing chemical equations   Count atoms to be sure that the equation is balanced  
🗑
Write the word, formula, and balanced chemical equation for Solid magnesium and aqueous hydrochloric acid react to produce aqueous magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas   Magnesium cloride + hydrochloric acid -->magnesium chloride + hydrogen; Mg(s) + HCl(aq) -->MgCl2(aq) + H2(g); Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq)-->MgCl2(aq)+H2(g)  
🗑
write the word, formula and balanced chemical equation for Aqueous nitrick acid reacts with solid magnesium hydroxide to produce aqueous magnesium nitrate and water   Nitric acid + magnesium hydrogen -->magnesium nitrate + water; HNO3(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s)--> Mg(NO3)2(aq)+H2O(l); 2HNO3(aq)+Mg(OH)2(s)--> Mg(NO3)2(ag) + 2H2O(l)  
🗑
