Chemical Reactions

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
activation energy   what is needed to start a chemical reaction  
🗑
arrow   read as yields in a chemical formula  
🗑
characteristics of a chemical reaction   changes in energy or properties  
🗑
proof of chemical reaction   gas produced (bubbles); color change; precipitate forms; temperature change; odor  
🗑
chemical equations   shorter, easier way to show chemical reactions by using symbols instead of words  
🗑
coefficient   number placed in front of a chemical formula in an equation. Tells how many atoms or molecules of each reactant and product take part in the reaction  
🗑
conservation of mass   the amount of matter involved in a chemical reaction does not change. The total mass of the reactants must equal the total moss of the products  
🗑
controlling rates of reaction   concentration; temperature; surface area; catalysts, enzymes and inhibitors  
🗑
concentration   amount of one material in a given amount of another material  
🗑
temperature   higher heat causes faster reaction  
🗑
surface area   increased surface area leads to increased reaction  
🗑
catalysts   materials that increases the rate of reaction  
🗑
enzymes   biological catalysts  
🗑
inhibitors   decreases the rate of a reaction  
🗑
decomposition reaction   a compound breaks down into simpler substances  
🗑
endothermic reaction   a reaction that takes heat from the solution, absorbs energy, makes it feel cooler  
🗑
exothermic reaction   a reaction that releases heat; gives off energy, makes it feel warmer  
🗑
physical changes   alter only the physical properties of matter; no new substances formed  
🗑
chemical changes   alter the chemical properties of matter; new substances with new properties are formed  
🗑
proof of physical change   change in size, shape, color, or phase of matter  
🗑
precipitate   a solid that forms from solution during a chemical reaction  
🗑
products   the materials you have after a chemical reaction; written on the right side of the formula  
🗑
reactants   the materials you have at the beginning of a chemical reaction; written on the left side of the formula  
🗑
replacement reaction   one part of a compound is displaced by an element or compound from another substance  
🗑
states of matter   solid, liquid or gas  
🗑
subscripts   show the number of atoms of an element in a molecule or the ratio of elements in a compound  
🗑
synthesis reaction   two substances combine to form a new compound  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
