Question
Answer
Chemical reactions take place when?   Bonds between atoms in one compound break and the atoms reform bonds with different atoms from another compound  
🗑
John Dalton's atomic theory states what?   chemical reactions do not create nor destroy matter, they only rearrange bonds between atoms  
🗑
Word equations do what?   spell out the elements, they don't use symbols  
🗑
To add more information to the equation you can do what?   You can indicate the physical states of substances by putting a symbol after each formula  
🗑
Where is a catalyst's formula written in a chemical equation?   above the arrow in a chemical equation  
🗑
A catalyst is neither what?   a reactant nor product  
🗑
An unbalanced equation does not indicate what?   the quantity of the reactants needed to make the product  
🗑
The law of conservation explains what?   a part of Dalton's atomic theory  
🗑
When a simple binary compound breaks down you know what?   that the products must be the constituent elements  
🗑
It is usually what to predict the product of decomposition reactions?   difficult  
🗑
How can you identify a single-replacement reaction?   Noting both the reactants and the products consist of an element and a compound.  
🗑
Whether a metal will displace another metal from a compound depends on what?   The relative re activities of the two metals  
🗑
Double replacement reactions are also called what?   Double-displacement reactions  
🗑
Double replacement reactions usually take place in what?   in aqueous solutions and often produce a precipitate, a gas, or a molecular compound like water.  
🗑
For a double replacement reaction to occur, one of the following must be true:   One of the products is only slightly soluble and precipitates from solution, one of the products is a gas, one product is a molecular such as water  
🗑
A combustion reaction always involves what as a reactant?   oxygen  
🗑
The other reactant of a combustion reaction is what?   hydro-carbon  
🗑
What can be products of combustion reactions?   Elemental carbon ( soot) and toxic carbon monoxide gas  
🗑
Combustion equations can also be classified as what?   Combination reactions  
🗑
What are the products of most combustion reactions?   Carbon dioxide and water  
🗑
Combination reaction general equation   R+S arrow RS  
🗑
General equation Decomposition Reaction   RS arrow R+S  
🗑
General equation Single replacement reaction   T+RS arrow TS+R  
🗑
What must happen for a single replacement reaction?   the element that is displaced must be less active then the element that is doing the displacing  
🗑
Double-replacement reaction equation   R+S- +T+U- arrow R+U- +T+S-  
🗑
What does a net ionic equation show?   only those particles involved in the reaction and is balanced with respect to both mass and charge  
🗑
How can you predict the formation of a precipitate in a double-replacement reaction?   By using the general rules for solubility of ionic compounds, you can predict the formation of a precipitate  
🗑
Aqueous solution take place in what?   water  
🗑
A spectator ion can be though of as what?   only watching a reaction, not participating  
🗑
Of the five types of reactant which ones can be written as net ionic equations?   single- and double replacement reactions  
🗑
A precipitate forms when which aqueous solutions are mixed?   sulfate (Na2SO4) and barium nitrate (Ba(N03))  
🗑
A reaction may fit equally well into what two categories?   combination reaction/synthesis reaction  
🗑
In all combination reactions, the product is usually what?   a single substance  
🗑
What is the opposite of a combination reaction?   decomposition reactions  
🗑
Decomposition reactions involve only what?   one reactant and two or more products  
🗑
The products of decomposition reactions can be what?   any combination of elements and compounds  
🗑
