3.1 Flashcards
Exothermic
Energy is being released from reaction
Endothermic
Energy is being absorbed for the reaction to take place
Corrosion
chemical reactions that form other compounds from metals
Green verdigris
forms when copper corrodes by reacting with gases in the air
Tarnish
Forms when pure silver reacts with sulfur to form black coating
Rust
Forms when iron is exposed to oxygen and water (an oxidation reaction)
Combustion
occurs whenever something reacts with oxygen gas, burning or exploding
Oxidation
when an element reacts with oxygen (e.g. combustion)
Hydro Carbons
Mixture of highly combustible chemicals
Complete combustion
reactions that need an unlimited supply of oxygen
Incomplete combustion
when oxygen supply is restricted in some way, other reactions occur instead
