Ch 11 Flashcards
chemical equation
a written EXPRESSION of REACTANTS and PRODUCTS
chemical reaction
the PHYSICAL mixing of chemicals in which a CHANGE is evident
you ____ equations and ____ reactions
do; write
subscript
smaller number part of equation
coefficient
balances equations
ALL chemical equations involve___
changing substances
word equations v. chemical equations
word have words, chemical have compounds and elements
skeleton equations only show
reactants and products
‘yield’ sign with triangle means
heat was applied
‘yield’ sign with Pt means
catalyst was applied
catalyst
speeds up reaction but not used during it (neither reactant nor product)
balanced equations
of atoms on each side is equal, mass is conserved
the activity series lists _____ in _____ reactivity
metals; decreasing
halogens can be considered their own _____
activity series; because they decrease in reactivity as you go down
double replacement reactions show a chemical change with _____
an exchange of cations
one of the following is usually true for double replacement reactions:
- one of the products is soluble, and the other forms a precipitate
- one of the products is a gas
- one of the products is a molecular compound (like water)
double replacement reactions are generally in
aqueous solutions
in COMBUSTION reactions, if not enough oxygen is present____ can be products
soot and CO gas (carbon monoxide)
hydrocarbons are important because
they are high energy fuels when burned
what does a net ionic equation show about double replacement that a molecular doesn’t?
the importance of water in separating ions
synthesis
A+B–> AB
also:
metal oxide+ H2O –> metal hydroxide
non metal oxide+ H2O—> acid
decomposition
AB–> A + B
usually REQUIRES energy
also:
metal carbonate–> metal oxide + carbon dioxide
metal chlorate—> metal chloride + oxygen
single replacement
A+BC–> AC+B
A and B are metals
A must be higher than B on activity series
- be aware that all halogens follow these same rules
double replacement
AB+CD–> AD + CB
(inner and outer)
if all are reactants are aqueous, NVR
