chapter 6 alyssa Flashcards
Product
Substance that forms a chemical reaction
Reactant
Substance or molecule that is in a chemical reaction
Chemical energy
The energy released when a chemical reacts to make new compounds
Exothermic reaction
Chemical reaction which heat is released into surroundings
Isooctane reaction
Endothermic reaction
Chemical reaction that requires heat
Hydrated barium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate together
Synthesis reaction
Reaction in which substances combine to make a new compound
Decomposition reaction
Reaction where a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances
Electrolysis
Process where electric current is used to make a chemical reaction
Combustion reaction
Oxidation reaction of a organic compound where heat is released
Single- displacement reaction
Reaction where done element takes the place of another element in a compound
Double-displacement reaction
Molecular compound forms from the apparent exchange of atoms between two compounds
Oxidation-reduction reaction
Chemical change when one species looses electrons and another gains electrons
Radical
Organic group that has one or more electrons available for bonding
Reduced
Substances that accept electrons
Oxidized
Substances that give up electrons
Chemical equation
Representation of chemical reaction that uses symbols to show the relationships between the reactants and the products
Mole ratio
Relative number of moles of the substances required to produce a given amount of product in a chemical reaction
Coefficient
Number placed in front of formula
Law of conversation of mass
Mass is not created or destroyed
Law of definite proportions
states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass
Catalyst
Substance that changes the rate of chemical reaction
Enzyme
Type of protein that speeds up reactions in plants and animals
Substrate
Element that supports another part of that element
Chemical equilibrium
State of balance where the rate of a forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction
