Chapter 8 Flashcards
A chemical change resulting from a collision between atoms or molecules
A chemical reaction
The original substances tha under go the reactions are
Reactants
The new substance produced by the reaction are the
Products
An expression that uses chemical symbols is called an
chemical Equation
Arrow means
Yield
Indicates how many molecules or founula units of that substance are involved in the substance
efficient
The study of the relationship between chemical reactions and the laws of thermodynamics
Chemical thermodynamics
A chemical reaction that releases thermal energy is
Exothermic reaction
Chemical reactions that cause energy to be observed and stored
Endothermic reaction
Able to occur by itself without continuing outside help
Spontaneous
The area of chemistry that addresses the rates of chemicals reactions
Chemical kinetics
The kinetic energy required for molecules to chemically react is called
Activation energy
A substance that alters the rate of a chemicla reaction without being perminantely ccanged
Catalysts
