CHEM TEST 2 Flashcards
what is a physical change
a change that does not create a new substance. e.g ice to water
what is a chemical change
when a new substance with a diffrent formula is created. e.g burning anything
what does (aq) mean
aqueous meaning dissloved in water
what is the diffrence between an exothermic and endothermic reaction
Exothermic means that it produces heat, endothermic means that it sucks in heat
what is combustion and its general form
combustion is any reaction where a substance burns in oxygen to produce light and heat.
fuel+oxygen - carbon dioxide+water
respiration , and its general form
a chemical reaction that goes into cells of all living things
glucose+oxygen gas - carbon dioxide+water
corrosion, general form
When metals combine with oxygen gas in the air to from metal oxides
metal+oxygen gas - metal oxide
decomposition, general form
when a single reactant breaks apart to form several products
XY - X+Y
combination, general form
when to reactants combine to form a single product
X+Y - XY
percipitation, general form
when 2 clear sloutions are mixed together they react to form an insoluable solid
salt (aq) + salt (aq) - solid+ salt (aq)
neutralisation, general form
when an acid reacts with a base
acid+base - salt + water
acid and metal, general form
when acids react with metals
acid+metal - salt+hydrogen gas
MASH
acid & carbonate, general form
when acids react with carbonates
acid+carbonate - salt+water+carbon dioxide
CWA
define solid, what happens when temp is increased
particles are close together vibrating. as temp increases particle speed and energy increases until melting point is reached and the bonds break to form a liquid
define liquid, what happens when temp is increased
particels that are close togther but moving over each other. as temp increases so does spped and energy until bonds break and a gas is formed
