CHEM4 Flashcards
Catalysts
substances that speed up chemical reactions
Metal properties
Shiny, malleable, ductile, conductive, and sometimes magnetic
Corrosion
the reaction with oxygen at the surface of a metal
Rusting
The corrosion of iron
Sodium + water ->
Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
Alkali metals
Group 1 elements, which are very reactive metals
Metal + acid ->
salt + hydrogen
Effervescence
Effervescence
the production of a gas from a reaction in a liquid
Accuracy
how close a measurement is to the true value
Repeating an experiment makes it more…
Reliable
Anomalous result
A result that doesn’t fit in with the pattern of the other results in a set of data.
Calcium + nitric acid ->
Calcium nitrate + hydrogen
Lithium + hydrochloric acid ->
Lithium chloride + hyrdrogen
Pure metal
A metal that does not contain any other materials
Alloy
A metal with one or more elements added to improve it’s properties.
Melting point
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid
