Question 17

A common type of chemical reaction involves the transfer of electrons from one element to another.
•When iron rusts, methane and wood burn, and a battery generates electricity, one element gains electrons and another loses them.

Answer 17

Reduction-Oxidation Reactio

Question 18

generates a small electrical impulse that triggers the heart to beat.

Answer 18

peacemaker

Question 19

A reaction that can be made to go in either direction.

Answer 19

reversible reaction

Question 21

When a stress is applied to a chemical system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium shifts in the direction to relieve the applied stress.

Answer 21

LE CHATELIER’S PRINCIPLE

Question 22

Each of these processes can be written as individual reactions, called _____, to emphasize which electrons are gained and lost.

Answer 22

half reactions

Question 23

three types of stress that can be applied to a chemical equilibrium

Answer 23

’ sense when the heart beats normally and provide an electrical signal only
when the heart rate slows.

Answer 24

peacemaker

Question 25

Such devices are called “demand” pacemakers, and they quickly
replaced earlier “fixed” rate models that continuously produced impulses to set the heart rate
at a fixed value.
