Indicator
a way of representing a chemical reaction that always has the same format-Reactants → products
Word equation
bubbles inside a liquid.
Effervescence
another way of saying burning
Combustion
In combustion, a substance will combine with what
oxygen
When an alkane undergoes combustion, what ‘products’ are produced
it creates carbon dioxide and water
Butane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
When an acid and a base combine what happens
we get a neutralisation reaction
neutralisation reaction
Acid + alkali → Salt + water
acid and metal carbonate equation
Acid + metal carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide
