Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Chemical Equations
Represents Chemical Reaction
What are the two parts to a chemical equation?
Reactants and products
Example of chemical equation
A+B=C A=B+C A+B=C+D
Diatomic molecules
Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2, F2
Single Replacement
Element and compound reacting to form a different element and compound
Example of Single replacement
Lithium + Zinc Acetate
Rule for reaction on replacements
No reaction if first element is less reactive than element it is replacing
In a replacement reaction, water becomes
Hydrogen Hydroxide
In a replacement reaction, acid becomes
hydrogen ________ate
Double Replacement
Two compounds react to form two new compounds
Naturalization reaction
Reaction between acid and base
Combustion
any reaction w/ Oxygen
Decomposition
when a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances
