1
Q

What happens during a chemical reaction?

A

Old bonds break and new bonds are produced

Atoms exchange electrons with each other during chemical reactions, which can involve new configurations of atoms.

Q

In an acid-base chemical reaction, what happens?

A

Both the acid and base mixed will neutralise.

Neutralisation reactions produce H2O and asalt.

Q

How do you write chemical reactions?

A

Reactants -> Products

E.g.
Photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide + water -> (light) oxygen + glucose

Chemical formula:
CO2 + H2O ->(light) C6H1206

Q

Define photosynthesis

A

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

Plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.

16
Q

Define exothermic reaction

A

A chemical reaction in which it releases/produces energy by light or heat

17
Q

Define endothermic reaction

A

chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products

18
Q

Define law of conservation of energy

A

matter and energy can neither be destroyed nor created, only transformed or transferred.

19
Q

Balance this chemical equation:
P4O10 + H2O → H3PO4

A

P4O10 + 6 H2O → 4 H3PO4

20
Q

Balance:
CO2 + H2O → C6H12O6 + O2

A

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

21
Q

Balance:
SiCl4 + H2O → H4SiO4 + HCl

A

SiCl4 + 4H2O → H4SiO4 + 4HCl

22
Q

Is photosynthesis exothermic or endothermic? And why?

A

Endothermic since sunlight energy is absorbed during the process of photosynthesis.

23
Q

What is the balanced equation of photosynthesis?

A

6CO2 + 6H2O -> (sunlight) C6H12O6 + 6O2

24
Q

How to write worded formula of photosynthesis?

A

Carbon dioxide + water -> (sunlight) glucose + oxygen

25

26
Q

What kind of respiration did we focus on?

A

Aerobic respiration
Process in which organisms use fuel such as fats and sugars into chemical energy

27
Q

What is the balanced chemical formula of respiration?

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

28
Q

How to write worded formula of respiration?
