Chemical Reactions Flashcards
What are some ways in which Chemical Reactions differ?
Composition of reactants and products
Thermal effect
Reversibility
The use of a catalyst
Features of the process
What are Reactions where the composition is not changed?
In these reactions, changed in structure occur but not in their qualitative compostion.
What are examples of reactions where the composition is not changed?
3O2 = 2O3
(oxygen to ozone)
What is the Reaction of Connection?
In these reactions, on complex substance if formed from several simple or complex substances
What is an example of Reaction Of Connection?
H2O + Li2O = 2LiOH
What is the Decomposition reaction?
This is where several new (complex/simple) substances are formed from 1 complex substance
What is an example of a Decomposition Reaction?
2KMnO4 = K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2
What is a Substitution reaction?
These are reactions between simple and complex substances as a result of which atoms are replaced in complex substances
What is an example of a Substitution Reaction?
Cu + 2AgNO3 = 2Ag + Cu (NO3)2
