Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Acids and bases react to form water and a salt
Neutralization
This reaction can help control the pH of a solution
Neutralization
Reaction between acids and bases
Neutralization
In wastewater treatment, this reaction is used to reduce the damage to the environment
Neutralization
Removal of water
Dehydration
A water molecule is removed from the reacting molecule to create something new
Condensation (dehydration synthesis)
Water is added to a substance to cleave or split certain chemical bonds together form new compounds
Hydrolysis
The change in oxidation state of the atoms involved
Oxidation-reduction
Loss of electrons which results in an increase of oxidation state
Oxidation
Gain of electrons which results in a decrease of oxidation state
Reduction
A substance present in all living cells that provides energy for many metabolic processes and is involved in making RNA
ATP
