17
Q

Describe g

A

A reactant or product in the gaseous state

18
Q

Describe the law of conservation of mass

A

No detectable gain or loss in mass which occurs in chemical reactions

19
Q

State what the law of conservation of mass details regarding chemical equations

A

The total mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of the product

20
Q

State the 3 types of chemical reactions

A
  1. precipitation
  2. acid-base
  3. combustion
21
Q

Describe when precipitation occurs

A

When ions in solution combine to form a new compound of low solubility in water

22
Q

Describe precipitate

A

Low solubility compound forms a solid particle that eventually settles

23
Q

State what kind of reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to form a salt or water

A

Neutralisation reaction

24
Q

Describe neutralisation reaction

A

Reaction between an acid and base

25
Q

Describe the overall structure of neutralisation reactions

A

acid + base -> salt + water

26
Q

Describe the overall structure of acid-metal reactions

A

acid + metal -> salt + hydrogen

27
Q

Describe the overall structure of acid-metal carbonate reactions

A

acid + metal carbonate -> salt + water + carbon dioxide

28
Q

Describe the overall structure of acid-metal oxide reactions

A

acid + metal oxide -> salt + water

29
Q

Describe the overall structure of acid-metal hydroxide reactions

A

acid + metal hydroxide -> salt + water

30
Q

Describe indicator

A

31
Q

State for what reason an indicator may be used

A

Detect a neutralisation reaction

32
Q

Describe combustion reaction

A

The addition of oxygen to a reactant, often producing heat

33
Q

State in what supply hydrocarbons burn in

A

Plentiful supplies of oxygen

34
Q

State what kind of products are produced in combustion reactions

A

Carbon dioxide and water

35
Q

Describe the overall structure of combustion reactions

A

hydrocarbon + plentiful oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water

36
Q

Describe the overall structure of combustion reactions in a limited supply of oxygen

A

hydrocarbon + limited oxygen -> carbon monoxide + water

37
Q

Describe the overall structure of acid-metal hydrogen carbonate

A

acid + metal hydrogen carbonate -> salt + carbon dioxide + water

38
Q

Describe the overall structure of a reaction in which heat is applied to metal carbonate
