Chemical Reactions- Landon Hodge Flashcards
Product
The substance that is formed from a chemical reaction
Reactants
Substance that undergoes chemical reaction
Chemical energy
Energy that is let out when a chemical compound reacts
Exothermic Reaction
Reaction where heat is let out
Example- isooctane-oxygen reaction
Endothermic reaction
Reaction that needs heat
Example- putting hydrated barium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate together
Synthesis Reaction
Reaction where at least two substances come together and make a new compound
Decomposition reaction
When a compound is broken apart to at least two different substances
Electrolysis
When electricity is used to make a chemical reaction
Combustion reaction
When an organic compound undergoes and oxidation reaction and heat is released
Single displacement reaction
Reaction where one element takes the spot of another element in a compound
Double displacement reaction
Reaction where a gas solid precipitate or molecular compound are made from exchange of atoms between two compounds
Oxidation reduction reaction
A chemical change where one substance is oxidized or loses electrons and one substance is reduced or gains electrons
Radical
Element that has electrons available for bonding
Chemical equation
A chemical reaction in word format that shows how the reactants and products are related
Mole ratio
How many moles of a substance are needed to form a certain amount of product in a Chemical reaction
Oxidized
Substances that give up electrons.
Reduced
Substances that accept electrons.
Coefficient
Numbers in front of chemical formulas which tell how many of that chemical their is.
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed only transferred or transformed.
Law of Definite Proportions
A compound always has the same proportion of the same elements no matter how the compound is made or how much of the compound there is.
Catalyst
A substance that changes the how fast a chemical reaction occurs without changing dramatically.
Enzyme
A protein that makes the metabolic changes in plants or animals go faster without any permanent changes.
Substrate
A substance that lies beneath another substance and supports it.
Chemical equilibrium
When the rate of forward reaction is the same as the rate of reverse reaction and the products and reactants stay the same.
