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
