Chemistry AP3 Flashcards
what ways is energy transferred to the surroundings in a combustion reaction
heat and light
what is made in the complete combustion of a fuel like methane
carbon dioxide and water
name of a chemical reaction where a compound breaks down on heating
thermal decomposition
type of reaction that transfers energy to the surroundings
exothermic
name the type of reaction that transfers energy from the surroundings
endothermic
what is a chemical bond
a force that holds atoms together
what is a catalyst
something that speeds up a chemical reaction but remains unchanged at the end
which are corrosive - acids or alkalis
both
what element do all acids contain
hydrogen
what is a base
a substance that neutralises an acid
what is an alkali
a base that dissolves in water
what do all alkalis contain
hydroxide group or oh
acid + metal =
salt + hydrogen
acid + alkali =
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate =
salt + water + carbon dioxide
