Chemistry: Reactions And Equations Flashcards
Neutralizing reactions
Provide 3 examples of neutralization with hydroxide
HCl+ NaOH= H2O+NaCl
H2SO4+Ba(OH)2=2H2O+BaSO4
H3PO4+3KOH=3H2O+K3PO4
Neutralization reactions
Can carbonate also neutralize?
Yes Acids can also be neutralized
Neutralization reaction
How many steps is in neutralization with carbonate?
This is a two step process
Neutralization reaction
What happens in the first step? Provide an example.
In the first step a double displacement reaction occurs between the acid and the carbonate to form carbonic acid and a salt.
Acid+carbonate=carbonic acid+ salt
Combustion reactions
When does an incomplete combustion occur?
This occurs when there is not enough oxygen available for complete combustion
Combustion reactions
Are hydrocarbons part of complete or incomplete combustion?
Incomplete
Combustion reaction
What is one side effect of hydrocarbon fuels?
The combustion of hydrocarbon fuels contributes tones of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which is suspected of contributing to climate change and is known to acidity the oceans
Combustion reactions
Write the word, skeleton and chemical equation of the combustion of a hydrocarbon of butane used in butone lighter?
Butane+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water
Skeleton: C4H10O2=Co2+H2O
Chemical: 2C4H10+13O2=8CO2+10H2O
Combustion reactions
How can the combustion of a hydrocarbon generally be represented as?
Hydrocarbon+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water vapour.
Combustion reactions
Are hydrocarbons used today?
They are the most important fuels used today.
Combustion reactions
What are the hydrocarbon fuels?
Are compounds that are made only from the elements hydrogen and carbon and are found in oils, coal and natural gas.
Combustion reactions
What is the general word equation for combustions?
Fuel+oxygen=oxides of the fuel
Combustion reactions
What is a combustion reaction?
Combustion is a very rapid reaction of a substance known as the fuel with oxygen
Combustion reactions
How are chemical reactions classified?
Bases on different categories based on patterns in the reactants and products
Chemical equations
Write a word and chemical equations representing the reaction between sodium and chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride
Sodium+chlorine gas=sodium chloride
2Na+Cl2=2NaCl
Chemical equations
Is a chemical equations and a skeleton equation the same thing?
Yes a chemical equation is just a balanced skeleton equations
Chemical equations
Can you balance an equation by changing the chemical formula?
NEVER EVER
Chemical equations
How do you balance a chemical equation?
To balance an equation we add a whole number coefficient in from of the chemical formula.
Chemical equations
Do the number of atoms of each element need to be the same on both sides
Yes both sides must be equal for example
2H2+O2=2H2O
Chemical equations
Why is the law of conservation of mass relevant?
This is because in a chemical reaction, atoms can be neither created or destroyed.
Chemical equations
What is the law of conservation of mass?
Is a rule that states in any chemical reaction, the mass of the products must be equal to the mass of the reactants
