Chemistry test #2 Flashcards
What is a weak acid/base and what is a strong acid/base
weak acid : Ph 4-6 (close to neutral)
Strong acid : PH 0-4 (far from neutral)
Weak Base : PH 7-10 (close to neutral)
Strong Base : PH 11-14 (far from neutral)
what does it mean if a substance is neutral
It has a PH value of 7
What is a chemical reaction
Process that changes chemicals starting materials (reactants) into something new (products)
What are reactants
Your starting materiel is a chemical reaction
what are products
your ending materiel in a chemical reaction
What is Synthesis
Combining element and or compounds in a larger compound
what is Decomposition
A type of reaction that would break down a compound into elements
What is double displacement
Elements of different compounds displace each other by changing places
What is Single Displacement
One element Displaces or replace another from a compound
What is neutralization
Reaction between an acid and a base, Type of double displacement
What is a Diatomic Molecule
Kind of molecule made of 2 bonded atoms of the same element
What does exothermic mean
When temperature increases, The reaction produces heat
What does endothermic mean
When temperature decreases, the reaction requires energy
What is a chemical change
Changed the kind of particle presented
e.g. burning paper turns in to ash and smoke
What is GHS
Globally Harmonized Symbols
symbols found on dangerous products used at work
What is HHPS
Hazardous House Product Symbols
Symbols found on dangerous substances found at home
Balancing Strategies
- Balence metal elements
- balance non-metal elements (not H and O)
- Balance H and O
- Double check
Some elements can’t be a single atoms
H, O,F,Br,I,N,Cl
