Digital Lesson 3.4 Flashcards
Chemical formula and chemical equation
Combination of chemical symbols and numbers to represent a substance. A chemical equation is symbols that shows the relationships between reactants and products
Exothermic and endothermic
Exothermic: energy released
Endothermic: requires energy
Law of conservation mass and energy
Law of conservation mass: mass can’t be created of destroyed
Law of conservation energy: energy can’t be created or destroyed
Chemical reaction
When atoms are rearranged and chemical bonds are broken to produce a chemical change of a substance
Precipate
Solid that forms into s solution
Endothermic and exothermic examples
Exothermic: burning, hand warmers, glow sticks
Endothermic: photosynthesis, water softener, and cold packs
How can high temps increase rate of reaction
Increase movement of particles
How can increasing the surface area increase the rate of reaction
More particles of the reactants are exposed to one another
How will increasing the concentration of reactants speed up a chemical reaction
More particles of reactants which means more collisions
Catalyst
Substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction
Coefficient
Used to balance equations; indicated the number of particles of a given substance present in a reaction
Steps in balancing an equation
Count atoms in reactants and products. Next add the coefficient in front of the chemical formulas to balance the equation
Which changed speed up a reaction
Breaking up solids, adding a catalyst
Reactant and product
Reactant is a substance that participated in a chemical reaction. A product is a substance that forms in a chemical reaction
