Final exam Flashcards
Define energy
Property transferred to a body or a system in the form of heat and light, recognizable in the ability to do work.
Define heat flow
Warm - movement increases
Cold - decrease in movement
Define specific heat capacity
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat (q) required to raise the temperature of one gram of the substance by one degree Celsius
Who discovered radioactivity on a rainy day in Paris?
Henri Bacquerel
Which type of radiation is most penetrating?
Gamma rays
Synthesis reaction (combination)
Reactants are two elements or two simple compounds.
Decomposition reaction
Only 1 reactant
Combustion reaction
Reactants are oxygen and a hydrocarbon.
Products are CO2 and H2O
Double replacement (Metathesis)
Reactants are two iconic compounds
Strong acid + Strong Base -> Salt + water
Acid + carbonate -> salt + water + CO2
Single replacement
Reactants are an element and a compound (other than a hydrocarbon)
Exothermic process
Gives off heat , feels hot
Endothermic process
Absorbs heat , feel cold
To add heat to water you make a gas
Exothermic
