Kaylin- Chapter 6 Chemical Reactions Flashcards
What is a product
Substance forming the chemical reaction
What is a reactant?
Substance/molecule that is involved in a chemical reaction
What is chemical energy?
Energy that is released in a chemical reaction that reacts, forming a new compound
What is an exothermic and reaction+example
Heat being released as a result of a chemical reaction; what boiling producing heat to the air.
What is an endothermic reaction+example
Heat required by a chemical reaction; freezing ice
What is a synthesis reaction?
Two+ substances combing to form a compound as a result of the reaction
What is decomposition reaction?
Single Compound that breaks down to form 2+ similar substances because of the reaction
What is electrolysis
Electric current producing a chemical reaction
What is combustion reaction?
Oxidation reaction of a organic compound which causes heat to be released
What is single-displacement reaction?
Reaction causing one element to take the place of another element
What is double-displacement reaction?
A gas, solid precipitate or molecular compound form due to the exchange of atoms/ions between 2 compounds
What is oxidation- reduction reaction?
Chemical change where one species loses electrons (oxidized) and the other species gains electrons (reduced)
What is radical?
Organic group that has 1+ electrons that can be bonded
What is a chemical equation?
Showing the relationship between reactants and products shown by symbols representing the chemical reaction
What is a mole ratio?
Number of moles of the substance needed to make a given amount of product in a chemical reaction
