an interaction between two compounds or elements that forms new compounds
chemical reactions
A + B -> AB
synthesis
AB -> A + B
decomposition
AC + B -> A + BC
single replacement
AB + CD -> AD + CB
double replacement
combining a compound with carbon or oxygen to form a flame; produces CO2 and H2O
combustion
a type of chemical reaction that involves free radicals

moles
Avogadro’s Number
6.022 x 10^23
number used to convert number of atoms to moles
Avogadro’s number
the mass of one mole of a substance
molar mass/atomic mass
ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield
percent yield
when one reactant isn’t enough; reagent that is lacking
limiting reagents
sour taste, corrosive to metal, pH < 7
acids
bitter taste, slippery surface, pH > 7
bases
known as the universal solvent for acids and bases
water
an acid or base that ionizes fully
strong acid/base
an acid or base that ionizes partially
weak acid/base
gains one charge from donating a proton
conjugate acid
loses one charge from receiving a proton
conjugate base
