MORE ON STOICHIOMETRY Flashcards
shorthand for a chemical reaction and is essential when planning an experiment
chemical equation
type of chemical reaction where 2 or more reactants form a single product
synthesis or combination reaction
type of chemical reaction that involves the breakdown of a single reactant into 2 or more products
decomposition reaction
type of chemical reaction in which a more active substance can replace the position of a less active substance in a compound
single replacement reaction
increasing order of reactivity of metals and H is called
activity series of metals
salt-forming compounds can also be involved in single replacement reactions
halogens
chemical reaction involves the switching of cations and anions of two reactants
double replacement reaction
reaction between an acid and a base that produces water and a salt
neutralization reaction
refers to the reaction of oxygen with a substance in the presence of heat
Combustion Reaction
he was one of the early chemists who performed quantitative analysis on different reactions
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier
a balanced chemical equation provides the basis for chemical calculations called
stoichiometry
can be expressed as mole to mole, mass to mass, and volume to volume
stoichiometry
the reactant that is totally consumed in a chemical reaction is called
limiting reactant
the amount of product produced in exact stoichiometric ratio with the limiting reagent is the
theoretical yield
amount of product actually formed
actual yield
