Physical Science World list chapter 5 Flashcards
matter
Anything that has mass and occupies space
Chemical Property
Ability to change to a different substance
Precipitate
A solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction
Enzyme
A biological catalyst that lowers activation energy
Endo-Exothermic reactions
Endo: Energy taking in Exo: Energy given out (In a reaction)
Activation Energy
Energy required to start a reaction
Reactant
A substance that enters into a chemical reaction
Product
Result of a Chemical Reaction
Conservation of mass
Matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction
Coefficient
A number in front of a chemical formula that indicates hiw many molecules or atoms of each reactant and produce are involved in a reaction
Synthesis
Chemical reaction were things combine
decomposition
opposite of synthesis
replacement
one element replaces another or 2 elements trade places
catalyst
lowers activation energy
inhibitor
decreases the rate of reaction
