Q
What are the 6 indications a reaction(rxn) has occurred
A
- Catches on fire
- Produces a gas(smoke)
- Color
- Change in temperature
- Light or sound
- A precipitate is formed
2

- Catalyst
- Solid
- Subscript
- Reacts to form
- Coefficients
- Heat
- Reactants
- Products

Q
Terms
A
- Aqueous: Dissolved in water
- Catalyst: Makes the rnx happen faster and at a lower temp. Doesn’t take part of the rnx, doesn’t change
- Heat: Reactant then the rxn is endothermic product “ “ “ is exothermic
- Solid: It precipitates out of solution
4
Q
What are the 5 chemical reactions
A
- Synthesis(S): 1 product; form A+X–AX
- Decomposition(D): 1 reactant; form AX–A+X
- Single replacement(SR): Cmpd and elements both sides; form Ay+X–Ax+Y
- Double replacement(DR): All cmpds; form Ax+By–Ay+Bx
- Combustion(C): HC+O2; form Hydrocarbon +02–CO2+H2O

Q
Balancing chemical equations
A
The # of atoms on the left=the # of atoms on the right
. Only use coefficients to balance(“How many, how do I fix it?”)
. DO NOT TOUCH THE SUBSCRIPTS!!!!
