Science - Chemistry//Reactions Flashcards
Combination Reaction
2 or more reactants combine to form a single product
Decomposition Reaction
single product breaks down into 2 products
Single Replacement Reaction
1 Reaction is displaced by the other to form final product
Double Displacement Reaction
2 bonds are exchanged by 2 compounds to form a different compound
True/ False: Ions are exchanged and oxidations changes during a double displacement
False: Ions are exchanged but the oxidation stays the same
Combustion reactions
chemical reaction involving fuel and oxidant which produces heat or light
True/ False: Fuel and Oxidant determine the compound formed in a combustion reaction
TRUE
Exothermic
Release energy
Activation energy
minimum energy required for a reaction to occur
Catalyst
lowers the activation energy required for a reaction to occur
Base
higher pH, >7pH
Acid
Low pH, <7pH
What determines the strength of an acid or base
it depends on how much their atoms ionize in solution
What are acid properties
sour taste, change litimus paper to red, produce gases h2, produce salt precipitates
Salt
formed from Acid//Base reactions
