section 3 Flashcards
includes writing formula equations, balancing equations, and using mols for calculations
3.1
in a chemical reaction, energy is either released or gained.
[what are these reactions called?]
endothermic and exothermic reactions
3.1
exothermic reactions
energy EXits the system as heat
A+B → C+D + energy [joules]
ex cellular respiration
endothermic
energy ENters the reaction
energy[joules] + A+B→C+D
ex photosynthesis
biochemical reactions
reactions that take place inside living organisms
cellular respiration and photosynthesis are 2 important examples
evidence of chemical reaction
- new substance formed [product]
- temperature change
- formation of gas [bubbles] or a solid [precipitate
- conservation of mass [mass of reactants = mass of products]
6 types of reactions
formation
decomposition
single replacement
double replacement
hydrocarbon combustion
neutralization [fancy double replace.]
formation
elements/compounds joined together
A+B→AB
decomposition
compounds are separated
AB → A + B
single replacement
1 element replaces element in a compound
A + BC →AC + B
remember to pair the metal with nonmetal [negative charge w positive]
double replacement
elements from each of the 2 compounds switch
AB + CD → AD + CB
remember; METAL with NONMETAL
hydrocarbon combustion
hydrocarbon combines w oxygen; product is ALWAYS CO₂ and H₂O
CₓHₓ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
neutralization
acid + base → water + salt
HB + COH → HOH + CB
H₂O = HOH
