Unit 5 - Chemical Equations And Acids, Bases Flashcards
What is the term for a way to display chemical equations where every item is a WORD?
Word equation
What are the 4 types of evidence that a chemical equation has occurred?
~ Change in the color
~ Formation of a precipitate
~ Production of a gas
~ Energy is transferred - - gives off heat, light and sound
What is the SMALL whole-numbers that are placed in FRONT of the formulas in an equation in order to balance them?
Coefficients
What are the 7 Diatomic Elements?
Remember - “Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer”
Have - Hydrogen No - Nitrogen Fear - Fluorine Of - Oxygen Ice - Iodine Cold - Chlorine Beer - Bromine
Be able to name the 5 types of Chemical reaction.
~Synthesis (Combination) ~Decomposition ~Single-replacement ~Double-replacement ~Combustion
What type of reaction occurs when two or more substances react to form a SINGLE NEW SUBSTANCE?
2 Na + Cl2 ——> 2 NaCl
Synthesis (combination)
Hint: You combine the two substances to make ONE
What is the term for the type of reaction in which a single compound BREAKS down into two or more products?
2 H2O —-> 2 H2 + O2
Decomposition
Hint: Decomposition means to break down
So you are taking one product and breaking it into separate parts
1 reactant ——> 2 or more products
What type of reactions occurs when ONE element REPLACES a second element in a compound?
T + RS ——-> TS + R
Single replacement
Hint: You change the order (placement) of ONE element
What type of reaction occurs when a change involving the exchange of POSITIVE ions between TWO compounds?
RS + TU ——-> RU + TS
Double replacement
HINT: There are TWO reactants AND TWO products
What type of reaction occurs when one or more reactants combine with OXYGEN releasing heat or light?
A + O2 ——> AO
Combustion
HINT: Oxygen MUST be a reactant AND CO(2) MUST be in the product
What type of reaction is occurring in the following:
Na2S + Cd(NO3)2 ——-> CDS + NaNO3
Double replacement
2 reactants and 2 products
What type of reaction is occurring in the following:
Mg + O2 ——-> MgO
Synthesis (combination)
2 become 1
What type of reaction is occurring in the following:
Cu (NO3)2 + Zn ———> Zn(NO3)2 + Cu
Single replacement
Cu and Zn switch places
What type of reaction is occurring in the following:
2 C2H6 + 7 (O2) ——-> 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
Combustion
Reactant has O2 AND Product has CO2
What type of reaction is occurring in the following:
2 HgO ———-> 2 Hg + O
Decomposition
1 reactant breaks into 2 products
