unit 7 Flashcards
what is the law of conservation of mass?
in an enclosed system, matter cannot be created or destroyed
what is a chemical formula
a mole ratio of elements in a compound
what 2 things does a coeff. represent
number of atoms involved in a reaction
number of moles of the substance needed in a reaction
why do thes sum of the particles have to be the same
bc there must be the same number of particles for each element on both sides so totals will be the same
observable evidences of a chemical change
pH change, color change, change in flaming splint, pop noises
practice balancing equations also
if a compound is ionic what do u do first
balance charges
find the charge of both elements and switch them
synthesis
one product
decomposition
one reactant
single replacment
metal replacing cation in a compound
halogen replacing halogen (g17)
double replacment
compound + compound -) compound + compound
cations swap places
combustion
hydrocarbon + O2 -) CO2 + H2O
reduction
gaining electrons
oxidation
losing electrons
REDOX rules
elements=0
h=+1
f=-1
O=-2 (unless with F)
Halogen=-1 (O or F)
Group 16 = -2(O, F, or halogen)
Group 15 = -3 (unless with above)
elemtns can just be number too
percent yeild
a comparison of what is produced to what should be
experimental / theoretical x 100
