Unit 4 Flashcards
two types of matter
pure substances and mixtures
mixtures
heterogenous, homogeneous
can be separated physically
pure substances
elements, compounds
can be separated chemically
physical changes
changes in matter that do not change the chemical composition of a substance, change in properties
imfs are broken/formed
examples of a physical change
phase changes, temperature, volume, mixture separation, dissolving
chemical changes
result in new substances because the chemical composition has changed
bonds are broken/formed
examples of chemical changes
oxidation and decomposition
salts dissolving in water
ionic bonds broken
signs of a chemical change
(unexpected) color change, production of odor, change in temp (w/o adding or removing energy), evolution of a gas (bubbles), precipitate
combination reaction
two or more substances react to form a single substance
A + B –> AB
single replacement reaction
occur when an element reacts with a compound producing a different element and a different compound
-one element replaces a second element in a compound
A + BC –> AC + B
redox
date steal
to determine which substance is replacing in SR
look at signs, must be the same
2 types of SR reactions
metals replacing one another, halogens replacing one another
double replacement reaction
occurs when two compounds react and form two different compounds
-an exchange of positive ions between two compounds
AB + CD –> AD + CB
precipitation and neutralization
date switch/swingers
combustion
occurs when oxygen reacts with a substance (usually one with carbon) and releases light and heat energy
CX + O2 –> CO2 + H2O
decomposition
a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products
AB –> A + B
divorce/breakup
chemical equations
concise representations of chemical reactions
reactants
left side
products
right side
catalysts
speed up reaction, above arrow
law of conservation of mass
matter cannot be created or destroyed
balance that equation!
different types of dissolving
ionic compounds - dissociation
molecular compounds - interact/react with water
dissociation
water surrounds separated ions
