Chapter 6 Serena Flashcards
(24 cards)
Product
Something that is formed in a chemical reaction
Reactant
A molecule that is in a chemical reaction.
Chemical energy
When a chemical compound reacts to produce new compounds its the energy released
Exothermic reaction
Chemical reaction that happens when heat is released.
Ex: isooctane oxygen reaction is released as products from than is absorbed to break bonds
Endothermic reaction
A chemical reaction that has to have heat
Ex: hydrates barium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate together in a flask
Synthesis reaction
Two or more substances in a reaction that combine to form a new compound
Decomposition reaction
A single compound in a reaction that breaks down to from two simpler substances
Electrolysis
Electric currents used to produce a chemical reaction
Combustion reaction
An organic compound in a oxidation reaction when heat is released
Single displacement reaction
One element takes place of another element
Double displacement reaction
Molecular forms a atom or ions from the apparent exchange
Oxidation reduction reaction
Any chemical change when something loses an electron and gains electrons
Reduced
Accept electrons
Oxidized
Loses electrons
Radicals
One or more electrons for bonding in an organic group
Chemical equation
A chemical reaction that uses symbols to show the similarities between a reactant and products
Mole ratio
Relative number of moles required to produce a product in a chemical reaction
Coefficient
Numbers in front of the chemical formulas
Law of conservation of mass
A balanced chemical equation to write equations for chemical reactions
Law of definite of proportions
A compound always contains the same amount of elements in the same proportions no matter what.
Catalyst
Something that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without out changing itself.
Enzyme
A protein that speeds up the metabolic reactions in plants and animals without destroying them or changing them permanently.
Substrate
A substance that supports another substance or element from under neath
Chemical Equilibrium
A state of balance that forward reaction and the rate of reverse reaction are equal.
