Chem Unit 2 Flashcards
(41 cards)
What are the 5 things that show a chemical change
Oder, bubbles without heat, precipitate formed, colour change, heat release/ absorbed
What does a triangle mean on top of an arrow
Heat
What does an X with an arrow pointing down mean
Precipitate formed
What does a x with a arrow up mean
Gas released
What are catalysts
The symbols above an arrow, they have indirect actions like making a reaction go faster
How should you double check your balancing
Mass reactants = Mass products
What does a metal oxide and water make
A base (MetalOH)
What does a non metal oxide with water make
Oxyacids
What does the decomposition of a metal carbonate make
Metal oxide and Carbon dioxide
What does the decomposition of metal chlorates make
Metal oxide and oxygen
What reactions would you need to check the activity series
Single displacment
What is a neutralization reaction
Acid and base makes a salt and water
What is a precipitation reaction
Two aqueous make a precipitate and a aqueous
What is complete combustion reaction made of
CH + O makes CO2 + H2O
What makes incomplete combustion
CH + O2 makes either water, CO2, Carbon or CO
What happens when two aqueous solutions react
Cations of one solution attract and bond to the anions of the second solution to produce a precipitate reaction
Describe what a complete combustion would look like
Very bright, blue flame, lots of energy released
What would a incomplete combustion look like
Dangerous, orange flame, weak amt of energy released
Why is it necessary to “neutralize” solutions? Why not just dilute them with more water?
eliminate hydrogen ions get get rid of its acidity, diluting won’t eliminate it bc it’s still toxic.
How are carbonates used in neutralization situations?
Carbonate is a base and will neutralize acid. Acid + Carbonate makes water, carbon dioxide and an ionic compound
How do antacids neutralize stomach acids
They are bases that are safe to consume to neutralize the stomach acid. A weaker base is preferred to not irritate the stomach
How does neutralization help in baking
Leaveing products produced CO2 that is trapped in dough, to expand. Things like baking soda expands when mixed with an acid.
What factors are taken into consideration when selecting reactants for a neutralization process?
Safety, reactant cost and chemical properties (if it will work they way it should)
mining vs metallurgy
Mining is drilling deep into earth to reach ore. Metallurgy is separate and refine metals to process them into something useful
