Q

to balance equations we add

A

coefficients to the front of molecules or atoms until we have an equal amount of each atom (and therefore mass) on both sides of the equation

25
how to identify a combustion equation
hydrocarbon `
26
acids
compounds that give rise to hydrogen ions when dissolved in water (H) NEGATIVE
27
acids are defined as
proton donors
28
bases
compounds that give rise to hydroxide when dissolved in water POSITIVE
29
bases are defined as
proton acceptors
30
neutralization reaction
a reaction between an acid & base
31
what happens during a neutralization reaction (2)
1. negative ions of acid combine with the positive ions of the base to produce an ionic compound called a salt. 2. the hydrogen ion of the acid and the hydroxide ion of the base combine to form water
32
hydroxide
base
33
hydrogen
acid
34
mass is ____ in a balanced chemical equation
conserved
35
new chemicals are ____
created in a chemical reaction
36
the mass is always the
same
37
when determining how many atoms are present..
always distribute to everything even if there are no parentheses
38
fireworks are an example of
chemical change
39
the products of a combustion reaction always are
carbon dioxide and water
40
if the chemical formula is made up of one element
ion
41
if chemical formula is made up of more than 2 elements
there is a polyatomic ion involved in the formula
42
reaction rate
the rate at which reactants change to produce over time ; various things can be done to affect the reaction rate by affecting how quickly the reactant molecules come into contact with each other
43
concentration
the measure of the amount of a substance in a given unit of volume
44
higher concentrated chemicals will proceed at
a faster rate because there are more chances for reacting particles to come in contact
45
surface area
refers to how much of the material is exposed. breaking a solid into smaller particles will increase surface area
46
increased surface area will
increase the rate of reaction because it increases the exposure of reactants to eachother
47
temperature
the measure of energy of the particles
48
increased temperature will
increase the rate of reaction because faster moving reacting particles will come in contact sooner than slower moving particles
49
catalyst
a substance that increases the rate of reaction but itself is not changed by the reaction. it can be recovered after the reaction is over
50
a catalyst will
increase the rate of reaction by lowering the energy needed to allow the reaction to occur
51
stirring
A mixing of reactants
52
stirring will
increase the rate of reactants by increasing the exposure of reactions to one another
53
which law is violated when we don't balance equations
the law of conservation of mass
54
grinding pepper
physical change
55
melting wax
Physical
56
During a chemical equation, whats taking place at the atomic level
the atoms of reactant chemicals rearrange to create different product chemicals
57
KNO2 is a
salt
58
HCN is a
acid
59
Fe(OH)2 is a
base
60
general products made when an acid and base are combined
a salt and water
61
Diatomic molecules always get a
2 subscript
62
formula for combustion
CO2 +H2O
