What is the law of conservational energy?
The law of conservational energy states that energy cannot e create or destroyed only transferred.
What is the symbol for hydrochloric acid?
HCL
What is the symbol for calcium carbonate/limestone
CACO3
What is a factor that affects the rates of reaction?
Temperature: gives particles more kinetic energy so that they can collide more frequently and forcefully meaning more particles can overcome the activation energy hence, increasing the rate of reaction
What is a chemical reaction?
In order for the particles to react they must collide to make the product therefore, a chemical reaction is the process of reactant particles turning into product particles.
What is activation energy?
the minimum amount of energy needed to break the bonds for a reaction to occur.
What are reactants?
Reactants are the particles we start with in a chemical reaction
What are products?
Chemicals you end up with in a chemical reaction
True or False?: creating new bonds releases energy
True
True or False?: breaking bonds takes in energy?
True
What is -delta H?
-Delta H is the overall energy in a exothermic reaction which means energy exits
What is +Delta H?
+Delta H is the overall energy in an endothermic reaction meaning energy enters
What is an exothermic reaction?
It is a chemical reaction that feels warm or hot to the touch
What is an endothermic reaction?
It is a chemical reaction that feels cold to the touch
What is the unit of measurement for energy?
Joules (j) kilojoules (kj)
What is diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of
Particles
from an area of
high concentration to an area of low concentration in Liquids and gasses (fluids).
What is latent heat?
Latent heat is the energy used to break the bonds so the temperature doesn’t increase
What are the three states of matter
Solid,liquid,gas
What is melting?
Melting is the process of a solid changing to a liquid (e.g ice to water)
What is vaporisation?
Vaporisation is when a liquid changes to a gas (e.g water to steam)
What is sublimation?
Sublimation is the process of a solid to gas (iodine(solid) to iodine(gas)
What is evaporation?
Evaporation is vaporisation but only on the surface of a liquid
What is boiling?
Boiling is vaporisation on the surface of the liquid as well as within the liquid
What is condensation?
Condensation is the change from gas the liquid
