What is a chemical reaction?
Process by which one or more substance change into one or more new substances
What are reactants?
Original substances in a reaction (written on left side)
What are products?
Substances that are created (written on right)
What is a chemical equation?
Equation that shows the chemical formulas and relative amounts of all reactants and products
What are signs of a chemical reaction?
Odor, color change, change in temp, formation of gas, precipitate
What is a chemical change?
New substance forms with properties that are different from the original substance
What are some chemical changes?
Density, boiling point, melting point
What is a physical change?
Changes of state which are not chemical changes
What are some physical changes?
Evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing
If energy is being released in a chemical reaction than it is a ?
Product
If energy is being absorbed in a chemical reaction than it is a ?
Reactant
What is a coefficient?
A number in front of the element or compound that multiplies the number of atoms
What happens if you cannot balance the equation do to half odd numbers?
Multiply current coefficients by 2
What are the five reaction types?
Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement
Why is classifying reactions important?
Allows scientists to predict products of reactions
What happens in a combustion reaction?
Carbon molecule reacts with oxygen and products are ALWAYS carbon dioxide and water
Heat is given off
What happens in a synthesis reaction?
Two atoms or compounds are being combined to form one compound
What happens in a decomposition reaction?
One compound breaks down into two smaller elements or compounds
Metal oxides and water make what?
Metal hydroxide
Carbonates break down into what?
Metal oxide and carbon dioxide
What happens in a single replacement reaction?
Single element reacts with compound and displaces another element from compound
What happens in a double replacement reaction?
Two compounds in an aqueous solution appear to exchange ions to form new compounds
What must one of the products be in a double replacement reaction?
One of the products must be a solid precipitate, a agase, or molecular compound such as water
Metal oxides and carbon dioxide form?
Carbonates
