unit 2: chapter 4 Flashcards
(33 cards)
evidence of chemical reactions
change in colour, energy is released, gas is produced, precipitate
a change in colour is not always reliable
especially when combining things with water
law of conservation of mass
total mass of reactants equals total mass of products
word equations in chemical reactions
just the names (ex. hydrogen and nitrogen)
skeleton equations in chemical reactions
focus on getting the right formulas, not necessarily balanced
balanced chemical equations in reactions
fully balanced, final stage
order for balancing chemical equations
MINHO
what does minho stand for
- metals
- polyatomic ions
- non-metals
- hydrogen, oxygen
synthesis reactions
a + b => ab
decomposition reactions
ab => a + b
single displacement reactions
a + bc => ac + b
double displacement reactions
ab + cd => ad + cb
synthesis: metal and nonmetal form
solid ionic compound
synthesis: non metal and non metal form
molecular compound
synthesis: non metal and hydrogen form
USUALLY a molecular compound (rarely forms with group 1 metals)
synthesis: non metal oxide and water form
an acid
synthesis: metal oxide and carbon dioxide form
metal carbonate
synthesis: metal oxide and water form
a metal hydroxide (base)
decomposition: metal oxyanion is heated to form
ionic compound and gas
decomposition: metal carbonate is heated to form
a metal oxide and carbon dioxide
oxides are formed by
a synthesis reaction with oxygen
single displacement: METAL and metal*nonmetal form
METAL*nonmetal and metal
single displacement: NONMETAL and metal*nonmetal form
meta*NONMETAL and nonmetal
single displacement: metal and water form
base and hydrogen
