Term
The number that describes how many molecules of a substance are involved in a chemical reaction is a subscript.
Definition
False. Coefficient. Subscripts describe how many atoms of an element are involved in a reaction.
Term
A substance that enters into a chemical reaction is called a reactant.
Definition
True
Term
The chemical equation
Definition
AgNO3 + NaCl -- > AgCl + NaNO3 is a single replacement reaction. False. Double replacement.
Term
A chemical reaction in which an uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compound is called a Double replacement reaction.
Definition
False. Single replacement reaction. AN UNCOMBINED ELEMENT REPLACES AN ELEMENT. If it were stated as a chemical reaction in which uncombined elements replace each other then it would be a double replacement reaction.
Term
An increase in temperature results in an increase in the rate of a chemical reaction.
Definition
TRUE
Term
In the reaction AgNO3 + NaCl -- > AgCl + NaNO3 , the substances AgCl and NaNO3 are products.
Definition
True
Term
Chemical bonds form only when electrons are shared. They cannot form when electrons are gained or lost.
Definition
False. Chemical bonds form when electrons are shared, lost, or gained.
Term
A chemical equation is one in which symbols and formulas are used to represent a chemical reaction.
Definition
True
Term
An exothermic reaction occurs when two substances are chemically combined and energy is absorbed.
Definition
False. Energy is released in exothermic reactions. Energy is absorbed in Endothermic reactions.
Term
In the formula 3AgNO3 There are ___ Ag atoms, ___N atoms, and ___O atoms.
Definition
3 Ag, 3 N, 9 O
Term
The energy needed for reactants to form products is __________________.
Definition
Activation Energy
Term
An increase in the surface area of reactants will cause an ________________ in the rate of chemical reaction.
Definition
Increase
Term
A chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed is called an _____________________ reaction.
Definition
Endothermic
Term
In the ________________ theory, reacting molecules must hit each other with sufficient energy in order to form products.
Definition
Collision
Term
_________________ is when a substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
Definition
Decomposition
Term
A _________________ is when two or more substances combine to form a new, more complex substance.
Definition
Synthesis
Term
A(An) ____________________ in the rate of reaction results from an increase in the concentration of reactants
Definition
Increase
Term
_______________ is the study of reaction rates.
Definition
Kinetics
Term
In a chemical equation, (1)__________________ are written to the right of the arrow, and (2)__________________ are written to the left of the arrow.
Definition
1) products2)reactants
Term
____________________ increase the rate of reaction without being changed by the reaction.
Definition
Catalysts
Term
SO3 + H2O -- > H2SO4
Definition
Synthesis
Term
AgNO3 + NaCl -- > AgCl + NaNO3
Definition
Double Replacement
Term
2KClO3-- > 2KCl + 3 O2
Definition
Decomposition
Term
Zn + 2HCl -- > ZnCl2 + H2
Definition
Single Replacement
Term
Al2(SO4)3 + CaCl2 -- > AlCl3 + CaSO4
Definition
Al2(SO4)3 + 3CaCl2 -- > 2AlCl3 + 3 CaSO4. You have one SO4 on the right and 3 on the left, so put a 3 in front of Ca SO4. You then have 3 Ca atoms on the right so put a 3 in front of CaCl2 on the left. Then, you have 6 Cl and 2 Al on the left so you need to put a 2 in front of AlCl3 on the right. All elements must have the same number atoms on the right and on the left. Conservation of mass.
Term
CCl4+O2 -- > CO2 + Cl2
Definition
Check the number of atoms of each element on the left and on the right. CCl4+O2 -- > CO2 + 2Cl2
Term
A _________ change involves a chemical change in a substance, the creation of a new substance.
Definition
Chemical
Term
A _________ change occurs when the form or appearance of a substance changes, but the substance does not chemically change.
Definition
Physical
Term
How does collision theory relate to an increase in reaction rate caused by an increase in temperature?
Definition
The number of collisions that occur between atoms increases as a result of an increase in temperature. This increases the rate of reaction because there are more opportunities for the atoms to hit each other in the correct orientation.
Term
What are the steps involved in balancing a chemical equation?
Definition
1)Write the equation out with the correct symbols and formulas 2)Count the number of atoms per element on each side of the arrow 3)Balance using coefficients. 4)Check by recounting the number of atoms per elements
Term
A balanced equation provides two pieces of information:
Definition
The elements and the number of atoms involved AND the type of reaction (synthesis, decomposition, single/double replacement)
