Term



What are the signs of a chemical reaction?

Definition

Colour change 

 

Gas created

 

State changed

 

Light created

 

Flame created

 

Smell created

 

Term



How to identify common gases produced by chemical recations

Definition



Hydrogen-pops with lit splint


Carbon dioxide-turns lime water cloudy


Oxygen-will relight a glowing splint

Term
What is the difference between reactants and products?
Definition



The difference is the reactants are the chemicals at the beginning of a reaction and the products are the chemicals at the end of reaction.

Term

 

How do we name salts that are created when an acid reacts with a metal? 



(ACID +METAL REACTION)


Definition

ACID + METAL= SALT + HYDROGEN


The first part of the salt is named from the metal

 

The second part of the salt is named from the acid


eg hydrochloric acid-chloride

sulphuric acid-sulphate

nitric acid -nitrate

 

Term

Complete the following word equations 


hydrochloric acid +magnesium


hydrochloric acid +calcium


sulphuric acid+aluminium


sulphuric acid+sodium

Definition

magnesium chloride +hydrogen


calcium chloride+hydrogen


aluminium sulphate +hydrogen


sodium sulphate+hydrogen

Term

How do we name a salt when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate?

 

 

(ACID+METAL CARBONATE REACTION)

Definition

We name the salt as before



 

ACID +METAL CARBONATE= SALT+WATER+CARBON DIOXIDE  

Term

Finish the following word equations

 

hydrochloric acid +magnesium carbonate

 

hydrochloric acid +calcium carbonate

 

sulphuric acid+aluminium carbonate

 

sulphuric acid +sodium carbonate

 

Definition

magnesium chloride+water+carbon dioxide

 

calcium chloride+water+carbon dioxide

 

aluminium sulphate+water+carbon dioxide

 

sodium sulphate +water+carbon dioxide

 

Term



What is combustion ?



Definition


the act of burning something 


 
 
a process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light
Term



Draw the Fire Triangle and explain it

Term

Burning is a chemical reaction between what ?

 

 

 

Most fuels are made of what and what do they produce when they are burnt ?

Definition

Burning ------ fuel+oxygen + ?

 

 

Carbon and hydrogen and they produce carbon dioxide and water +HEAT

 

Term

12g of Carbon react with 32g of Oxygen;

what is the product?

 

What is the total mass of the product?

Definition

Carbon Dioxide

 

44g [Total mass of reactants equals total mass of products; conservation of mass]

Term

What happens if you heat copper in air?

 

What is the word equation for this reaction?

 

What would happen to the mass of Copper as you heated it?

Definition

It forms copper oxide.

 

Copper + Oxygen= Copper Oxide

 

The mass increases due to the oxygen reactant forming part of the product [Copper Oxide]
