Term

Yes or No

 

The total oxidation number of a compound is zero.

Definition
Yes
Term

Yes or No

 

A single-replacement reaction always contains at least three elements.

Definition
Yes
Term
Write the balanced chemical equation for the following word equation: When carbon monoxide burns, it reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.
Definition
2CO + O2→2CO2
Term
Why can chemical changes be expressed in equations?
Definition
Because of the law of conservation of matter, the total amount of matter present before a reaction must equal the total after the reaction.
Term
Give the name for SiO2.
Definition
silicon dioxide
Term
Give the name for P2O5.
Definition
diphosphorus pentoxide
Term
Write the formula and name for the combination of calcium and sulfur.
Definition
CaS, Calcium sulfide
Term
If an element symbol in a chemical formula has no subscript, what is assumed?
Definition
subscript of one is understood
Term

What type of reaction is

Ba + 2HCl→BaCl2 + H2

Definition
single-replacement reaction
Term

What type of reaction is

HCl + KOH→HOH + KCl

Definition
double-replacement reaction
Term

What type of reaction is

N2 + 2O2→2NO2

Definition
composition reaction
Term

What type of reaction is

2KClO3→2KCl + 3O2

Definition
decomposition reaction
Term

What type of reaction is

CaCO3→CaO + CO2

Definition
decomposition reaction
Term

What type of reaction is

C2N2 + 2O2→2CO2 + N2

Definition
single-replacement reaction
Term
What kind of change happens when you place a copper wire in a clear solution and a gray solid forms on the wire?
Definition
chemical change
Term
What kind of change happens when you mix two clear liquids in a beaker and a brown solid layer settles out at the bottom of the beaker?
Definition
chemical change
Term
What kind of change happens when water breaks up into hydrogen and oxygen gas?
Definition
chemical change
Term
Give the correctly balanced chemical equation for the following word equation: Magnesium metal and gaseous oxygen react to produce magnesium oxide.
Definition
2Mg + O2→2MgO
Term
In rusting, iron metal reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to form iron oxide. If 20 atoms of iron change, how many atoms of iron are in the resulting iron oxide?
Definition
20
Term
Carbon and oxygen can combine as CO. What is the name of CO?
Definition
carbon monoxide
Term
Which is the correct formula for ammonium chloride?
Definition
NH4Cl
Term
What is the oxidation number of a lithium ion (Group 1A)?
Definition
+1
Term
How many carbon atoms are in octane, if its empirical formula is C4H9 and its molecular formula has twice the number of atoms as the empirical formula?
Definition
eight
Term
Why do chemical equations need to be balanced?
Definition
See p. 473...law of conservation of matter. Since matter can be neither created nor destroyed, the total amount of matter present before a reaction must equal the total amount of matter present after the reaction.
Term
Categorize and give three examples of energy transformations during chemical reactions.
Definition

See p. 472-473

Chemical to thermal (exothermic), chemical to light (flames or light), chemical to sound (the "kaboom" during an explosion), chemical to mechanical (dynamite moving rock), and chemical to electrical (current produced, such as in a battery).

Term
How are subscripts assigned to atoms in a compound?
Definition
Because the oxidation number of a compound is zero, the sum of all the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in the molecule is zero. By looking at the oxidation rules, you should be able to find the oxidation numbers of the elements in the molecule. If the numbers do not already balance, one or both of them must then be multiplied by the correct number of atoms to balance each other out.
