What is true in chemical reactions
What do the bonds of the reactants and products do? |
Bonds of the reactants are broken.
Bonds of the products are formed. |
|
In a compound, chemical energy is contained in the ________?
|
Bonds
|
|
What does the arrow mean in a chemical equation?
|
yields
|
|
Methane, CH4, burns in oxygen gas to form water and carbon dioxide. What is the correct balanced chemical equation for this reaction?
|
CH4 + 2O2 -> 2H2O + CO2
|
|
In an endothermic, kJ can be found on the __________ side of the equation?
|
Left
|
|
In an exothermic, kJ can be found on the ________side of the equation>
|
Right
|
|
If the total amount of energy before and after a chemical reaction are the same, then energy is ________?
|
Conserved
|
|
A log is burning in a fireplace. If the amount of oxygen reaching the log is decreased, what happens?
|
The reaction rate decreases and the flame is smaller.
|
|
What is true about a synthesis reaction?
|
Only 1 product is formed.
|
|
The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation always can express the ratio of
|
moles of reactants in products
|
|
Reaction rates tell you how fast
|
Reactants are being consumed. Products are being formed. Energy is being absorbed or released
|
|
When magnesium carbonate reacts with nitric acid, magnesium nitrate and carbonic acid form.
Carbonic acid then breaks down into water and carbon dioxide. Which 2 types of reactions take place in this process? |
Double replacement
Decomposition |
|
The substances that undergo change in a chemical reaction are called _____?
|
reactants
|
|
What is the law of conservation of mass?
|
Mass cannot be created or destroyed.
|
|
In general, if the temperature of a chemical reaction is increased, the reaction rate ________?
|
increases
|
|
What takes place during a redox reaction?
|
electrons are gained or lost
|
|
In a chemical reaction, an iron atom became the ion Fe 2+, What happened to the iron atom?
|
It lost electrons and was oxidized.
|
|
When most fuels burn, water and carbon dioxide are the 2 main products. Why can't you say that water and carbon dioxide are products of all combustion reactions?
|
Some other substances (such as Hydrogen) also burn when fuel does not contain carbon, carbon dioxide.
|
|
What is the purpose of balancing a chemical equation?
|
A balanced chemical equation shows that mass is conserved. The number of each type of atom in the reactants must equal the number of each type of atom in the products.
