#1
Front (Question)

conduction

Back (Answer)

• heat moves by direct contact • from hot to cold • ex: metal spoon in hot soup gets hot

#2
Front (Question)

heat always flows until

Back (Answer)

• thermal equilibrium • equal temperature

#3
Front (Question)

chemical property

Back (Answer)

• you must cause a chemical change to see it • ability to burn • ability to rust • reactivity with oxygen

#4
Front (Question)

new substances formed

Back (Answer)

chemical property

#5
Front (Question)

a chemical reaction happens when

Back (Answer)

• bonds break • bonds form • electrons move • the result is new substances

#6
Front (Question)

what affects reaction speed

Back (Answer)

• temperature • pressure • concentration • surface area

#7
Front (Question)

catalyst

Back (Answer)

• speeds reaction up

#8
Front (Question)

inhibitor

Back (Answer)

• slows reactions down

#9
Front (Question)

chemical equation basics

Back (Answer)

• reactants on the left side (what start w) • products on the right side of the (what u end with)

#10
Front (Question)

coefficients

Back (Answer)

big numbers infront of formulas tells you how many moles (unit used to count particles ex: 2H2 + O2 = 2h2o means 2 hydrogen + 1 oxygen make 2 water

#11
Front (Question)

law of conservation of mass

Back (Answer)

• matter is not created or destroyed • same number of atoms on both sides, atoms just rearrange

#12
Front (Question)

if atoms don’t match

Back (Answer)

the equation is unbalanced

#13
Front (Question)

how to balance a chemical equation

Back (Answer)

• count atoms on both sides • change coefficients only • use whole numbers • keep adjusting until atoms match

#14
Front (Question)

types of chemical reactions

Back (Answer)

• combination (synthesis) • decomposition • single replacement reactions • double replacement reactions • combustion reactions

#15
Front (Question)

combination (synthesis)

Back (Answer)

• two or more substances combine • make ONE product • A + B = AB • hydrogen + oxygen = water

#16
Front (Question)

decomposition

Back (Answer)

• one substance breaks apart • makes two or more products • AB = A + B

#17
Front (Question)

decomposition reactions need

Back (Answer)

energy, usually heat or electricity

#18
Front (Question)

separation vs decomposition

Back (Answer)

• decomposition is a chemical change • separation just separates mixtures (no chemical change)

#19
Front (Question)

single replacement reactions

Back (Answer)

• one element kicks out another element in a compound • A + BC = B + AC • one element switches places • metals usually replace metals

#20
Front (Question)

double replacement reactions

Back (Answer)

• two compounds swap ions • AC + BD = AD + BC • formation of water, solid, gas

#21
Front (Question)

acid base reactions (type of double replacement)

Back (Answer)

• acid donates proton • base accepts proton • results in salt + water

#22
Front (Question)

combustion reaction

Back (Answer)

• this is burning • need fuel + oxygen • often get heat, light and new compounds • wood + oxygen = CO2 + water + energy • often exothermic (releases energy)

#23
Front (Question)

activation energy

Back (Answer)

• minimum energy needed to start a reaction • without enough activation energy, no reaction happens

#24
Front (Question)

catalysts

Back (Answer)

• lower activation energy • not used up • not permanently changed • don’t change the final products
