What is a product?
Substance that forms in a chemical reaction.
What is a reactant?
A substance in a chemical reaction.
What is chemical energy?
Energy released when a chemical compounds reacts to make new compounds.
What is a exothermic reaction?
Reactions that release energy. Ex isooctane-oxygen reaction, more energy is released as the products form than is absorbed to break bones in the reactants.
What is an endothermic reaction?
Reaction that absorbs energy. If you put hydrated barium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate together in a flask, the reaction between them takes so much energy from the surroundings that water in the air will condense and then freeze on the surface of the flask.
What is a synthesis reaction?
When small molecules join together in chains to make larger structures called polymers.
What are Decomposition reactions?
When substances are broken apart.
What is Electrolysis?
The simplest decomposition reaction.
What is a combustion reaction?
Reaction where oxygen is a reactant.
What is a single-displacement reaction?
Atoms of one element appear to move into a compound and atoms of the other element appear to move out.
What is a Double-displacement reaction?
When two compounds appear to exchange ions.
What is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
Electron transfer.
What are radicals?
When electrons are available for bonding.
What is reduced?
Chemical change in which electrons are gained by removal of oxygen.
What is oxidized?
When reactant loses one or more electrons.
What is a chemical equation?
Representation of a chemical reaction.
What is a mole ratio?
Relative number of moles of a substance.
What is a coefficient?
Number in front of a chemical.
What is the law of conservation of mass?
Matter can not be created or destroyed.
What is the law of definite proportions?
A compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions, regardless of how the compound is made or how much of the compound is formed.
What is a catalyst?
Something that slows or speeds up the reaction.
What is an enzyme?
A protein that is a catalyst for chemical reactions in living things.
What is a substrate?
Something that supports the reaction.
What is a chemical equilibrium?
A balanced state.
