If the arrangement of atoms in a substance changes, then which of the following is true?
A chemical reaction has occurred.
Breaking a chemical bond ____ energy.
Absorbs
Why is the law of conservation of mass true?
All atoms at the start of a chemical reaction are present at the end of the reaction.
What does an inhibitor do?
An inhibitor is a substance that slows the formation of a product.
According to the law of conservation of mass, how does the mass of the products in a chemical reaction compare to the mass of the reactants?
The masses are always equal.
A chemical reaction is taking place between substance A and substance B. The reaction is taking place in two different containers. Compare the rates of reaction in containers I and II. Explain.
The reaction occurs faster in container II because there is a greater concentration of substance A in that container.
A chemical reaction in which more energy is absorbed than is released is endothermic.
True
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to begin.
True
Energy is needed to break bonds in chemical reactions.
True
When a chemical equation contains the same number of atoms on both sides, the equation is balanced.
True
rate of reaction
a measure of how fast a reaction occurs
