Write the unbalanced formula equation from the following word equations

A. iron combines with sulfur - Fe + S > FeS B. Calcuim carbonate breaks down into calcium - CaCO3 > CaO + CO2 C. Water and carbon dioxide - CO2 + H2O > H + HCO3- D. Carbon monoxide burns in oxygen > 2CO + O2 > 2CO2

What are special symbols in chemical equations

(aq) - dissolved (l) - liquid (S) - solid (G) - gas

Name three out of five signs that a chemical change may have taken place

1. Solid separates from a liquid mixture of chemicals 2. Bubbles of gas form or explosions occur 3. Color of substance change

3 steps to writing a chemical formula

1. Write a word equation 2. Put into formula equation 3. Balance atoms if necessary

Understand 5 ways to determine a Chemical reaction

1.A solid separates from a liquid mixture of chemicals 2. Bubbles of gas form or an explosion of gases occurs 3. Color of substance changes-usually permanent 4. Temperature of mixture of chemicals change 5. Light, sound, or another energy is produced.

Chemical thermodynamics

Classifying reactions by how energy moves in and out of the process

What is a balanced chemical equation

Coeffiencents are placed in front of formula to balance

Know the four types of reaction

Composition Reaction / Synthesis Decomposition Reaction Single-Replacement Reaction Double-Replacement Reaction

Explain how you can determine each

Double replacement - two compounds switch cations and anions with each other Single replacement - one element replaced by another element Decomposition - break apart of decompose substance Synthensis - combine two or more substances

Explain law of conservation of energy

Energy cannot be destroyed in a system

Products

Formulas after arrow

Reactants

Formulas before arrow

Difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions

Give of large quantites of heat = exo Reactions that absorb thermal energy = endo

Mesuarement used

Joules

Laws of thermodynamics

Law of conservation of energy

Catalyst

Not a reactant nor product doesn't change

Balanced equation

Pb + O2 > PbO = 2 Pb + O2 > 2PbO

Arrow in chemical equations shows

Precipitate , gaseous byproduct

What do we call a solid product that settles out of a solution following a reaction

Precipitate reaction

What are the products and reactants of a chemical equation

Reactants - formula before arrow Product - formula after arrow

Know symbols for state of matter of reactants and products

Reactants = formulas before arrow Products = formulas after arrow

Precipitate

Solid product that settles outside the solution

Compounds use subscripts, formulas use

Substances

Why do we use chemical formulas

Tell us chemicals present before and after

Key to chemical reactions

Total amount of matter present before a reaction must equal the total amount of matter present after the reaction

Double replacement

WX + YZ > WZ + YX

Single replacement

XY + Z > ZY + X

Decomposition

XY > X + Y

Synthesis

Zn + S = ZnS
