Terms & Background
A chemical reaction occurs when one or more substances (_______________) rearrange into new substances (_______________) using what symbol?
reactants, products, arrow
The description 'two or more substances combined to make one' defines which type of reaction? What is the equation?
Synthesis, A + B --> AB
Write ‘A’ for every atom, ‘M’ for every molecule, and ‘C’ for every compound: H2, Be, NaCl, He2, Mg, He, MgCl
M, A, C, M, A, A, C
Finish balancing this equation:
H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O
2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O
What type of reaction is this:
Sc + O --> ScO
NHe --> N + He
H + F --> HF
synthesis, decomposition, synthesis

Antoine Lavoisier, first chemistry book, 1789
What is the description of a single-replacement type of reaction? What is the equation?
One element replaces another in a compound, A + BC --> AC + B
Write ‘A’ for every atom, ‘M’ for every molecule, and ‘C’ for every compound: CH4, Li, CO2, S8, H, Li, Be
C, A, C, M, A, A, A
Finish balancing this equation:
NH4 --> N2 + H
2 NH4 --> N2 + 8 H
What type of reaction are these:
NH --> N + H
ZnCu + HHe --> HCu + ZnHe
H + O --> HO
decomposition, double replacement, synthesis
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
Matter cannot be created nor destroyed
What is the description of a decomposition type of reaction? What is the equation?
One substance breaks down into smaller ones, AB -- A + B
Write ‘A’ for every atom, ‘M’ for every molecule, and ‘C’ for every compound: C, Ne, KI, H2O2, O, Mn, Cu
A, A, C, C, A, A, A
Finish balancing this equation:
