When lightning strikes, enough energy is supplied to break the bonds of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) gases, which causes them to combine to form nitrogen monoxide (NO). 

1) Write out the equation. 

2) What kind of reaction is this? 

  

1)     N2  +  O2  --> 2 NO 


2)     Synthesis Reaction

200

Is this equation balanced? Write out the products and reactants: 

Na  +  O2   -->   Na2O

NOT balanced 

Reactants - 1 Na, 2 O

Products - 2 Na, 1 O 

Balanced = 4 Na  +  O2   -->  2 Na2O

300

Acid rain can be caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) combining with water (H2O) in the atmosphere. When these compounds come into contact, they produce sulfuric acid (H2SO3). 


1. Write out the equation 

2. Balance the equation

3. Identify the type of equation 

1.  SO2  +  H2O  -->  H2SO3

2.  SO2  +  H2O  -->  H2SO3  

3.  Synthesis

300

Is this equation balanced? 

If yes, write out the products and reactants 

If no, balance it 

Al(OH)3  +  HBr  -->  AlBr3   +   H2O

Al(OH)3  +  3 HBr  -->  AlBr3   +  3  H2O

300

What is the difference between sulfuric acid and sulfur dioxide?

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a primary pollutant, released into the air by burning oil, gas, coal.

Sulfuric acid (HSO3) is a secondary pollutant, created by the chemical reaction between SO2 and water and oxygen in the air.

1. What is the difference between an ion and an isotope? 

2. Write the symbol as an example of each 

Ion - atom with an electrical charge, has more or less electrons than the standard  (H+)

Isotope - atom with a higher or lower atomic mass, has more or less neutrons in the nucleus (Hydrogen-2)

What is the difference between Single and Double replacement? (In your own words! DO NOT copy the definition)

Single replacement - Two things plus one thing = one thing plus 2 things

Double replacement - Two things + Two things then switch both parts

400

Is this equation balanced? 

If yes, write out the reactants and products. 

If no, balance the equation. 

C + SO2  -->  CS2  + CO

5  C + 2  SO2  -->  CS2  + 4  CO

Draw an example equation to represent combustion using emojis/symbols. DO NOT copy the example in your notes. 

AB + C --> AC + BC

500

Is this equation balanced? 

If yes, write out the reactants and products. 

If no, balance the equation.

CH3CH2CH2CH3 +  O2  -->  CO2 +  H2O

2  CH3CH2CH2CH3 +  13  O2  -->  8  CO2 +  10  H2O

500

What does the x in NOx stand for? 

X = variable, could be 1, 2, or 3. 

NOx refers to a group of compounds called nitrogen oxides.  

Primarily NO, NO2, NO3 

500

What type of bond do water molecules have? 

A) Ionic 

B) Non polar Covalent 

C) Polar Covalent

D) Metallic 

Double points if you explain WHY. 

Polar covalent

Covalent - H and O are both nonmetals 

Polar - the difference in electro-negativity is great enough to create a positive and a negative side to the molecule
