What is the Law of Conservation of Matter

Matter/mass cannot be created or destroyed...the atoms may reaarrange but is conserved (within closed system)

100

Which process takes place within nuclear power plants?

What is fission

100

Name this reaction:

Sn  +  NaOH  →  Na2SnO2  + H2

What is single replacement 

100

The substances that are found on left side of the arrow & on the right side of the arrow in a chemical equation.

What are the reactants (left) and the products (right)

100

unbalanced equation 

What is when the number of atoms in reactants are not equal to the number of atoms in products

200

What do the products and reactants of a chemical reaction have in common?

What is they have the same amount of matter (# of atoms).

200

When chain reactions are not controlled within _____ process, what is created (can occur)?

fission

nuclear bombs/ weapons

200

A + B----> AB represents what type of reaction?

What is synthesis 

200

300

A chemical reaction where one reactant produces two or more products

What is decomposition 

300

_HCl + _NaOH---> _NaCl  + _H2O

What is already balanced 

300

Coefficient

The number placed in front of a chemical symbol (element) or compound that represents the number of molecules present (multiples everything behind it) Ex 2H2O

400

DAILY DOUBLE:

Mg   +     O --->  MgO  +    O

48.6g + 50.0g --->80.6g +  g?

What is 18g

400

Is fusion or fission a chemical reaction? why or why not

No- because atoms are NOT rearranging...there is something occuring within the nucleus of an atom

H3PO4  +  KOH ----> K3PO4  +  H2O

What is double replacement 

400

_Na  + _O2 --> _Na2O

400

Fusion 

When 2 smaller nuclei (atoms) combine together to form a large nucleus (immense amount of energy released)
