Substance used to start a reaction
Reactant
Knowing about how to predict reactants, especially with metals -- why do you think toothpaste (fluoride) is good at cleaning silverware which is mostly silver sulfide?
Because sulfide would swap places with fluoride therefore cleaning it.
Synthesis
Why do you have to balance all chemical equations?
Because the Law of Conservation of Mass states that the mass you have on the reactants side is the mass you have on the products side.
What are some ways to tell if a chemical reaction has occured or not?
Fire, bubbles, color or odor change, heat change, explosion, etc.
Substance that dissolves another substance.
Solvent
In the following skeleton equation, which of the following are spectator ions?
3H+ + PO43- + 3Li+ + 3OH- -> 3 H2O + PO43- + 3Li+
PO43- + 3Li+
Li2O + CoBr -> LiBr + Co2O
Double Replacement
We can change ___________ to balance an equation, but we can never change ____________ to balance an equation.
coefficients, subscripts
The general form for a single replacement reaction is:
Element + compound -> element + compound
Number written before a chemical formula
Coefficient
Write the equation AND balance it.
Hydrochloric acid (aq) + Magnesium (s) -> Magnesium chloride (s) + hydrogen gas
2 HCl (aq) + Mg (s) -> MgCl2 (s) + H2 (g)
C6H12O6 -> H2O + CO2
Decomposition
___Ni2O3 _> __Ni + __O2
2 Ni2O3 -> 4 Ni + 3 O2
aq and cr
What type of ionic equation is this?
NaCl (aq) + H+ (g) + KO (aq) -> NaO (s) + KCl (aq) + H+
Complete ionic equation
iron (II) chloride (aq) + ammonium hydroxide (aq) -> iron (II) hydroxide (s) + ammonium chloride (aq)
FeCl2 (aq) + NH4OH (aq) -> Fe(OH)2 (s) + NH4Cl (aq)
C6H12O6 + O2 -> H2O + CO2
Combustion
Write a balanced reaction for solid potassium and liquid water coming together to form solid potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
2 K (s) +2 H2O (l) -> 2 KOH (s) + H2 (g)
Which is a more reactive metal: Mg or Cu?
Magnesium as it's further to the left on the PT
Point out the precipitate(s) in the following reaction:
NaO (aq) + KCl (s) -> NaCl (aq) + K2O (s)
K2O
Write the equation and give the type of rxn:
Sulfuric Acid (aq) + lithium hydroxide (aq) -> water (l) + lithium sulfate (aq)
H2SO4 (aq) + LiOH (aq) -> H2O (l) + Li2SO4
Double Replacement
Predict the following products of the following reaction.
AgNO3 + PbSO4 -> ___________ + _____________
AgNO3 + PbSO4 -> AgSO4 + PbNO3
What would be the products of a reaction between the reactants silver (II) nitrate and sodium chloride? Ensure the reaction is balanced.
AgNO3 + 2 NaCl -> AgCl2 + Na2NO3
Explain why the following isn't balanced and fix it.
Sc2O3 + 3H2O -> 2ScOH3
Sc2O3 + 3H2O -> 2Sc(OH)3
