The Weight of the World (In Grams)
This term refers to the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in one mole of a compound.
What is Molar Mass?
Chemical equations must be balanced to satisfy this fundamental law, stating matter cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
Like two people deciding to go on a date and becoming a "couple," this reaction involves two or more substances combining to form one single product.
What is Synthesis
This small subscript letter in parentheses indicates that a substance is a gas.
What is (g)?
When an HCl reacts with a NaOH (Neutralization), the products are always a salt (NaCl) and this common liquid.
What is water (H2O)?
Calculated by adding one Carbon and two Oxygens, this is the molar mass of CO2 (rounded to the nearest whole number).
What is 44 g/mol?
This is the coefficient needed for O2 to balance:
CH4 + H2O → CO2 + 2H2O.
What is 2?
The ultimate "break-up": In this reaction, a single complex compound simplifies by splitting into two or more smaller products.
What is Decomposition?
This is the chemical formula for the common substance known as Sodium Chloride.
What is NaCl?
If you start with Li + NaCl, the Lithium will kick out the Sodium, resulting in these two products.
What are LiCl and Na?
To find the number of particles in a mole, you use this famous number: 6.022 x 1023.
What is Avogadro’s Number?
To balance the equation for making ammonia
(N2 + H2 → NH3), these three coefficients are needed in order.
What are 1, 3, and 2?
Think of this as "stealing your friend's date." One lone element replaces another element that was already part of a compound.
What is Single Replacement?
Translated to "Chem-ish," the phrase "Magnesium reacts with Chlorine to form Magnesium Chloride" looks like this.
What is Mg + Cl2 → MgCl2?
In a synthesis reaction between Calcium (Ca) and Nitrogen (N2), this is the only possible product.
What is calcium nitride? (Ca3N2)
If you have 2 moles of Water, you have approximately this many grams.
What is 36 grams?
DAILY DOUBLE: In the balanced equation 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, this is the total sum of all coefficients (including the invisible 1).
What is 5?
This "wife swap" or "partner trade" occurs when the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places to form two entirely new compounds.
What is Double Replacement?
In a chemical word equation, these substances are written on the left side of the arrow.
What are reactants?
If Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) undergoes double replacement with Silver Nitrate (AgNO3), it typically produces Calcium Nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) and this compound.
What is Silver Carbonate? (Ag2CO3)
This number is used for the mass of a single atom, and it is numerically identical to grams per mole.
Atomic mass
Balance this: Fe + O2 → Fe2O3.
What is 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3?
This reaction is the "toxic flame" of chemistry: a substance reacts with Oxygen gas, usually releasing energy in the form of light and heat.
What is Combustion?
Using Roman Numerals for charge, this is the correct formula for the product "Iron(III) Oxide."
What is Fe2O3?
In a double replacement reaction between CsNO3 and (NH4)3PO4 , these products are formed.
What are Cs3PO4 and NH4NO3?
