Mr. Warren
100

Balance the equation:

H2 + O2  =>  H2O

2H2 + O2  =>  2H2O

100

This type of substance is corrosive, tastes sour, and has a pH between 1-6

Acid

100

This element is found in 90% of all compounds and is essential to organic chemistry

Carbon

100

When silver metal is exposed to sulfur, it reacts to form silver sulfide

Silver + sulfur  =>  Silver sulfide

100

Mr. Warren mistakes his water bottle for a bottle of an unknown solution and drinks it. He uses an indicator to test the pH, and it has a pH of 8. Did Mr. Warren drink an acid, base, or something neutral?

A weak base

200

Balance the equation:

P4 + O2  =>  P2O5

P+ 5O2  =>  2P2O5

200

This type of chemical reaction expels heat into its surroundings

Exothermic

200

These chemicals change colour to show whether a substance is acidic, basic or neutral

Indicators

200

Methane gas burns to form carbon dioxide and water.

Methane + oxygen  =>  Carbon dioxide + water

200

Mr. Warren lights his Bunsen burner and closes the airhole. What colour will the flame be, and what kind of combustion reaction is this?

Yellow/orange. Incomplete combustion.

300

Balance the equation:

Mg + O2  =>  MgO

2Mg + O2  =>  2MgO

300

This type of reaction requires oxygen and involves an explosion

Combustion

300

These compounds are new substance formed by a chemical reaction

Products

300

Iron becomes iron chloride after reacting with chlorine gas

Iron + chlorine  =>  Iron chloride

300

Mr. Warren is shrunk down small enough that he can observe atoms. He examines an atom and sees that it's made of 3 types of subatomic particles. What are the names of these particles?

Proton, neutron and electron

400

Balance the equation:

CH4 + O2  =>  C + H2O

CH4 + O2  =>  C + 2H2O

400

This type of substance is typically dull and brittle

Non-Metals

400

This type of reaction requires heat to proceed

Endothermic

400

Potassium hydroxide reacts with sulfuric acid. Potassium sulfate and water are formed in the reaction.

Potassium hydroxide + sulfuric acid  =>  Potassium sulfate + water

500

Balance the equation:

2C8H18 + 25O2  =>  16CO2 + 18H2O

2C8H18 + 25O2  =>  16CO2 + 18H2O

Its already balanced :)

500

This type of reaction happens only to metals

Corrosion

500

This law states that both sides of a chemical reaction must have the same amount of atoms

Conservation of Mass

500

Sodium corrodes quickly in water, creating sodium hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas.

Sodium + water  =>  Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
