Reactions
The process by which a chemical reacts with oxygen to form one or more products as well as heat and usually light.
What is Combustion?
The measurement used to define where a type of light falls on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is Wavelength?
Energy at rest.
16.00 amu
What is the atomic mass of Oxygen?
The outermost electrons in an atom.
What are Valence Electrons?
The type of analysis of chemical reactions that specifies how much of each reactant is needed to produce a certain amount of each product. (It requires a balanced equation.)
What is Stoichiometry?
The most powerful and destructive light waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are Gamma Rays?
An experimental procedure by which heat is measured through the increase in temperature of a liquid with known characteristics, typically water.
What is Calorimetry?
212 degrees Fahrenheit
What is the Boiling Temperature of Water?
At any given energy level, these orbitals hold a total of six electrons.
What are P-orbitals?
It is reduced by the presence of a catalyst, allowing the reaction to proceed more quickly.
What is Activation Energy?
The type of rays with a wavelength just longer than the visible spectrum.
What are infrared Rays?
The amount of energy absorbed or released by a substance during a phase change.
What is Latent Heat?
6.02 x 1023
A simple way of picturing how the valence electrons of atoms interact using the element's symbol surrounded by dots.
What are Lewis Structures?
A reaction in which two elements or ions in two different compounds switch places, each becoming part of the other compound.
What is a Double Displacement Reaction?
The substance in our atmosphere that blocks ultraviolet rays from the sun.
What is Ozone (O3)?
The amount of heat energy it takes to raise a specific mass of a substance 1 degree Centigrade.
What is Specific Heat Capacity?
1.00 grams/cm3
What is the density of water?
The most electronegative element on the periodic table.
What is Fluorine?
The type of reaction occurring in the sun, producing heat and light.
What is Nuclear Fusion?
The shortest wavelength that is still part of the visible spectrum.
What is 400 nanometers?
A thermodynamic quantity that represents the total heat content of a chemical system.
What is Enthalpy?
0.0821 (L*atm)/(mole*K)
What is the Ideal Gas Constant?
Atoms on the reactant side of a chemical equation that gain electrons on the product side.
What is Reduction or Reduced?
