What is synthesis?

A reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound. 

A+B-->AB

100

What is single displacement?

A reaction in which one element replaces another in a compound.

100

What is a precipitate?

a solid that forms during a reaction

100

What is Combustion? 

chemical combination of a hydrocarbon with oxygen, producing water and carbon dioxide (and usually heat and light)

100

Balance the equation:

_NH3 + _H2SO4 -> _(NH4)2SO4

2NH3 + 1H2SO4 -> 1(NH4)2SO4

200

Decomposition is the reaction where...

one substance breaks down into two more substances

ABC-->AB+C

200

Double displacement is...

A reaction in which the positive ion on one compound replaces the positive ion of another compound.

200

In a chemical equation, what does (aq) describe?

The molecule remains dissolved in water (or in the solution)

200

True or False: burning coal is an example of combustion

True

200

Will Nitrogen form an anion or cation?

Anion. 

Nitrogen will have a negative charge when it gains 3 electrons to complete its outer shell. 

300

Name the type of chemical reaction:

Al4+O6-->Al4O6

synthesis

300

What type of reaction is this an example of?

1Fe + 1CuCl2 -> 1FeCl2 + 1Cu

Single displacement

300

Will a precipitate form between Potassium ions (K+) and Chloride ions (Cl-)?

No. (Potassium is always soluble). 

300

In order for a reaction to occur, molecules must _________

collide

300

balance the equation:

__FeS+___O2-->____Fe2O3+____SO2

The numbers are 4, 7, 2, 4  

(or  2, 3.5, 1, 2)

400

Identify the reaction:

KClO2-->KCl+O2

decomposition

400

2NaOH + 1H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O is an example of...

Double Displacement

400

Will a precipitate form between Calcium ions (Ca2+) and Carbonate ions (CO32-)?

Yes. 

Carbonates almost always form precipitates (except with group 1 ions or ammonium)

400

What are two factors needed for a collision to cause a reaction? 

Correct orientation and sufficient energy.

400

BALANCE THE EQUATION:

_P4 + _O2 -> _P2O3

1P4 + 3O2 -> 2P2O3

500

Sodium chloride is a product of what type of reaction?

synthesis--sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) combine to produce sodium chloride

500

Will a single-replacement reaction occur? If so, identify the products.  MgCl2 + I2 → ?

Because iodine is below chlorine on the periodic table (or reactivity series), a single-replacement reaction will not occur.

500

Name the precipitate formed:    Barium nitrate + Silver sulfate -->

Barium sulfate

500

Name 3 of the 5 ways to speed up a reaction

catalyst, concentration, stirring, surface area, temperature
