This enzyme is found in aerobic cells in the body and works very quickly to break down hydrogen peroxide in to merely H2O and O2.

What is Catalase

100

This term identifies the part(s) of a chemical equation that undergoes a change during the reaction.

Reactant(s)

100

 ___ Li + ___ F2 → ___ LiF

2Li + F2 → 2LiF

100

The chemical reaction that follows represents what type of reaction? (CaCO3 → CaO + CO2)

Decomposition

100

This particular type of substance is often used in chemical reactions in order to speed up the rate at which the reaction occurs.

Catalyst

I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?

What is a Map

200

According to this scientific law, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. More specifically, energy can only be transferred. 

The Law of Conservation of Energy 

200

___ Al + ___ O2 → ___ Al2O3

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

200

The chemical reaction that follows represents what type of reaction? (Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4)    

Double Displacement

200

This particular type of substance is often used in chemical reactions in order to slow down the rate at which the reaction occurs.

Inhibitor

300

Automobiles often contain catalytic converters that speed up the process of CO being converted to CO2. This is called a catalyst. What is one of the key elements that are contained in a catalytic converter that makes them so valuable? 

What is Platinum, Rhodium, Palladium

300

This type of chemical reaction absorbs more energy in their products than they initially had in their reactions.

An Endothermic Reaction

300

___ N2 + ___ H2 → ___ NH3

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

300

The chemical reaction that follows represents what type of reaction? (C3H6O + 4O2 → 3CO2 + 3H2O)

Combustion

300

A person may want to split their firewood in order to increase this factor that speeds up the rate of a reaction. 

Surface Area

400

Make an off the ceiling shot and you get 400 points! (the person who selected this question must shoot!)

🧱 

400

In this type of chemical reaction, energy in the reactants is higher than in the products because that energy has been expelled in the form of heat.

An Exothermic Reaction

400

___ CH+ ___ O2 → ___ CO2 + ___ H2O

CH+ 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

400

The chemical reaction that follows represents what type of reaction? (P+ 3O2 → 2P2O3)

Synthesis

400

This factor that affects the rate of a reaction can cause bread mold either very quickly, or very slowly.

Temperature

500

Medications are often administered to patients prior to needing them. For example, a person may take Prilosec prior to eating to slow down excess build up of acid in a person's stomach. What are medications that slow down a process called?

What is inhibitors

500

This French chemist is best known for conducting many experiments on the topic of equilibrium. He is also well known for killing a lab assistant during an expirement!

Henry-Louis Le Chatelier

500

___ NH3 + ___ O2 → ___ NO + ___H2

4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O

500
