Section 9.1

A chemical substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction

A substance produced in a chemical reaction

Used to show what a chemical reaction yields (same as =); used to separate the reactants from the product. Left side items are reactants and right side items are the product.

used to separate the symbols in a chemical reaction on both sides of the arrow

(g) = gas; (aq) = water; (l) = liquid. these symbols used to denote the state of the reactants and products in an accurate balanced chemical equation. Because water is abundant we only let water have the state (l). Everything that is dissolved in water has (aq) which means aqueous like aqua.

used the name of the element(s) with all of the needed symbols. Ex: for water: Hydrogen(g) + Oxygen(l) > Water(aq)

a way of using the formulas to indicate the chemicals that were involved in the chemical reaction. “Mg + O2 MgO.” This skeleton equation shows that magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.

the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.

Classifying Chemical Reactions

is a purposeful execution of chemical reactions to obtain a product, or several products. This happens by physical and chemical manipulations usually involving one or more reactions.

rapid chemical combination of a substance with oxygen, involving the production of heat and light.

A chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler products.

A reaction in which one element replaces another in a compound or when two elements in different compounds trade places

Metals react by giving up electrons; the most active metals have the lowest ionization energy; cesium corner have the most reactive metals

Follows the order on the periodic table. Most reactive group of all elements

a chemical change in which one element replaces a second element in a compound

a chemical change that involves an exchange of positive ions between two compounds

Section 9.3

solutions in which water is the solvent

Precipitation reactions occur when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate. Many variables determine this

Special types of double displacement reactions that involve the reaction between an acid and base to form a salt and water.

generally an acid and metal compound that when rearranged one compound becomes a gas like CO2, HCN, H2
