Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Chemical Reaction and Equations after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Chemical reactions form new substances.
  • Word equations use names; chemical equations use formulae.
  • Balanced equations follow the law of conservation of mass.
  • Balancing keeps atom counts equal on both sides.
  • Coefficients are used to balance equations.
  • State symbols make equations more informative.
  • Combination reactions form a single product.
  • CaO + H2O forms slaked lime and releases heat.
  • Exothermic reactions release heat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A chemical equation is balanced if the number of compounds on both sides is the same.

Balancing a chemical equation means changing the chemical formula of a substance.

Magnesium burns in air to form a balanced equation Mg + O2 → MgO as written.
