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

  • Physical changes are temporary.
  • Chemical changes are permanent.
  • Reactants are written on the left and products on the right.
  • A balanced equation has equal atoms of each element on both sides.
  • Balancing follows the law of conservation of mass.
  • Hit and trial is the method used for simple equations.
  • 6.022 x 10^23 molecules make 1 mole.
  • Balanced equations give mole, mass, and volume relations.
  • Gay Lussac's law gives simple volume ratios for gases.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any chemical equation is automatically balanced if it shows the correct substances.

Balancing an equation means changing subscripts in formulae.

A reaction can be used for calculations even if the equation is not balanced.
