Card 1Law of Conservation of Mass

A piece of iron weighs 100g before rusting. After rusting, will it weigh more, less, or the same? Explain why.

Answer

It will weigh MORE than 100g. During rusting, iron reacts with oxygen from air to form iron oxide (rust). The oxygen atoms add to the iron's mass, increasing the total weight. This follows the law of

Card 2Chemical Combination Reactions

Why does burning magnesium produce such a bright white light?

Answer

When magnesium burns, it combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide (2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO). This is a highly exothermic reaction that releases enormous energy as heat and light. The intense white light i

Card 3Decomposition Reactions

What happens when you heat calcium carbonate (limestone) strongly? Write the chemical equation.

Answer

Calcium carbonate decomposes into calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide gas. CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g). This is thermal decomposition. The CO₂ gas can extinguish a burning match stick brought

Card 4Molecular Mass Calculations

Calculate the molecular mass of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). Given: H=1u, S=32u, O=16u

Answer

Molecular mass = 2(H) + 1(S) + 4(O) = 2(1) + 32 + 4(16) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98u. Therefore, the molecular mass of H₂SO₄ is 98 unified mass units.

Card 5Mole Concept

What is one mole of a substance? Why is this unit important in chemistry?

Answer

One mole is the amount of substance containing 6.022×10²³ particles (Avogadro's number). It's important because it allows us to count atoms and molecules by weighing them. For example, 1 mole of carbo

Card 6Displacement Reactions

Why do iron nails turn brown when dipped in copper sulfate solution?

Answer

Iron is more reactive than copper, so it displaces copper from copper sulfate solution. The reaction is: Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu. The brown coating is metallic copper deposited on the iron nail. This

Card 7Chemical Formula Writing

How do you write the chemical formula for aluminum oxide using the criss-cross method?

Answer

1. Write symbols: Al O 2. Write valencies: Al³⁺ O²⁻ 3. Criss-cross valencies: Al₂O₃ 4. The formula is Al₂O₃ (aluminum has valency 3, oxygen has valency 2, so we need 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms to balanc

Card 8Atomic and Molar Mass

What is the difference between atomic mass and molar mass? Give an example.

Answer

Atomic mass is expressed in 'u' (unified mass units) while molar mass is in grams. They are numerically equal. Example: Carbon atomic mass = 12u, Carbon molar mass = 12g. 12u refers to one atom, 12g r
