Card 1Chemical Reactions Fundamentals

What is a chemical reaction? Explain with an example.

Answer

A chemical reaction is a process in which atoms of reacting substances are rearranged to form new substances. Old chemical bonds are broken and new ones are formed. Example: When hydrogen gas combines…

Card 2Chemical Equations

What is the law of conservation of matter in chemical reactions?

Answer

The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Atoms are only rearranged to form new compounds. Therefore, in a balanced chemical equation,…

Card 3Chemical Equations

How do we write a balanced chemical equation? What information does it provide?

Answer

A balanced chemical equation represents a chemical reaction using chemical formulas and balancing coefficients so that atoms are conserved. Format: Reactants → Products with symbols for physical state…

Card 4Balancing Chemical Equations

Balance this chemical equation: Na + Cl₂ → NaCl

Answer

Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2NaCl(s) Step-by-step balancing: 1. Count atoms on each side: Left has 1 Na and 2 Cl; Right has 1 Na and 1 Cl 2. Cl is unbalanced, so balance it: 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaC…

Card 5Types of Chemical Reactions

Define combination reaction (synthesis reaction) and give its general equation.

Answer

A combination reaction is a chemical reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form a single product. It's also called synthesis or composition reaction. General equation: A + B → AB Types …

Card 6Combination and Combustion Reactions

Why is the burning of LPG gas in your kitchen stove considered a combination reaction and an exothermic reaction?

Answer

The combustion of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a combination reaction because: 1. Two reactants combine: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) + Heat 2. Propane and oxygen combine to form carbon di…

Card 7Types of Chemical Reactions

What is a decomposition reaction? List its three main types.

Answer

A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. It's the opposite of combination reaction. General equation: AB → A + B Th…

Card 8Decomposition Reactions

What happens when you heat calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)? Describe the process and what you would observe.

Answer

Process: When calcium carbonate is heated strongly, it undergoes thermal decomposition. Chemical equation: CaCO₃(s) --Heat--> CaO(s) + CO₂(g) Observations: 1. White calcium carbonate powder graduall…
