Chemical reactions

Cards (13)

  • Complete combustion there is a good supply of oxygen
  • Incomplete combustion there is a limited supply of oxygen
  • Complete Combustion- fuel (unknown) + oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + water
  • Incomplete Combustion- fuel (unknown) + oxygen ----> Carbon monoxide + water
  • Thermal decompostion- Breaking down a reactant using heat
  • During a chemical reaction atoms are never created or destroyed they are rearranged
  • In a chemical reactions the left side of the arrow is a reactant
  • In a chemical reaction the arrow represents reacts to form
  • In a chemical reaction on the right side of the arrow is the products
  • Exothermic- reaction that releases energy into the surrounding so the temperature of the surrounding will increase
  • Endothermic- Reactions that absorb energy out of the surroundings. So the temperature of the surroundings will decrease
  • Respiration- exothermic
  • Thermal decompostion- endothermic
