  • Chemical Reactions -a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the produces.
  • Substances are either chemical elements or compounds
  • A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products atoms are never created or destroyed
  • the father of modern chemistry is Lavoisier
  • first law of thermodynamics or the law of conservation of energy
  • the reactant should have the same mass of matter as the products
  • chemical equations should be balanced
  • show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions
  • mass is neither created nor destroyed
  • Coefficient- indicate the number of moles.
  • Coefficient - changed in order to balance the equation
  • Stoichiometry - calculating the amounts of reactant used or products formed in a chemical reaction
  • Subscript - indicate the number of atoms cannot be changed when balancing equation
  • ratios between between the moles of any two substances in a balanced
  • Make sure that the equation is balanced before getting the molar ratios
  • Percent Yield - One way of expressing the efficiency of a chemical reaction.
  • Percent Yield - the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield expressed as percent
  • Percent yield = Actual yield/Theoretical yield × 100
  • Di (two)
  • two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction
  • The hydroxyl group of a monosaccharide combines with the hydrogen of another monosaccharide, releasing a molecule of water and forming a covalent bond.
  • poly (many)
  • a long chain monosaccharides linked by alycosidic bonds
  • The chain may be branched or unbranched, and it may contain different types of monosaccharides
  • fats, oils and waxes, which may be saturated or unsaturated can be unhealthy but also serve important functions for plants and animal
  • Fats - saturated acids components predominate and are solids as room temperature
  • Oils - unsaturated fatty acids predominate and are liquids at room temper
  • Waxes - they are malleable in normal condition
    have only a single long-chain fatty acid, attached to a long chain alcohol group
  • Triglycerides - most common types of lioids
    a fat molecule with glycerol and fatty acids
  • Biomolecules - are carbon-containing compounds that are of biological importance because they make up and carry chemical reactions needed by the living organism where they are found.
  • Biological Macromolecule - large, organic molecule such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
