  • Boyle's Law
    The pressure (P) and volume (V) of a confined gas are inversely proportional to one another, given that the temperature (T) of the system is held constant
  • Boyle's Law

    1. Pressure is inversely proportional to volume
    2. If volume is halved, pressure will double
    3. If volume increases, pressure decreases
  • Gay-Lussac's Law
    At constant volume, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature
  • Gay-Lussac's Law
    If pressure triples, temperature will also triple
  • Charles's Law
    At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature measured in Kelvin
  • Charles's Law
    If temperature is doubled, volume will also double
  • Monosaccharide
    The simplest form of carbohydrates
  • Amino acid
    The smallest unit of protein
  • Carbohydrates
    • Their main function in living organisms is to supply energy
  • Primary structure of a protein
    The sequence of amino acids
  • Reactant
    A substance that is present before a chemical reaction took place
  • In balancing a chemical equation, coefficients can be altered
  • Law of conservation of mass
    Mass is conserved, it remains constant before and after the reaction
  • Balancing a chemical equation

    Adjust coefficients to ensure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides
  • Law of conservation of mass states that The total mass of the products in a reaction must be equal to the total mass of the reactants
  • Chemical reaction
    The process in which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form new substance(s)
  • Mixing acids and bases
    • Produces salt and water, demonstrating conservation of mass
  • Activation energy
    Explains how successful a chemical reaction will be
  • Energy diagram
    Used to analyze the changes in energy that occur during chemical reactions, shows the direction of chemical reaction
  • Reactants
    The molecules in a collision during a chemical reaction
  • Activation energy
    Needed to break the bond between reactants in a chemical reaction
  • Effective collision

    1. Colliding molecules must possess a minimum kinetic energy
    2. Energy of reactants must be raised over an energy barrier
    3. Reactant molecules should be in correct orientation
  • Chemical reaction
    Particles of two reactants collide and form a new different product
  • Catalyst
    Affects the progress of a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy
  • When balancing a chemical equation, the principle of law of conservation of mass will be applied
