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
