Reactants & Reactants & ProductsProducts
What are Reactants? -reactants are two or more elements that
chemically interact to form a new substance.
What is a Product? -a product is the result of the experiment,
what is produced at the end

Law of Conservation Law of Conservation of Massof MassEnergy cannot be created nor destroyed but it can
change forms(solid, liquid, gas, plasma)How it is related to a chemical reaction is the
energy is not created nor destroyed but it changes forms, such as going from a solid to a liquid, liquid to gas, or solid to gas, liquid to solid, gas o solid…ect…

Energy & Chemical Energy & Chemical ReactionsReactionsWhat is an endothermic reaction? -an endothermic reaction, for example, is when is when you mix two solids called
barium hydroxide and ammonium salt.
When mixed they dissolve together Into water of hydration, therefore They become very cold.

Exothermic ReactionsExothermic Reactions
What is an exothermic reaction? -a candle for example
When enough heat is applied to a candle it starts to oxidize. The paraffin reacts with the water resulting in carbon dioxide and water, also heat and light. The reaction creates visible light, the flame.

Chemical Potential Chemical Potential EnergyEnergy
What is chemical potential energy? -chemical potential energy is energy
which is stored in the chemical bonds of the atoms in a molecule. When the bonds are re-arranged, energy can be released.

Activation EnergyActivation Energy
Activation Energy is the energy needed by a system to initiate a particular process. It is often used to denote the minimum energy needed for a specific chemical reaction to occur. Information: http://www.bio-medicine.org
Synthesis ReactionsSynthesis ReactionsWhat is happening in a synthesis reaction? -In a synthesis reaction, two or more
substances combine to form another substance
-It’s the formation of a complex compound by the combination of two or more simpler compounds, elements, or radicals.

Decomposition ReactionsDecomposition Reactions
What is happening in a decomposition reaction?
-A decomposition reaction is where one single compound breaks down into two or more simpler chemicals. An example of this is the decomposition of zinc carbonate, represented by the equation:
-ZnCO3(s) ZnCO(s) + CO2(g)

Single Replacement Single Replacement ReactionReaction
A single replacement is when a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound. Two reactants yield two products. For example when zinc combines with hydrochloric acid, the zinc replaces hydrogen. The chemical equation for this single replacement reaction looks like:
Zn + 2HCl ---> ZnCl2 + H2

Double Double Replacement Replacement ReactionsReactions
A double replacement reaction is when two elements switch places in a chemical reaction. An example would be...
NaSOU4+PoBNF2=>PoBOU4+NaSNF2 The NaS and the PoB switched places.
