In a balanced chemical equation, what is conserved?
Answer: Mass and the number of atoms of each element
The law of conservation of mass requires that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
What is the molar mass of water (H₂O)?
Answer: 18 g/mol
H₂O = 2(1.008) + 16.00 = approximately 18 g/mol.
What type of reaction is: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O?
Answer: Synthesis (combination)
Two or more reactants combine to form a single product, which defines a synthesis reaction.
How many moles are in 44 grams of CO₂?
Answer: 1 mole
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + 2(16) = 44 g/mol. So 44g ÷ 44g/mol = 1 mole.
What is a catalyst?
Answer: A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed
Catalysts lower the activation energy of a reaction, increasing its rate without being permanently changed.
In the reaction Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu, what type of reaction is this?
Answer: Single replacement
Iron replaces copper in the compound because iron is more reactive than copper.
