Chemical Reactions

Front

What is a chemical reaction?

Back

A process where reactants are transformed into products, involving the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

Front

What is a precipitate?

Back

An insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are mixed and a chemical reaction occurs.

Front

What are solubility rules?

Back

Guidelines that predict whether a compound will dissolve in water or form a precipitate.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound.

Front

What is the general form of a single replacement reaction?

Back

A + BC → AC + B, where A is a single element and BC is a compound.

Front

What is the significance of the activity series in single replacement reactions?

Back

It ranks metals by their reactivity, helping to predict if a reaction will occur.

Front

What does it mean if a reaction has 'no reaction'?

Back

It indicates that the reactants do not undergo a chemical change under the given conditions.

Front

What is magnesium phosphate's solubility according to solubility rules?

Back

Insoluble.

Front

What is the product of the reaction MgCl2 + 2 NaOH?

Back

Mg(OH)2 (magnesium hydroxide) is the precipitate.

Front

What happens when aluminum is added to iron(III) chloride?

Back

A single replacement reaction occurs, producing aluminum chloride and iron.
