Front

What is a chemical reaction?

Back

A process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

Front

Define oxidation in terms of chemical reactions.

Back

Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.

Front

What is reduction in chemical terms?

Back

Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.

Front

What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?

Back

A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.

Front

What is the law of conservation of mass?

Back

In a chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed; it is conserved.

Front

What is a balanced chemical equation?

Back

A chemical equation in which the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
