Chemical Reactions and Equations
If there were no chemical changes, chemistry as such would not exist
Catalysts are very important in industry. They speed up a chemical reaction by lowering the amount of energy you need to get one going. They are the backbone of many industrial processes, which use chemical reactions to turn raw materials into useful products.
Recognize chemical reactions as single-replacement reactions and double-replacement reactions
One important aspect about ionic compounds that differs from molecular compounds has to do with dissolving in a liquid, such as water
Identify and classify the three basic reaction patterns, recognize balanced combustion equations, and balance a combustion reaction
Apply the Arrhenius definitions of acids and bases, predict and balance neutralization products, and write net ionic equations
Define oxidation and reduction, assign oxidation numbers, and recognize redox reactions
A mixed review: proper equations, the activity series, double-replacement errors, reaction-type overlaps with redox, oxidation numbers, and disproportionation
