Key Learning: Chemical reactions are processes by which one or more substances are changed into different substances.
Unit Essential Question(s):
 
 

How are balanced chemical equations used to determine quantities in a reaction?

   
Concept:

Chemical Reactions

Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass when balancing chemical equations.

Identify a specified reaction as one of five major types: composition/synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and redox.

Predict the products of a reaction given the reactants.

Suggested Extended Thinking Strategy: Error Analysis, Compare/Contract or Classifying/Categorizing

Concept: Properties/Factors Affecting Reactions

Classify a reaction in terms of physical and chemical changes.

Classify a reaction as endothermic or exothermic.

Explain how factors such as concentration, temperature and presence of a catalyst affect the rate of a chemical reaction.

Describe how some reactions are reversible.

Draw and interpret energy diagrams.

Suggested Extended Thinking Strategies: Error Analysis, Constructing Support or Abstracting

Concept:

Stoichiometry

Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass to solve simple stoichiometric problems involving mass, moles, particles and volumes.

Solve percent yield calculations.

Extended Thinking Strategy: Error Analysis

Vocabulary Report

  • coefficient -

    a small whole number that appears as a factor in front of a formula in a chemical equation

  • mole ratio -

    a conversion factor that relates the amounts in moles of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction

  • catalyst -

    a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed or changed significantly

  • *law of conservation of mass -

    the law that states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical and physical changes

  • stoichiometry -

    the ratio of moles of one substance to moles of another substance in a balanced chemical equation

  • enzyme -

    a type of protein that speeds up metabolic reactions in plants and animals without being permanently changed or destroyed

  • *product -

    a substance that forms in a chemical reaction

  • activation energy -

    the minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction

  • *reactant -

    a substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction

  • decomposition reaction -

    a reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances

  • synthesis (composition) reaction -

    a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound

  • endothermic -

    a process that absorbs heat from the surroundings

  • single-replacement reaction -

    a reaction in which one element or radical takes the place of another element or radical in a compound

  • exothermic -

    a process or chemical reaction that is accompanied by evolution of heat

  • double-replacement replacement -

    a reaction in which a gas, a solid precipitate, or a molecular compound forms from the apparent exchange of atoms or ions between two compounds

  • physical change -

    a change of matter from one form to another without a change in chemical properties

  • redox reaction -

    any chemical change in which one species is oxidized (loses) electrons and another species is reduced (gains electrons)

  • chemical change -

    a change that occurs when one or more substances change into entirely new substances with different properties
