Across
- 1. a chemical reaction in which one element in a compound is replaced by another element; also known as single-displacement reaction.
- 4. a substance that slows the reaction rate by reducing the effectiveness of catalysts.
- 6. an exothermic chemical reaction in which a fuel reacts with oxygen.
- 7. the state that occurs when forward and reverse reactions each happen at the same rate.
- 11. a combination of chemical formulas and symbols that models a chemical reaction
- 12. a chemical reaction in which two compounds swap cations or anions with each other; also known as double-displacement reaction.
- 14. a number is placed in front of a chemical formula within a chemical equation that shows how many units of a reactant or product are needed to balance the chemical equation.
- 16. a mass of one mole of a substance.
- 18. the model that states for a reaction to occur, the reactant particles must collide with each other, with the proper alignment, and with enough energy.
- 20. a chemical reaction that absorbs more thermal energy than it releases
- 23. a reaction in which the products can react together to reform the original reactants.
- 24. a chemical reaction in which two compounds swap cations or anions with each other; also known as double-displacement reaction.
- 25. a substance that enters into a chemical reaction.
Down
- 2. a chemical reaction that releases more thermal energy than it absorbs.
- 3. the minimum energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur.
- 5. a gain of electrons in a chemical reaction.
- 8. a process that rearranges the atoms in one or more substances into one or more new substances.
- 9. the speed of a reaction.
- 10. the principle that states that a chemical system in equilibrium will adjust its equilibrium position in such a way as to reduce the effects of any changes made to the system.
- 13. the law that states that energy can not be created or destroyed but can be transformed between objects.
- 15. a chemical reaction in which two or more reactants combine into a single, more complex product
- 17. SI fundamental unit of for the quantity of mater in a substance; a count equal to 6.022 x 10^23
- 19. a loss of electrons in a chemical reaction.
- 21. a substance that is formed during a chemical reaction.
- 22. a substance that helps a reaction happen faster but is not used up in the reaction.
