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