|
|
Chemical Reaction.....
|
Reactants -------> Products
LHS RHS |
|
Photosynthesis
|
light + 6CO2 + 12H20 -----------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H20
LHS = Reactants RHS = Products |
|
Particles
|
Electron, Proton and Neutron
Negitive, Positive and Neutral Shells, Nucleous, Nucleous |
|
Changes in.....
|
Change in Electrons -----> ion
Change in Protons -------> element changes Change in neutrons ------> isotope |
|
Neuclear Radiation
|
Alpha - Least dangerous
Beta Gamma - Most dangerous |
|
Half Life
|
Half life is the time in which it takes for a radioactive material to decay.
Example- I 25 has a half life of 10 years. We have 2kg of I 25 How much after 40years? 10 Years ---- 1kg 20 Years ---- 500kg 30 Years ---- 250kg 40 Years ----125kg |
|
An endothermic reaction is....
|
when a reaction takes energy from your body generally in the form of heat.
Example: Urea in Water |
|
An exothermic reaction is:
|
when a reaction releases energy thus making it feal hot.
|
|
Universal Indicator in Acid turns....
|
RED
|
|
Universal Indicator in Base turns....
|
BLUE
|
|
What is a variable in an experiment?
|
A variable in an experiment is the reactant that can be changed.
|
|
pH of acids
|
0-6
|
|
pH of bases
|
8-14
|
|
What is the law of conservation
|
Mass in a reaction is always cconserved. The inital mass of the reactant is alwasy equal the final mass of the products.
|
