Atoms
Cannot be created or destroyed
1 of 25
Closed system
Container where no substances can leave or enter during the reaction. The mass of the reaction mixture does not change
2 of 25
Mole
Unit for the amount of a substance.
3 of 25
Avagadro constant
If you have a mole you have 6.02*10^23 of them.
4 of 25
Exothermic reaction
Energy is released. Temperature rises
5 of 25
Endothermic reaction
Energy is absorbed. Temperature decreases
6 of 25
Activation energy
Amount of energy to needed break the bronds
7 of 25
Oxidation
gain of oxygen by a substance
8 of 25
Reduction
loss of oxygen by a substance
9 of 25
Redox reaction
where both oxidation and reduction both happens
10 of 25
Reducing agent
The substance that gains the oxygen. (Because it reduces the other)
11 of 25
Oxidising agent
The substance that loses the oxygen. (Because it oxidises the other other substance)
12 of 25
Acid
releases hydrogen ions when it dissolves in water
13 of 25
Base
A substance that will neutralise an acid. If it can dissolve in water it is known as an alkali. Releases OH- ions when dissolved in water.
14 of 25
Electrolysis
Breaks down a compound using eletricity
15 of 25
Electrolyte
Compound with mobile ions so it conducts electricity
16 of 25
Electrodes
Conduct electricity to the electrolyte
17 of 25
Cathode
Negative
18 of 25
Anode
Positive
19 of 25
P.A.N.I.C
Positive Anode Negative In Cathode
20 of 25
Positive ions
Cations
21 of 25
Negative ions
Anions
22 of 25
Aquoeus solution
four ions present . H+ and OH- of the water. Ions of the compound dissolved in it
23 of 25
Electroplating
Type of electrolysis using non-inert electrodes
24 of 25
Inert
something that doesn't react
