Test Objectives Chapter 7 and 8- Chemical Reactions

1.      Identify indicators/evidence of chemical change/reactions.

2.      Know the law of conservation of mass and how balanced chemical equations can verify it.

3.      Be able to translate a word equation into a balanced chemical equation.

4.      Write and balance chemical equations with proper formulas.

5.      Identify the major types of chemical reactions.

·        Precipitation

·        Oxidation/reduction

·        Double displacement

·        Single displacement

·        Acid/Base

·        Synthesis

·        Decomposition

·        Combustion

6.      Given reactants, identify reaction types and predict the products.

7.      Classify chemical reaction types in more than one way.

8.      Distinguish between a molecular equation, complete ionic equation and net ionic equations (Note: these terms refer to reaction in aqueous solutions)

9.      Be able to write a dissociation equation for an ionic compound.

10.  Be able to write a net ionic equation for a precipitate reaction.

11.  Use solubility table to predict the products in precipitation reactions.

12.  Use activity series table to predict whether a single displacement reaction will occur.

13.  Define and distinguish between oxidation and reduction (generally refers to reactions between a metal and a nonmetal)

14.  Be aware that you should know how to use the tools (and notes) that you have been given… valence sheet, periodic table, solubility table, and activity series.
