Intro to Chemical Reaction Q

DUE: Thursday, October 30th

1) Describe precipitation reactions and provide an example.
2) Define precipitate and provide an example.
3) Write the solubility rules for ionic compounds. This should lead you to be able to predict precipitates.
4) Define the term “acid” and provide an example of a typical acid.
5) Define the term “base” and provide an example of a typical base.
6) Describe two ways how you can determine the acidity of a solution.
7) Describe acid-base reactions and provide an example.
8) Define the terms “oxidation” and “reduction.”
9) Provide an example of an atom that is oxidized in a chemical reaction. You must provide both its form as a reactant and as a product.
10) Provide an example of an atom that is reduced in a chemical reaction. You must provide both its form as a reactant and as a product.
11) Describe oxidation-reduction reactions and provide an example.
12) What are five easily detectable signs (so you can use one or more of your five senses) that a chemical reaction has taken place?
