1. Recognize Synthesis,Decomposition,Single Replacement,Double Replacement (including Neutralization), and Combustion given a chemical reaction.
2. Explain the significance of the coefficients of a balanced chemical reaction (number of particles and moles).
3. Balance chemical equations (by applying the law of conservation of mass).
Energy change and Chemical Reactions
4. Be able to explain what two characteristics are needed for an Effective Collision and that all change requires an energy change.
5. Be able to define Activation energy (Eac), activated complex, heat of reaction (ΔH), exothermic reaction/process, and endothermic reaction/process.
6. Be able to indicate the difference between PE of reactant compared to PE products (less than or greater than) for an exothermic reaction and for an endothermic reaction.
