7. It is important that a chemical equation be balanced because of the Law of the Conversation of
Mass which states that mass can not be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

8. Evidence that a chemical change has occurred are: temperature or color changes, a gas is evolved,
precipitation, and lastly a change of odor can occur.

9. A skeleton equation is just the elements and what state of matter to is without balancing the
equation. However in a chemical equation, the skeletal equation is balanced.

10. We want to have the small whole-number ratio needed to identify the fewest number of particles of
the substance involved in the reaction.

11. No because the chemical compositions and reactions wouldn’t be the same anymore befase we
are making a new substance that has di erent chemical properties.

12. The equation is not correct. The correct equation is:

29. Synthesis: when two elements or compound react to produce one compound. Combustion: when
an element or compound reacts with oxygen to release heat, carbon dioxide, and water.
Decomposition: when a single compound decomposes into two or more elements or compounds.
Replacement reaction: when one ion replaces another in a reaction

30. The activity series is arranged from most active to least active. This determines whether a metal
con replace another metal in a single replacement reaction.

31. In a single-replacement reaction the lone element replaces the metal in the other compound to
make another compound. In a double-replacement reaction the metals and nonmetals switch places to
make new a new compound.

32. When the two ions of the two ionic compounds are exchanged, the two compounds are generated.
The newly formed compounds can be in solids, liquids, or gases.

33. It is a synthesis reaction:

34. The reaction would work because it would be a single replacement reaction.

50. The three main types of reactions that occur in aqueous solutions are precipitation, water, and gas.

51. An aqueous solution is a compound or element that has been dissolved in water.

52. The complete ionic equation includes the participant molecules in a single or double replacement
reaction. It doesn’t include the spectator ions.
