In all chemical reactions there is a conservation of mass, energy, and charge. (3.3a)
A balanced chemical equation represents conservation of atoms. The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation can be used to determine mole ratios in the reaction. (3.3c)
Types of chemical reactions include synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. (3.2b)
A physical change results in the rearrangement of existing particles in a substance. A chemical change results in the formation of different substances with changed properties. (3.2a)
Chemical and physical changes can be exothermic or endothermic. (4.1b)
The formula mass of a substance is the sum of the atomic masses of its atoms. The molar mass (gram formula mass) of a substance equals one mole of that substance. (3.3e)
The percent composition by mass of each element in a compound can be calculated mathematically. (3.3f)
Types of chemical formulas include empirical, molecular, and structural. (3.1ee)
The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of the elements in a compound. It may be different from the molecular formula, which is the actual ratio of atoms in a molecule of that compound. (3.3d)
A chemical compound can be represented by a specific chemical formula and assigned a name based on the IUPAC system. (3.1cc)
