- a solution in which the solvent is water
- aqeuous solution
- a statement using chemical formulas to describe the identities and relative amounts of the reactants and products involved in the chemical reaction
- chemical equation
- the process by which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form different substances; occurrence can be indicated by changes in temperature, color, odor, and physical state
- chemical reaction
- in a chemical equation, the number written in front of a reactant or product; tells the smallest number of particles of the substance involved in the reaction
- coefficient
- a chemical reaction that occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of heat and light
- combustion reaction
- an ionic equation that shows all the particles in a solution as they realistically exist
- complete ionic equation
- a chemical reaction that occurs when a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds
- decomposition reaction
- a chemical reaction that involves the exchange of positive ions between two compounds and produces either a precipitate, a gas, or water.
- double-replacement reaction
- an ionic equation that includes only the particles that participate in the reaction
- net ionic equation
- a solid produced during a chemical reaction in a solution
- precipitate
- a substance formed during a chemical reaction
- product
- the starting substance in a chemical reaction
- reactant
- a chemical reaction that occurs when the atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element in a compound
- single-replacement reaction
- a substance dissolved in a solution
- solute
- the substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution
- solvent
- an ion that does not participate in a reaction and usually is not shown in an ionic equation
- spectator ion
- a chemical reaction in which two ore more substances react to yield a single product
- synthesis reaction
