Lessons
- 1Writing & Balancing Chemical EquationsHow to turn a description of a reaction into a correctly balanced chemical equation that obeys the law of conservation of mass.11 questions
- 2Synthesis & Decomposition ReactionsTwo opposite reaction patterns: combining simple substances into one compound, and breaking one compound apart into simpler substances.11 questions
- 3Combustion ReactionsWhat happens when hydrocarbons burn — and why the amount of available oxygen determines whether combustion is complete or incomplete.11 questions
- 4Single Displacement ReactionsHow one element can push another out of a compound — and how the activity series predicts whether that will actually happen.11 questions
- 5Double Displacement ReactionsHow two ionic compounds in solution can swap partners — and how solubility rules predict whether a solid precipitate will form.11 questions
- 6Total & Net Ionic EquationsHow to strip a formula equation down to only the ions that actually participate in a reaction, removing the spectators that don't.10 questions
- 7Recognizing Reaction Patterns & Predicting ProductsPulling every reaction type together: recognizing acid-base, acid-carbonate, acid-metal, and combustion patterns to predict products of an unfamiliar reaction.11 questions
