Answer 1

1) reactants are the starting material of a chemical reaction and are written on the left hand side of the equation

while

products are the end result of the reaction and are written on the right hand side of the equation

a) The law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created nor be destroyed

b) reactants are the substances that start a chemical reaction and are located on the left hand side of the arrow in a chemical equation, while products are the substances produced from the reaction and are located on the right hand side of the arrow.

c)if the number of atoms in the reactants do not equal the number of atoms in the products we say the reaction is unbalanced if they do equal each other, we say the reaction is balanced

d) chemical equation can be defined as the symbolic representation of chemical reactions in which the reactants and products are expressed in terms of their respective chemical formulae

2) combination reaction

decomposition reaction

single replacement reaction

double replacement reaction

combustion reaction

2 i synthesis is the production of chemical compounds by reaction from simpler materials

ii. Decomposition means to break up into constituent part by or as if by a chemical process

iii. single replacement is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound

iv. Double replacement have two ionic compounds that are exchanging anions or cations

v. combustion means a chemical reaction between substances, usually including oxygen and usually accompanied by the generation of heat and light in form of flame.
