34
  • L = loss

  • E = electron

  • O = oxidation

  • G = gains

  • E = electrons

  • R = reduction

what does “LEO says GER” stand for?

New cards
35

redox reaction

electrons are transferred between atoms

New cards
36

first law of thermodynamics

relates energy gained by a system to the energy lost by its surroundings

New cards
37

single-displacement reaction

an element in a compound is replaced by another element

New cards
38

double-displacement reaction

two compounds exchange atoms or ions

New cards
39

le chatelier’s principle

system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will react to partially offset the disturbance

New cards
40

neutralization

when a strong acid and strong base react to produce water and a salt

New cards
41

electroplating

electrolytic cells form a thin coating of metal on an object

New cards
42

buffer

doesn’t change in pH because it contains a weak acid and weak base

New cards
43
