same rate.
Complete the following statements.
17. A reaction where the temperature is known to be high is a(n) exothermic reaction.
18. A chemical reaction that produces only one product is synthesis.
19. A chemical reaction that starts with only one reactant and forms two products is decomposition.
20. A chemical reaction that absorbs energy is endothermic.
21. The general formula A + BC AC + B illustrates a single- replacement reaction.
22. The arrow in a chemical reaction can mean produces, yields or forms.
23. A reaction that starts and ends with two compounds is double-replacement.
24. A catalyst is a substance that is not used up in a reaction.
25. In a compound, energy is contained in the chemical bonds.
26. The burning of a candle is an example of a combustion reaction.
27. In order to follow the Law of Conservation of Mass if you start with 98 grams of reactant you must end with
