BOOM BOOM REACTIONS!

I have learned how to balance...CHEMICAL EQUATIONS! There are so many types of reactions, but we only have learned about single replacement, double replacement, combustion, and synthesis. To increase a reactions rate you have to increase the temperature, surface area, or concentration. Catalysts also speed up the reaction rate without being sucked into the reaction.


Some reactions that happen every day is iron turning into rust! I also saw one first hand when Mr.Olson smashed cannon balls covered in aluminum foil creating sparks. My favorite was the gas turning into flame, but I kept thinking the roof was going to burn down.
