These are the five main types of chemical reactions :
Note, in combustion reactions, if not enough Oxygen is present, deadly Carbon monoxide will be produced instead of Carbon dioxide.
READ these sections to learn more about these reaction types in the Chemistry text: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ARNbGsVH1evCZGQ5MjluM2dfOTNjOWQ3YjJmNw&hl=en
SEE the following power point demonstration for more information on these types of reactions.
It is **not** necessary for you to read the sections on Ionic compounds in the ppt presentation.

Chemical Kinetics and Chemical Equilibrium
We've learned about balancing Chemical reactions, but we haven't talked about HOW FAST they are, or, when all is said and done, HOW MUCH of the reactants are left, and HOW MUCH product is produced.
READ the following section of our CHEMISTRY textbook to learn more about
(1) Chemical equilibrium and
(2) Chemical Kinetics
DEFINE each of these phrases in your own words.
GIVE an EXAMPLE of why each of these phrases is important if you are a chemist.

- HOW FAST they run is part of the study of Reaction rate, or CHEMICAL KINETICS.
- HOW MUCH product is produced, and how much of the reactants is left, is part of the study of
- Chemical EQUILIBRIUM.

Major Arteries and Veins from the American Medical Association (AMA)
This is an overview of the major blood vessels in the circulatory system...
These are the major arteries in the body
and these are the major veins...

Systemic blood circulation, Arteries and Veins
This is a simplified diagram of how blood flows through your body.
From your heart, blood goes to the lungs (to get oxygenated, and to eliminate the CO2), then goes to the
HEAD, ARMS, LEGS, LIVER, SMALL Intestine, KIDNEYS and LEGS.
(Of course, it goes to all parts of your body, but this is a simplification).
CLICK the DIAGRAMS to get a LARGER VIEW.
Note the names of the major veins and arteries involved.(e.g., Carotid arteries and Jugular veins for the head).
Here is a comparison of the differences between ARTERIES and VEINS.
Note that Arteries ALWAYS carry blood away from the heart. They usually carry oxygenated blood, except in the case of the pulmonary artery.
Veins ALWAYS carry blood towards the heart. They usually have deoxygenated blood, except in the case of the pulmonary vein.

Human Heart Anatomy
Here is the basic internal anatomy of the human heart.
It consists of 2 sides (Right and Left)...
4 chambers (Right atrium, Right ventricle, Left atrium, Left ventricle)
4 valves (Tricuspid valve, Mitral valve, Pulmonary valve, Aortic Valve)
4 major blood vessels (Superior/inferior vena cavae, Pulmonary Vein, Pulmonary Artery, Aorta)
(from WIKIPEDIA)
The following applet, on the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.gov website, has several movies showing the circulation of the blood, and various problems that can occur with it. YOUR JOB is to watch the following movie, WRITE DOWN the major parts of the heart, and DEFINE them. You do NOT have to diagram the heart (for this homework).
See the following link for the applet: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/hhw/hhw_pumping.html
Balancing chemical equations
Here are the steps to balancing a chemical equation.
Here's a brief summary:
(1) Law of Conservation of Mass: For each element, the number of atoms on the left and the right of the equation are the same (e.g., 3H2 on the left and 2H on the right is NOT Ok).
(2) To balance the equation, you can ONLY change the coefficients, NOT the subscripts (e.g., changing CO2 to 3CO2 is OK. Changing CO2 to CO4 is not.)
(3) To calculate the number of atoms for each atom, you MULTIPLY the coefficient times the subscripts (e.g., 3 CO2 = 3 Carbons and 6 Oxygens)
(4) You MUST have only integer coefficients when you are finished (e.g., 6.5 O2 is not ok, 13 O2 is ok)
(5) You MUST have the lowest possible integer coefficients when you are finished

STEP 2:
STEP 3: Balance the Hydrogens
STEP 4: Balance the Oxygens
FINAL STEP: Make sure all coefficients are integers!

- K4Fe(CN)6 + H2SO4 + H2O = K2SO4 + FeSO4 + (NH4)2SO4 + CO
- C6H5COOH + O2 = CO2 + H2O
- K4Fe(CN)6 + KMnO4 + H2SO4 = KHSO4 + Fe2(SO4)3 + MnSO4 + HNO3 + CO2 + H2O
