What is a chemical property?What is a chemical property?

A characteristic A characteristic of a substance of a substance that describes its that describes its ability to ability to changechange into other into other substancessubstances

Examples: Examples: burning burning magnesium, magnesium, rustingrusting

What is the difference between a What is the difference between a physical and a chemical physical and a chemical

reaction?reaction? A change in matter A change in matter

that produces one that produces one or more or more newnew substances is a substances is a chemical chemical changechange, or , or chemical chemical reactionreaction

Physical change Physical change examples: braiding examples: braiding your hair, squashing your hair, squashing a a marshmallowmarshmallow

Chemical change Chemical change examples: examples: burningburning of gasoline, burning of gasoline, burning a marshmallowa marshmallow

How can you tell when a How can you tell when a chemical reaction occurs?chemical reaction occurs?

Chemical changes Chemical changes occur when bonds occur when bonds breakbreak and new and new bonds bonds formform

Chemical reactions Chemical reactions involve two main involve two main kinds of changes kinds of changes that you can that you can observe-formation observe-formation of new of new substancessubstances and changes in and changes in energyenergy

What are some changes in What are some changes in properties that indicate a properties that indicate a

chemical change?chemical change? Precipitate – a Precipitate – a

solidsolid that forms that forms from a solution from a solution during a chemical during a chemical reactionreaction

ColorColor change may change may indicate a indicate a chemical reactionchemical reaction

Gas production – Gas production – bubblesbubbles

How do you categorize changes How do you categorize changes in energy?in energy?

Endothermic – A Endothermic – A reaction in which reaction in which energy is energy is absorbedabsorbed– Examples: baking Examples: baking

soda and vinegar soda and vinegar gets cooler when gets cooler when combinedcombined

Exothermic – A Exothermic – A reaction that reaction that releasesreleases energy in energy in the form of the form of heatheat– Examples: burning Examples: burning

of airplane fuelof airplane fuel

Section 2: Describing chemical reactionsSection 2: Describing chemical reactionsWhat information does a chemical equation What information does a chemical equation

contain?contain? Chemical equations Chemical equations

use chemical use chemical formulasformulas and other and other symbols instead of symbols instead of words to summarize words to summarize a reactiona reaction

Reactants – Reactants – substances you substances you have at the have at the beginningbeginning

Products – new Products – new substances substances produced when the produced when the reaction is reaction is completecomplete

What does the principle of What does the principle of conservation of mass state?conservation of mass state?

That in a That in a chemical chemical reaction, the total reaction, the total massmass of the of the reactantsreactants must must equal the total equal the total mass of the mass of the productsproducts

Matter is neither Matter is neither created nor created nor destroyeddestroyed

What must a balanced chemical What must a balanced chemical equation show?equation show?

The same The same numbernumber of of each type of each type of atomatom on both sides of the on both sides of the equationequation

Represents the Represents the conservation of conservation of massmass

Coefficients – a Coefficients – a number placed in number placed in frontfront of a chemical of a chemical formula in an formula in an equation that tells equation that tells you how many you how many atomsatoms or molecules or molecules of a reactant or of a reactant or product take place product take place in the reactionin the reaction

How do you balance chemical equations?How do you balance chemical equations?

Count the # of Count the # of atomsatoms of of each element in the each element in the reactants & productsreactants & products

ID element that is ID element that is notnot equal equal on both sideson both sides

Add Add coefficientcoefficient to the front to the front of the formula that will of the formula that will make the # = on both sides make the # = on both sides for that elementfor that element

All chemical All chemical reactions need a reactions need a certain amount of certain amount of activation activation energyenergy to get startedto get started

What factors affect the rate of a What factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction?chemical reaction?

SurfaceSurface area – the greater the surface area that area – the greater the surface area that faster the reaction (ex. Chewing)faster the reaction (ex. Chewing)

TemperatureTemperature – raising the temperature causes – raising the temperature causes particles to move faster and therefore have more particles to move faster and therefore have more energy; they also come into contact more often; energy; they also come into contact more often; lowering temperature slows things down lowering temperature slows things down

Concentration – amount of substance in a given Concentration – amount of substance in a given volumevolume; increased concentration-increased ; increased concentration-increased reactionreaction

Catalysts – increases the rate of a Catalysts – increases the rate of a reactionreaction by by decreasing the energy needed to startdecreasing the energy needed to start– Enzymes: biological catalystsEnzymes: biological catalysts

Inhibitors – material used to Inhibitors – material used to decreasedecrease the rate of the rate of reaction (ex. preservatives in food)reaction (ex. preservatives in food)
