11.1 Chemical changes Flashcards
What are the 2 groups chemical changes can be classified into?
1.) 2/more substances combine to form 1/more new substances
2.) substance breaks down into 2/ more new substances
Physical changes
Chemical changes
-X new substances are formed
-changes can be reversed.
-1/more new substances are formed
-changes are not easily reversed.
draw carbon dioxide as a word equation
H4 + O2 =
C + O2 = CO2
the number of atoms in reactants and products are equal-T/F
T the number of atoms in reactants and products are equal
What are the different type of chemical changes?
-Combustion
-Oxidation
-Thermal decomposition
What is combustion?
-chemical reaction in which a substance is heated in the presence of O2 to form 1/more new substances
-heat/light is usually given out during combustion
What is thermal decomposition
-chemical reaction in which a substance breaks down into 2/more simpler substances upon heating
What is oxidation?
-Substance gains O2 and undergoes a chemical change called oxidation
-EG; rusting-iron + O2
-EG; cellular respiration-glucose = O2
