2B-Physical & Chemical Changes of Matter Flashcards
physical change
alters the physical state of a substance without changing its chemical composition or forming a new product ie:melting of metal, condensation of a liquid, tearing a piece of paper, breaking a drinking glass
chemical change
chemical reaction accurs, bonds are broken and formed creating new products that have different chemical properties from the original
3 types of chemical change reactions
neutralization reaction:equal combination acid & base
decomposition reaction: break down of larger molecule
synthesis reaction: combine to form larger molecule
law of conservation of mass and energy
Antoine Lavoisier: states that atoms and energy cannot be destroyed in a chemical reaction
Potential Energy
stored energy
Kinetic energy
the energy of motion or action
energy is measured with 2 units
joule and calorie (cal) the amount of energy needed to raise the temp of 1g of water 1-degree Celsius. 1 cal= 4.184 Joules(j)
6 main forms of Energy that can be transformed and transferred
1 Chemical 2 electrical 3 mechanical 4 nuclear 5 radiant 6 thermal
