16
Q

Vapor

A

A gaseous state of a substance that is a solid or a liquid at room temperature.

17
Q

Physical changes

A

Changes that alter a substance without changing its composition

18
Q

Melting and boiling points are:

A

Phase changes which are important physical properties that may be used to identify unknown substances

19
Q

Chemical change

A

A process that involves one or more substances changing into new substances, commonly referred to chemical reaction

20
Q

In chemical reactions what are the starting and new substances called?

A

Starting substances: reactants

New substances: products

21
Q

Some terms used to describe chemical reactions are:

A

Explode, rust, oxidize, tarnish, ferment, burn, or rot

22
Q

A chemical reaction always produces:

A

A change in properties/ evidence that a chemical reaction has taken place

23
Q

The law of conservation of mass

A

States that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction - it is conserved

Mass reactants = Mass products
