Chapter 5 Flashcards
physical change
appearance of substance changes but not its composition
Chemical change
substances react to form new substances with new formulas and properties
iron nail + oxygen =
rust
fuel + air =
co2 and water
what does a chemical change produce?
one or more new substances
7 types of visible evidence of a chemical reaction
- change in color
- Formation of gas (bubbles)
- Formation of a solid (precipitate)
- Heat (or a flame) produced or heat absorbed
- Production of line
- Changes in odor
- Changes in electrical or magnetic properties
Chemical reactions
- old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed
- atoms in the reactants are rearranged to form one or more different substances
Chemical equation
gives the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left of the arrow and the products on the right
symbols used in chemical equations show
-3 things
- the states of the reactants
- the states of the products
- the reaction conditions
Conservation of mass
- atoms are not lost or gained
- the number of each atom in the reactants is equal to the number of each atom in the products
in a balanced chemical equation what must there be?
the same number of each type of atom on the reactant side and on the product side
Coefficients
- in balanced equations
- used in front of one or more formulas
