Chemical reactions Flashcards
Give examples of some everyday chemical reactions
-Cake baking and rising
-digesting food
-a bicycle rusting
what are the indicators of a chemical reaction
1) a colour change
2) An energy change ( sound, heat, light)
3) A solid is formed ( precipitate)
what is always made in a chemical reaction
a new substance/compound
what change always happens in a chemical reaction
In a chemical reaction there is always an ENERGY CHANGE. Sometimes energy is released, other times it is absorbed.
