Q

Molecular compound

A

All the molecules in a compound are identical in size and shape, and have the same number of atoms. Scientists represent the molecules of a compound using a molecular formula, it describes how many of each atom make up the molecule

35
Q

5 signs a Chemical reaction has occurred

A

Gas being released, colour change, new smell, solid (precipitate) is formed and temperature change

36
Q

Energy change

A

When a temperature change occurs, this indicate the energy has changed forms. Energy may be needed for the reaction to occur, or it may be produced as a result of the reaction. When a reaction occurs bonds can be broken or formed

37
Q

Endothermic Reaction

A

Heat is absorbed and the energy increases (absorbed from surroundings)

38
Q

Exothermic Reaction

A

Heat is released and energy is lost (released to the surroundings)

39
Q

Conservation of Mass law

A

In a closed system ( nothing goes in the system, nothing leaves the system), the mass of reactants in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the products after the reaction

40
Q

Why this happens (Law of conservation of mass)

A

During a chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed, the atoms of the reactants are just rearranged to from product and there is no change in the mass in a chemical equation

41
Q

Conservation of mass example

A

Methane (CH4) + Oxygen (O2) -> Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Water (H2O)
