Chemistry Module 3 Flashcards
1
Q
what happens in a chemical reaction?
A
- formation of a new substance
- eg. electrolysis of water, breaks down to h2 at the cathode and o2 at the anode
2
Q
what happens in a physical reaction?
A
- no formation of new substance
- change in shape of state
- eg. freezing of water to ice
3
Q
indicators of chemical change?
A
- change in temperature
- change in colour: cooling of vessel changes 2no (red/brown colour) to n2o4 (colourless)
- formation of odour
- formation of a precipitate: silver nitrate + potassium chloride; from transparent to opaque
- formation of bubble (gas): electrolysis
