Q

In a chemical reaction are the properties different ?

A

Yes the properties of the product are different to the properties of the reactant . A new substance is made

17
Q

What is a decomposition reaction ?

A

This is wher compunds break down into simpler compounds or elements

18
Q

What are the products of a thermal decomposition reaction of lead carbonate

A

Lead carbonated => lead oxide + carbon dioxide

19
Q

What is a discrete variable

A

This is something that is described by words or by numbers that can only have a certain value such as a shoe size

20
Q

What is a exothermic reaction ?

A

This is a reaction that gives out more heat energy to the surroundings than they take in so they feel hot and the tempreture rises

21
Q

What is and endothermic reaction ?

A

This is where it takes in more heat from the surroundings than they give out so they feel cold and the tempreture falls
