Q

give an example of a conversion factor
explain what it means, how it can be used, and at least two different ways it can be written

A

A conversion factor is a number used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing. When a conversion is necessary, the appropriate conversion factor to an equal value must be used. For example, to convert inches to feet, the appropriate conversion value is 12 inches equals 1 foot.

76
Q

list some signs that may demonstrate that a chemical reaction has occurred

A

Various signs of a chemical reaction include:
Change in Color.
Formation of a Gas.
Formation of a Precipitate.

77
Q

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change?

A

Physical changes are those in which the shape, size, or state of the matter changes, but the substance is still essentially the same. For example, chopping up a carrot or ice melting into water are both physical changes. Chemical changes are those where one or more substances are combined to produce a new substance.

78
Q

What results in a chemical reaction occurring?

A

A chemical change occurs when the composition of a substance is changed, which requires the breaking and forming of chemical bonds during a chemical reaction.
