G10 Unit 26 Chemical Reactions and Chemical Change Flashcards
a substance changes physical appearance but its composition remains the same
physical change
involves a change in the identity of the original substance
chemical change
refer to processes in which a new substance is made from the rearrangement of atoms in the molecules or compounds
Chemical reactions
insoluble solid formed when two solutions are mixed together.
Soap, which contains stearate, forms an insoluble solid (calcium stearate or “soap
scum”) with magnesium and calcium ions present in the Epsom salt solution.
precipitate
Indicators of Chemical Changes
Changes in color, texture, or other observable characteristics
Formation of precipitates
Effervescence or bubbling
bubble formation in a solution
Effervescence
energy, in general, is absorbed the process is said to be _
endergonic
when energy is released the process is said to be _
exergonic
if it absorbs heat
endothermic
if it releases heat
exothermic
