TEN: Chapter 3- Chemical Change Flashcards
Physical property
Properties that describe the physical appearance and composition of a substance
Change to a substance in which the composition of the substance stays the same
Ex:
Malleability, crystal shape, streak test, state, ductility, conductivity, solubility, mass, toxicity, volume, temp, color
Chemical property
Properties that describe the reactivity of a substance
Change to a substance that always results in the formation of a different substance or substances
Five clues to a chemical reaction occurrence
A new substance has been created, bubbles or a gas released, changing temp, colour change, a precipitate forms
Exothermic reaction
A chemical reaction that releases energy, usually in the form of heat or light or electricity
Endothermic reaction
Chemical reaction that absorbs energy
Biochemical reactions
Maybe either endothermic or exothermic. Characteristics bio chemical reaction include reactions that are essential to life. Two important bio chemical reactions are photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Photosynthesis
Means putting together with light
Photo-light
Synthesis-putting together
It is a chemical process in which carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, in the presence of light and energy that is glucose and oxygen
Cellular respiration
Breakdown of glucose small molecules to release chemical energy that a cell can use
Physical change
A change that doesn’t result in the change of the substance but how it looks
Chemical change
A change that results in a completely different substance than the first
Difference between a chemical and physical change
It’s can be in different states and look different if it is a physical change, whereas I chemical change results in a new substance
The conservation of mass: Antoine Lavoisier
The total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of all the products
A chemical reaction must contain the following
Correct formula for each reactant and product, physical state of each reactant and product, must be balanced
Balancing guidelines
Start with the element that is the longest subscript, keep the polyatomic ion’s together if they appear on both sides of the reaction, leave elements until last, multiply to increase the number of Atoms or groups, write water as HOH in reactions that have the hydroxide ion in them, move back-and-forth as you balance
Types of reactions: five
Formation, single decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, combustion and other
