Test Flashcards
What is the chemical reaction?
A chemical reaction takes place when two or more substances combine to make one or more new substances
What is a physical change?
A physical change is where are known as substances are made, but there is a change an appearance of a chemical physical changes are not chemical reactions. Examples of physical changes include state changes like changing from a solid to liquid and dissolving physical changes are usually reversible.
What are everyday chemical reactions?
Some Aphrodite chemical reactions are cooking rock fuel, burning and digestion, but some not so useful. Chemical reactions is mould growing explosions if not planned and rusting.
What is a reactant?
And a chemical reaction the starting substances are called reactants
What are products?
Products are new substances formed from reactants
What is the chemical change word problem?
Reactants➡️ products
How can you identify if a chemical reaction has taken place?
There is a change of colour
Change of temperature
Bubbles of a gas are produced
A perseverate forms (a solid produced when two liquids react)
Light or sound is given out(other forms of energy)
What is an example of a chemical reaction?
One example is an iron nail and copper sulphate solution. The iron nail goes slightly red.
Another example is magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid the solution fizzled
What is a reaction rate?
A reaction rate is how quickly a reaction happens
What is a collision?
Chemical reactions only happen when reactants are in contact with each other the reactant particles need to bump into each other for a reaction to a car when the reactant particles do this we call it a collision
The more collisions there are between reactants the what happens to the reaction rate
Faster
What are some examples of a reaction which scientist tried to
Cooking and manufacturing fertiliser
Give an example of reaction rate which scientist try to slow down
Spoiling and rusting
How does a higher temperature affect the reaction rate?
A higher temperature equals fast moving particles and more collections
How does a lower temperature affect a reaction rate?
A lower temperature equals slow moving particles in less collisions
