Study Notes

Introduction

  • Matter constantly changes forms, from snow melting to wood burning.
  • Matter is made up of tiny molecules, and changes occur when these molecules are rearranged.
  • Matter is neither created nor destroyed in observable natural processes.
  • Changes in matter are classified as physical or chemical.

Physical Changes

  • Physical changes alter the form or appearance of matter but do not change its chemical composition.
  • Examples include melting, freezing, boiling, and dissolving.
  • These changes are often reversible and temporary.
  • Physical properties like shape, size, colour, and state are affected.
  • No new substances are formed in physical changes.

Chemical Changes

  • Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different properties.
  • Examples include burning, rusting, and cooking.
  • Chemical changes are generally not reversible.
  • The composition of the original matter is altered.
  • New substances with different properties emerge.

Evidence of Chemical Change

  • Change in color
  • Change in odor
  • Production of heat or light
  • Formation of gas bubbles

Chemical Equations

  • Chemical equations represent chemical reactions.
  • Reactants are written on the left, products on the right, separated by an arrow.
  • The number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation (law of conservation of mass).

Balancing Equations

  • Balancing ensures that the number of atoms of each element is conserved during a chemical reaction.
  • Coefficients are used to adjust the numbers of molecules to balance the equation.

Types of Chemical Reactions

  • Combination: Two or more substances combine to form a new substance(s).
  • Decomposition: A single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
  • Displacement (Single Replacement): One element displaces another element in a compound.
  • Double Displacement: Two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.

Conservation of Mass

  • The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
