    Study Notes

    Chemical Changes Overview

    • Burning materials, such as wood or paper, represents a chemical change where new substances are formed.
    • Change in color, such as rusting, indicates a chemical transformation in materials.
    • Baking is a chemical change, exemplified by the process of transforming batter into a cake through heat.
    • A change in temperature can signify a chemical reaction, like a compost pile generating warmth or temperature alteration when combining liquids.

    Specific Examples of Chemical Changes

    • Ripening of fruits and vegetables is a natural chemical change that affects flavor and texture.
    • Cleaning a penny or rusted metal using vinegar and water induces a chemical reaction that removes oxidation.
    • The formation of bubbles when an effervescent tablet, such as Alka-Seltzer, is dissolved in water highlights a gas releasing reaction.

    Key Characteristics of Chemical Changes

    • Chemical changes differ from physical changes in that they result in new substances being created.
    • A catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction without being consumed, such as using salt to hasten the rusting of iron.
    • Raising the oven temperature increases cooking speed and enhances chemical changes occurring in food.
