Study Notes

Chemical Reactions

  • Chemical reactions occur in everyday life, such as milk spoiling, vegetables wilting, and candles burning.
  • These reactions demonstrate chemical changes, transforming the initial substances into new ones.

Chemical Reactions as Chemical Changes

  • Chemical changes involve altering the composition and identity of substances through chemical reactions.

Activity 1.3: Burning Magnesium Ribbon

  • Magnesium ribbon reacts with air when heated, producing a white powder called Magnesium Oxide.
  • The experiment collects the Magnesium Oxide product on a watch glass.
  • Magnesium ribbon burns with a bright white light and produces a white powder as a result of the chemical reaction.
  • The white powder, Magnesium Oxide, is a new substance formed from the reaction.
  • This demonstrates how a chemical reaction changes the nature of a substance, resulting in a new product.
