    Conservation of Energy

    The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant.

    What happens to the energy stored in chemical bonds during an exothermic reaction?

    The energy stored in the chemical bonds of the reactants is converted into heat and light, which are released into the surroundings. The products have less stored energy than the reactants.

    How is energy conserved in chemical reactions?

    The total amount of energy remains constant, even though it changes forms. The energy stored in the bonds of the reactants equals the energy released plus the energy stored in the bonds of the products.

    Why can't we change subscripts to balance equations?

    Changing subscripts changes the chemical composition of the substance, creating a different compound. We can't make water into hydrogen peroxide just by changing a subscript!
