Study Notes

Laws and Concepts

Law of Conservation of Mass: Total mass of reactants equals total mass of products in a chemical reaction.
Law of Conservation of Energy: Total energy remains constant; it is transferred, not created or destroyed.
Chemical Reaction: Atoms rearrange, forming new substances with different properties.
Chemical Change: A change in matter where the substances change into entirely new substances.
Physical Property: Observed or measured without changing substance identity.
Chemical Property: Requires a chemical reaction to observe.
Potential Energy: Energy released when atoms form chemical bonds.
Product: Substance formed in a chemical reaction.
Reactant: Starting substance in a chemical reaction.
Coefficient: Number placed before a chemical formula to balance the equation.

Chemical Reactions: Signs and Characteristics

Signs of a Chemical Reaction:
- Odor change
- Energy change (light, heat, sound)
- Unexpected color change
- Gas formation (bubbles, fizzing)
- Formation of precipitate (solid)

Comparing Materials: Natural and Synthetic

Natural Material: Obtained directly from plants, animals, or the Earth (minimal modification).
Synthetic Material: Created from natural material(s) after chemical processing.

Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions

Endothermic Reaction: Absorbs more energy breaking bonds than releasing from product formation.
Exothermic Reaction: Releases more energy forming products than required to break bonds in reactants.

Additional Chemical Concepts

By-product: Secondary substance created during a reaction.
Precipitate: New solid formed during a chemical reaction.
Flammability: A substance's ability to burn easily.
Oxidation: A substance reacting with an oxidizing agent, turning it into a different substance.
Reactivity: A substance reacting with another to form a different substance.
Density: Mass per unit volume.
Mass: Amount of matter in an object.
Volume: Amount of space occupied.
Material: What substances are made of.
Chemical Formula: Symbols representing elements and atoms within a compound.
Compound: Two or more elements bonded together.
Meniscus: Curved surface of a liquid in a container.
Displacement: Change in liquid volume when an object is added.
Subatomic Particles: Parts of an atom (protons, neutrons, electrons).
Nucleus: Center of an atom with protons and neutrons.
Electron Cloud: Region around the nucleus holding electrons.
Ion: Charged atom.
Atomic Mass Unit (amu): Measurement of mass for a single proton.
