Study Notes

Phase Changes and Chemical Reactions

Water exists as solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor) in nature
Water cycle involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
Ice floats on water due to lower density, allowing life to continue under frozen surfaces
Chemical reactions involve rearrangement of atoms/molecules to form new products
Five types of chemical reactions: combination, decomposition, single-replacement, double-replacement, combustion
Combination reaction involves combining two or more substances to form a new substance
Decomposition reaction breaks down a single substance into two or more components
Single-replacement reaction occurs when a single element replaces an ion in an ionic compound
Double-replacement reaction involves two ionic compounds swapping ions
Combustion reaction requires a hydrocarbon and oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water
Classifying chemical reactions by looking at the reactants and products can determine the type of reaction
Chemical changes have indicators such as heat/light release, color change, formation of precipitate, or gas formation
