Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reaction: Substances react to form new substances with different chemical properties.
Definitions
- Reactants: Substances that react with each other.
- Products: Substances formed from the reaction.
- Chemical change: A reaction that forms new products.
- Physical change: A change in state (phase) without changing the chemical form.
Parts of a Chemical Reaction
- Reactants are the starting substances.
- Products are the substances formed in the reaction.
- Example: 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)
- Reactants: 2H₂ (g) , O₂(g)
- Product: 2H₂O(l)
How to Tell if a Chemical Reaction is Taking Place
- Color change
- Gas production (bubbles, fizzing)
- Temperature change (heat or cold)
- Formation of a precipitate (solid forming from a liquid)
- Smell
Examples of Chemical Changes
- Burning wood
- Rotting fruit
- Baking a cake
- Rusting metal
- Using a battery
- Digestion
- Souring milk
- Exploding fireworks
- Cooking an egg
- Photosynthesis
Class Activity
- Examples of chemical changes.
- Signs of chemical change for each example.

- Research examples of exothermic and endothermic reactions on page 55
Chemical Change
- Chemical change: New products are formed when old bonds break and new bonds form between products, resulting in a new product/molecule.
- Example: Rust
Phase Change
- Physical change: When a substance changes phases (solid, liquid, gas) the molecule remains the same, and it can return to its original form.
- Example: Water changing to steam
Energy Changes
- Exothermic reactions: More energy is given out than is required. Energy is lost to the surroundings, and the product is colder than the reactants.
- Example: Burning a candle
- Endothermic reactions: More energy has to be put in than is given out. Energy is taken from the surroundings, and the product is warmer than the reactants.
- Example: Baking bread
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combustion
- Synthesis
- Acid-base reactions
- Decomposition
Combustion
- Oxygen combines with a compound to form carbon dioxide and water.
- Example: Fuel + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Synthesis
- Two molecules interact to form a different molecule.
- Example: A + B → AB
Acid-Base Reactions
- A chemical reaction between an acid and a base forms water and a salt.
- Example: Acid + Base → H₂O + Salt
Decomposition
- A reactant breaks down into two or more products.
- Example: AB → A + B
Balancing Chemical Equations
- The number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation.
