    Study Notes

    Evidence of a Chemical Reaction

    • Temperature change can indicate a chemical reaction.
    • Many reactions release energy as heat and light.
    • Other reactions absorb heat.
    • Color change can indicate a chemical reaction.
    • Odor, gas bubbles, and the formation of a solid are also indicators of chemical change.

    Representing Chemical Reactions

    • Equations are used to represent chemical reactions.
    • They show the reactants (starting substances) and products (substances formed).

    Word Equations

    • Express reactants and products in words.
    • They lack information about the number of atoms involved.

    Skeleton Equations

    • Show symbols and formulas for reactants and products.
    • They also lack information about the number of atoms involved.

    Chemical Equations

    • Use chemical formulas to show the identities and relative amounts of the substances involved in a chemical reaction.

    Balancing Chemical Equations

    • A coefficient is the number written in front of a reactant or product.
    • Balancing ensures the Law of Conservation of Mass is obeyed.

    Steps for Balancing Equations

    • Write the skeleton equation for the reaction.
    • Count the atoms of each element in the reactants.
    • Count the atoms of each element in the products.
    • Change the coefficients to make the number of each element equal on both sides of the equation. This shows that atoms are conserved.
    • Write the coefficients in their lowest possible ratio.
    • Check your work.

    Chemical Reactions

    • The process by which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form different substances is called a chemical reaction.
    • Another name for a chemical reaction is a chemical change.
