Study Notes
Law of Conservation of Mass
- Total mass of reactants before reaction equals total mass of products after reaction.
Chemical Reaction
- Atoms rearrange to form new substances.
- Same as chemical change.
Natural Materials
- Obtained from plants, animals, or Earth.
- Undergo little to no modification.
Synthetic Materials
- Made from natural materials.
- Undergo chemical reactions in labs or factories.
Law of Conservation of Energy
- Total energy remains constant.
- Energy is transferred, not created or destroyed.
- Constant transfer between bonds and surroundings.
Precipitate
- Formation of a new solid as a product of a chemical reaction.
By-Product
- Secondary product from manufacturing or a chemical reaction.
Chemical Change
- Substances change into different substances.
- Different chemical/physical properties.
Potential Energy
- Energy released when atoms form chemical bonds.
Property
- Observable characteristics of matter.
- Observed when matter changes identity.
Reaction
- Atoms rearrange to form new substances.
Physical Property
- Characteristic of matter, observed/measured without changing identity.
Coefficient
- Numbers in front of elements/chemical formulas in equations.
Endothermic Reaction
- More energy needed to break reactant bonds than released when products form.
Exothermic Reaction
- More energy released when products form than needed to break reactant bonds.
Flammability
- Ability of matter to burn easily.
Oxidation
- Substance reacts with oxidizing agents, changing to a new substance.
Reactivity
- Substance reacts with another, changing to a new substance.
Density
- Mass per unit volume of a substance.
Mass
- Amount of matter in an object.
Volume
- Amount of space a substance occupies.
Material
- Matter from which a substance is made.
Product
- Substance formed by a chemical reaction.
Reactant
- Starting substance in a chemical reaction.
Technology
- Practical use of scientific knowledge, especially in industry or commerce.
Subatomic Particles
- Parts within an atom (protons, neutrons, electrons).
Nucleus
- Center of atom, contains protons and neutrons.
Electron Cloud
- Outer part of atom, surrounds nucleus, contains electrons.
Ion
- Atom with a positive (+) or negative (-) charge.
Atomic Mass Unit (amu)
- Measurement of mass for 1 proton (1.7 x 10-24 g).
Chemical Formula
- Symbols & numbers representing elements and atoms in a compound (e.g., C6H12O6).
Compound
- Two or more elements bonded together (e.g., H2O). Not single elements (e.g., O2).
Meniscus
- Curved surface of a liquid in a container, used to measure volume accurately.
Displacement
- Change in liquid volume due to adding an object.
Signs of Chemical Reactions
- Odor change (gas formation)
- Energy change (light, temperature, sound)
- Unexpected color change
- Gas formation (bubbles, fizz)
- Formation of new solid (precipitate)
Physical vs. Chemical Properties/Changes
- Physical properties identified without changing substance identity. Chemical properties require a reaction & change in identity.
Bond Formation/Breaking in Chemical Reactions
- -(no details provided)
Balancing Chemical Equations
- -(no details provided)
Reading Chemical Formulas
- -(no details provided)
Products vs. Reactants in Equations
- Products are formed. Reactants are starting materials.
Endothermic/Exothermic Reactions
- -(no details provided)
Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter
- Matter is neither created nor destroyed.
Law of Conservation of Energy
- Energy is neither created nor destroyed.
Natural vs. Synthetic Materials
- Natural materials are directly from nature.
- Synthetic materials are chemically altered from natural material.
- Natural materials: generally simpler impact.
- Synthetic materials: potential for greater impacts due to altered composition and complexity.
