    Study Notes

    Fossil Fuels and Energy

    • Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of animals and plants that died millions of years ago.
    • Examples of fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas.
    • Fossil fuels are non-renewable, meaning they take millions of years to form and will eventually run out.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Oxidation is a chemical reaction where substances react with oxygen to form oxides.
    • Combustion is a chemical reaction where a substance reacts quickly with oxygen, releasing light and heat.
    • Decomposition is a chemical reaction where a compound breaks down into simpler compounds and/or elements.

    Chemical Equations

    • A word equation is a way to represent a chemical reaction, with reactants on the left and products on the right, separated by an arrow.
    • A balanced symbol equation uses chemical formulae to represent reactants and products, showing how atoms are rearranged and the relative amounts of reactants and products.

    Chemical Principles

    • Conservation of mass states that the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products in a chemical reaction.
    • Endothermic changes transfer energy from the surroundings, while exothermic changes transfer energy to the surroundings.

    General Terms

    • A hazard is a possible source of danger.
    • A reactant is a starting substance in a chemical reaction.
    • A product is a substance made in a chemical reaction.
    • A physical change is a reversible change, where new substances are not formed.
    • A discrete variable is one that can only have whole-number values.
