Study Notes
- A chemical reaction involves atoms of substances rearranging to form new substances.
- In a chemical reaction, the original bonds of molecules or compounds break, and new ones form in new substances.
- A chemical equation uses element symbols and chemical formulas to describe a reaction.
- Reactants are the starting substances in a chemical reaction, and products are the substances produced.
- The law of conservation of mass: the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products in a chemical reaction.
- Balanced equations are those that show that the amounts of each type of atom are equal on both sides of the equation.
- Balancing occurs by adding coefficients, which are numbers in front of element symbols or chemical formulas.
Signs of a Chemical Change
- Change in color, e.g., tarnish or rust
- Change in odor, e.g., rotting or burning food, or HCl and zinc mixing
- Formation of bubbles, e.g., vinegar and baking soda producing CO2

Chemical Energy in Bonds
- Energy is released in a chemical reaction and comes from the chemical energy contained in chemical bonds.
- Breaking a chemical bond absorbs energy from the surroundings.
- Forming a chemical bond releases energy to the surroundings.
- The energy in chemical bonds and the energy absorbed or released is always conserved.
Endothermic Reactions
- Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions that absorb thermal energy ex: photosynthesis
