Chemical reaction: produces new substances by changing the way in which atoms are arranged.
Physical changes: a change in the state of a substance is an example of a physical change. the substance may have some different properties after a physical change, but it is still the same substance.
Chemical changes: a changes of onee substance into another substance.
Reactants and products:
Reactants are the substance present at the beginning of a chemical reaction.
Products are the substances formed by a chemical reaction.
During a chemical reaction,bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken and new bonds are formed in the products.
Evidence of chemical reactions:
color change substances often change color during a chemical reaction.
formation of a precipitate many chemical reaction form roducts that exist in a different physical sate from the reactants.
formation of a gas chemical reactions may produce a gas, like that often formed when antacid pills are mixed with excess stomach acid.
temperature change most chemical reactions involve a temperature change. sometimes this change can be inferred from the observation of a flame, as in the burning of the metal magnesium in the photograph.
Chemical reactions can be classified
Synthesis in a synthesis reaction, a new compound is formed by the combination of simple reactants.
Decomposition in a decomposition reaction, a reactant breaks down into simple products.
Combustion in a combustion reaction, one reactant is always oxygen and another reactant often contains carbon and hydrogen.
Concentration measures the number of particles present in a certain volume. A high concentration of reactants means that there is a large number of particles that can collide and react.
Surface area suppose one of the reactants in a chemical reaction is present as a single large piiece of material.
temperature the rate of a reaction can be increased by making the particles move faster. the most common way to make the particles move faster is to add energy to the reactants, which will raise their temperature.
Catalyst:
the rate of a reaction can be changed chemically by adding a catalyst.
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction but is not itself consumed in the reaction.
In living things, catalysts called enzymes are absolutely necessary for life.
