Chapter 6 Section 1 Chemical Reactions

Matter Matter can be described in terms of two kinds of properties. Changes in matter can be described in terms of physical changes and chemical changes.

Physical property Ability to change appearance It is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance into another substance. Ex: melting point, boiling point, color, hardness, texture, solubility, buoyancy

Chemical property- ability to form a new substance A chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to change into other substances. Ex. flammability, tarnishing, combustion, rusting

Physical changes- changes how it looks Any change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but that does not change it into something new. Ex: bending, crushing, breaking, cutting

Chemical change- forms new substance Chemical changes occur when bonds break and new bonds form. As a result, new substances are produced. Raw egg to a cooked egg…… Bleaching or perming your hair

Bonding Chemical changes occur when bonds break and new bonds form. = +

Geyser

Roasting Marshmallows

Evidence for chemical reactions: A color change A precipitate is formed (a solid that is formed from solution – pg. 188) Bubbles or gas produced A change of temperature

Examples of precipitates:

Physical Change or Chemical Change?

Changes in Energy Endothermic Reactions- reaction in which energy is absorbed Exothermic Reactions- reaction that releases energy in the form of heat

Examples A piece of metal is heated to a high temperature and changes to a liquid. When 2 solutions are poured into the same container, a powdery solid forms and settles to the bottom. Water left in a dish overnight disappeared by the next day. A blacksmith hammers a piece of red-hot iron into the shape of a knife blade.

Exothermic or Endothermic? Oil is burned An electric eel shocks its prey A cake bakes Someone strikes a match A flashbulb flashes on a camera Dead plant material decays producing warm compost Fireworks explode Clay turns to brick when it is heated in a kiln at high temperatures Chemical reactions occur in a battery A firefly flashes its light
