Physical vs. Chemical Change Physical change: A substance changes appearance, but it is still that substance – Example: Tearing paper Chemical change: A substance actually changes into something else – Example: Burning paper
Chemical Reactions Chemical reaction: The process by which one or more substances change to form one or more different substances Evidence of Chemical Reactions 1. Color change 2. Bubbles (gas formed) 3. Turns cloudy (solid/precipitate formed) 4. Temperature change 5. Change in smell

Writing Chemical Equations Reactants = starting materials Products = ending materials Mg MgO+ O2O2O2O2 (s)(g) (s) ReactantsProduct States of Matter: Solid = (s) Liquid = (l) Gas = (g) Aqueous = (aq) dissolved in water
Writing Chemical Equations Example: – Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to produce liquid water H2H2H2H2 H2OH2OH2OH2O+ O2O2O2O2 (g) (l) “reacts with” “combines with” “is added to” “to produce” “yields” “to make” “synthesizes”
Write the Chemical Equation for the following: Solid carbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide C (s) + O 2(g) CO 2(g)
Write the Chemical Equation for the following: Solid zinc metal is added to an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce hydrogen gas and aqueous zinc (II) chloride. Zn (s) + HCl (aq) H 2(g) + ZnCl 2(aq)
