Changes in Matter A physical change does not produce new substances. For example, water molecules are always made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom regardless of whether they are solid, liquid, or gas. Lesson 1-1

Chemical Equations A chemical equation is a description of a reaction using * In chemical equations, element symbols represent elements and chemical formulas represent compounds. Lesson 1-4

Chemical Equations (cont.) A subscript describes the number of atoms of an element in a compound. If an element’s symbol does not have a subscript, the compound contains only one atom of that element. Lesson 1-4

Conservation of Mass The law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of the reactants before a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass of the products after the chemical reaction. Mass is conserved in a reaction because *. All atoms at the start of a chemical reaction are present at the end of the reaction. Lesson 1-5

Mass is conserved in the reaction between baking soda and vinegar. Hutchings Photography/Digital Light Source Hutchings Photography/Digital Light Source Lesson 1-5

Conservation of Mass (cont.) What happens to the total mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction? Lesson 1-5

Conservation of Mass (cont.) A chemical equation is written so that the number of atoms of each element is the same, or balanced, on each side of the arrow. Lesson 1-5

Conservation of Mass (cont.) A balanced equation often does not happen automatically when the formulas for reactants and products are written. Lesson 1-5

Conservation of Mass (cont.) A coefficient is a number placed in front of an element symbol or chemical formula in an equation. Only coefficients can be changed when balancing an equation. Lesson 1-5

Conservation of Mass (cont.) Changing subscripts changes the identities of the substances that are in the reaction. When no coefficient is present, only one unit of the substance takes part in the reaction. Lesson 1-5

Energy Changes Chemical bonds contain a form of energy called chemical energy. Breaking a bond absorbs energy from the surroundings. The formation of a chemical bond releases energy to the surroundings. Lesson 3-1

Reaction Rates The rate of a reaction is the speed at which it occurs. Chemical reactions occur faster if particles collide more often or move faster when they collide. Lesson 3-2

Reaction Rates (cont.) Increased surface area increases reaction rate because more particles on the surface of a solid come into contact with the particles of another substance. At higher temperatures, the average speed of particles is greater, particles collide more often, and collisions with more energy are more likely to break chemical bonds. Lesson 3-2

Reaction Rates (cont.) Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants increases collisions between particles, resulting in a fast reaction rate. In gases, an increase in pressure pushes gas particles closer together, resulting in more collisions. Lesson 3-2

Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. Energy can be released when chemical bonds form or absorbed when chemical bonds are broken. The BIG Idea

Lesson 1: Understanding Chemical Reactions There are several signs that a chemical reaction might have occurred, including a change in temperature, a release of light, a release of gas, a change in color or odor, and the formation of a solid from two liquids. In a chemical reaction, atoms of reactants rearrange and form products. The total mass of all the reactants is equal to the total mass of all the products in a reaction. Key Concepts 1

Lesson 2: Types of Chemical Reactions Most chemical reactions fit into one of a few main categories—synthesis, decomposition, combustion, and single- or double-replacement. Synthesis reactions create one product. Decomposition reactions start with one reactant. Single- and double-replacement reaction involve replacing one element or group of atoms with another element or group of atoms. Combustion reactions involve a reaction between one reactant and oxygen, and they release thermal energy. Key Concepts 2

Lesson 3: Energy Changes and Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions always involve breaking bonds, which requires energy, and forming bonds, which releases energy. In an endothermic reaction, the reactants contain less energy than the products. In an exothermic reaction, the reactants contain more energy than the products. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the surface area, the temperature, or the concentration of the reactants or by adding a catalyst. Key Concepts 3
