Chemical Reactions AND EQUATIONS

2. Physical Properties of Matter
Physical Property - any property of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter
Examples:
color
shape
taste
state/phase
density
D = m V

3. change in state ex. Solid to liquid
Physical Change
Physical Change – a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance
* a change in shape, size, color, or state
a change without a change in chemical composition
a change that is reversible
Examples:
tearing paper
cutting your hair
change in state ex. Solid to liquid

4. Chemical Properties of Matter
Chemical Property - any property of matter that describes a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance that has different properties
Examples
flammability
reactivity with vinegar
reactivity with oxygen
Iron + Oxygen  Iron oxide (rust)
2Fe + 3O2  Fe2O3

5. Chemical Reaction ( Change )
Chemical Reaction -a change in which a substance becomes another substance having different properties
when atoms are rearranged to produce different substances with new properties
a change that is not reversible using ordinary physical means
Changes that usually cause heat, sound, light, odor, fizzing/foaming, color changes
You usually need more than one of the above characteristics to be considered a chemical change!
Examples: mixing baking soda and vinegar to make CO2 gas
burning a piece of wood
soured milk

6. Signs of a Chemical Reaction
fire
Bubbles/fizzing
color changes
rust
precipitate
A solid that is produced as a result of a chemical reaction in a solution, the solid is called the precipitate.
