The second letter always lowercase

7. Chemical Reactions

8. Introduction Chemical Property
The ability if a substance to undergo a specific chemical change is called a chemical property.
When iron combines with oxygen, rust is produced.
During a chemical change, the composition of matter always changes.

9. Chemical Reactions
A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction.
Chemical reaction
When one or more substances change into one or more new substances.

10. Parts of a Chemical Reaction
There are “two parts” of a chemical reaction.
Reactant
The substance that is present at the start if the chemical reaction.
Product
The substance produced by the chemical reaction.

11. Important Note
During any chemical reaction, the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the reactants.
Falls under the law of conservation of mass
In any physical change or chemical reaction, mass is conserved.
Mass is neither created nor destroyed.
