CHEMICAL CHANGE
2
PHYSICAL CHANGES
3
Substance looks different, but chemically still the same. Eg. Melting, breaking. Most physical changes are reversible. PHYSICAL CHANGES
4
CHEMICAL CHANGE
5
New substances are formed. Identified by: Colour change Light or heat produced Precipitate formed CHEMICAL CHANGE
6
To save time, we can describe a chemical reaction using equations. Hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium metal to produce hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride. hydrochloric acid + magnesium hydrogen gas + magnesium chloride WORD EQUATIONS
7
When writing chemical equations we start with the reactants and end with products. hydrochloric acid + magnesium hydrogen gas + magnesium chloride What are the reactants and products in the above word equation? CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
8
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
9
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 --> 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Energy 2900kJ
10
When a chemical reaction occurs, the particles of the substance rearrange themselves. Another way to say this is that they change their chemical bonds. The previous reaction is called ‘respiration’ and is happening in the cells of your body right now. CHEMICAL REACTIONS
11
Write the word equation for respiration. CHEMICAL REACTIONS
12
THE WORK OF CHEMISTS
13
Chemists use chemical reactions to create new substances, for example: Materials such as fabrics, plastics and rubber. Medicines Food products Or extract particular substances from others for example: Petrol from crude oil Metals from mineral ore THE WORK OF CHEMISTS
14
You don’t have to be a chemist to make use of chemical reactions. Some of the ways that chemistry affects our everyday lives are: Cooking Medicines Air bags in cars Special effects for movies Fireworks …and many, many more! USING CHEMICAL REACTIONS
