What are the changes that can take place? • Physical changes • Chemical changes

Photosynthesis of plants Physical changes / Chemical changes
Definition of chemical Reaction • Chemical changes are permanent and irreversible • Produced new substances • Reactants are changed into products Example: reactant A + reactant B product C + product B
Definition of physical reaction • When a change is reversible, we call it a physical change • No new substance is formed
Physical & chemical changes are brought about by interactions between matter and different forms of energy: • Heat • Light • Electricity or by • Combination of 2 different matter
Chemical Changes Caused by Heat • Changes in State of Matter • Combination • Thermal Decomposition • Combustion
Heat Causes Changes in the State of Matter • From Solid to liquid to gas or vice versa • Melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation • Sublimation: From solid change straight to gas These are physical changes since changes are reversible and no new products are formed
Heat Causes Changes in the State of Matter • Some substances undergo sublimation • Like dry ice (carbon dioxide) and iodine • hyperlink (http://www.dac.neu.edu/physics/b.maheswaran/phy1121/data/ch04/anim/anim0406.htm)
Expansion & Contraction • Expansion and contraction are also physical changes Why are electrical wires not hung tautly?
Combination • Combination refers to a process in which two or more substances form a new substance Example Iron + Sulphur Iron Sulphide Fe + S FeS heat
Combination 2K + Cl2 2K2Cl
Combination 2Al + 3Br2 Al2Br6
Combustion • Refers to combination of a substance with oxygen in the presence of heat. • One or more new substances may be produced
Combustion • Can combustion take place on the moon? • No, unless there is a supply of air or oxygen present
Combustion is a type of oxidation reaction • Processes such as rusting and combustion are oxidation reactions. • Oxidation refers to a process in which a substance reacts with oxygen
Oxidation • Examples - Burning of magnesium in oxygen - Rusting of iron - Fireworks - Burning of paper or wood Rust Burning Mg
Thermal Decomposition • A substance breaks down into 2 or more substances by effect of heat Example: sugar carbon + water vapour calcium carbonate calcium oxide + carbon dioxide heat heat
Chemical Changes Caused by Light • Photosynthesis • Photography • Obtaining energy from solar cells
Chemical Changes Caused by Light • Photosynthesis: Process in which green plants make food in the presence of light sunlight carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen chlorophyll
Chemical Changes Caused By Light Under the exposure of light, chemical reaction takes place with the formation of new products Fading of the colour of newspaper due to light exposure
Chemical Changes Caused By Light Example photographic films : coating of silver bromide silver bromide silver + bromine light
Chemical Changes Caused By Light • Does chemical changes take place if a digital camera is used? • No, light is changed to electrical signals to form images in a digital camera.
Chemical Changes Caused By Light • Why are silver nitrate solutions stored away from direct sunlight? • Exposure to direct sunlight will cause it to decompose.
Chemical Changes Caused by Light • Solar cells are also called photovoltaic cells • They convert light energy directly into electricity
Solar Cells Solar cells are used in areas where electricity is not readily available. Suggests some uses of this energy within the house. Solar Panels on House Roof
Electricity The changes that takes place include: • Heating • Light production • Magnetic effect • Chemical effect • Electrolysis
Heating a light bulb with electricity to produce light • A physical process • The filament in the light bulb is heated up, and electrical energy is converted to heat and light energy. No new substances are formed
Splitting water using electricity • This process is called Electrolysis
Chemical Changes Caused By Mixing Sodium hypochlorite + water chlorine gas (bleaching) Also used in swimming pools:
