Section 2: Chemical Reactions Chapter 2 Matter: Properties and Changes
A) Chemical Change: The atoms in a substance are rearranged to form a newsubstance
1) Signs of a chemical change: production of light, sound, smoke, or a new coloror smell
a) Burning of wood, oil, coal, gasoline, and natural gas to heat homes, generate electricity, power vehicles, and cook food
B) Chemical Properties: describes the ability of a substance to reactwith other materials and form new substances
a) The ability to burn is a chemical property; the burning is a chemical change
c) Lignite (type of coal) is highly combustible that it burst into flames without being ignited
d) Methane the atoms separateand combine with oxygen (CH4 forms H2O and CO2)
2) Reactivity: the ability of a substance to go through a chemical change
a) Elements in the first column of the periodic table are the most reactive
3) Stability: substances do not easily or very rarely go through chemical changes
2) Example: Sulfur combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, a colorless gas that smells like rotten eggs
B) Decomposition Reaction: Substance is broken downinto simpler substances
1) Example Water separated into Hydrogen and Oxygen by an electrical current
C) Double Replacement Reactions: Iconic compounds switch ions with each other
1) Example hydrogen chloride and sodium hydroxide react to form sodiumchloride also water
A) Helium protecting the Declaration of Independence from Oxygen
B) Books have pages in which acids have been neutralizedin bases
2) Chromium Coating, Chromium is notreactive and seals the steel
D) Food is cooled to slow down oxidation, and prevent bacteria
E) Antioxidants added to plastics, oil, and gasoline to prevent breakdowns
