Chemical Change -vs- Physical Change http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTFOxR2cg0g&feature=related&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active
Physical Change • Physical change: a change that occurs that does not change the identity of the substance • Melting ice • Freezing Kool-Aid • Tearing paper • Boiling water
Chemical Changes • Chemical change: a change that occurs causing the identity of the substance to change • Burning • Digesting food • Reacting with other substances • A chemical change is called a chemical reaction
Chemical reactions • A chemical reaction involves changing the ways the atoms are grouped. H2 + Cl2 --> 2 HCl2 H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
Chemical Reaction • A process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. • A chemical reaction rearranges the atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products
How do we know a chemical reaction has occurred? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZMkqagL8Ps&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active
Evidence for a Chemical Reaction • Precipitation • A solid formed from a solution can result from a chemical change.
Evidence for a Chemical Reaction • Gas Production • Fizzing, bubbling • Color Changes • Odor Changes
Evidence for a Chemical Reaction • Energy Changes • Exothermic • Heat is released (feels hot) • Endothermic • Heat is absorbed (feels cold) • Light can be absorbed or released also without a temperature change.
Steps for predicting precipitates • Step 1 – Write the reactants as they actually exist before any reaction occurs. • Step 2 – Consider the various solids that could form. • Step 3 – Use the solubility rules to decide whether a solid forms, and, if so, to predict the identity of the solid.
Soluble Solid • Solid that readily dissolves in water. • Insoluble solid and slightly soluble solid • Very small amount dissolves in water, the majority stays solid.
Chemical Equation • A representation of a chemical reaction showing the relative numbers of reactants and products. ReactantsProducts “Yields”
Subscripts vs. Coefficients • The subscripts tell you how many atoms of a particular element are in a compound. • The coefficient tells you about the quantity, or number, of molecules of the compound.
