Chemical Reactions Reactants and Products
What we know so far… • We know about matter, atoms, elements, and compounds • We know that the difference between a mixture and a compound. • We know that when we combine chemicals, that some sort of change happens within the substance. • Now we will figure out what is really going on!

Law of Conservation of Matter Matter is never created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The same amount of material you start with, you end with in a chemical reaction, just in different forms. H2O + NaCl H2O + Na + Cl Separate into individual elements on each side H 2 H 2 O 1 O 1 Na 1 Na 1 Cl 1 Cl 1
Formation of a gas When chemicals mix, sometimes gases are formed. Mixing baking soda and vinegar releasing carbon dioxide When chemicals mix, sometimes gases are formed. Water and Dry Ice releasing carbon dioxide
