Definition
Products
Term
What is the essential difference between a physical change and a chemical change?
Definition
In a chemical change you get a new substance.
Term

Mg + O -> MgO

Definition

Mg + O -> MgO

(reactants) (product)

Term
Name some physical properties of Magnesium Oxide
Definition
White powder
Term
How can you tell when a chemical reaction occurs?
Definition
Chemical Reactions involve change in properties and changes in energy that you can often observe
Term
Name some physical properites of oxygen
Definition
gas / colorless / odorless
Term
Name some physical properties of the metal magnesium
Definition
shiny / bendable / conducts with heat and electricity / metal
Term
___________, ____________, and ____________ are all possible evidence that a chemical reaction has taken place.
Definition

Term
Name two other physical properties that may change during a chemical reaction
Definition
Texture and Hardness
Term
What is a precipitant?
Definition
A solid that forms from liquids during a chemical reaction
Term
How do we know a gas has been produced during a chemical reaction involving liquids
Definition
Often seen as bubbles
Term
What evidence is in a slice of bread show the presence of gas?
Definition
holes in bread
Term
Is boiling water a chemical of physical change... Explain.
Definition
Physical Change - the water is just changing state
Term
Is color change always an indicator that a chemical change has taken place.. Explain.
Definition

No, color change may be a physical change too. 

Example: paint your pencil black = physical

Burning your pencil until it turns black is a chemical change

Term
Chemical reactions occurr when ________ and ________ form.  Breaking bonds ________ energy, while forming bonds ____________ entergy.
Definition

existing bonds

new bonds

aquires

releases

Term
What is a exothermic reaction
Definition
A reaction is when energy is released as the products form is greater than the energy required to break the bonds releases heat
Term
In an exothermic reaction, the energy is usually released as ___________.
Definition
Heat
Term
Name an exothermic reaction
Definition
When something burns it releases energy in the form of heat and light
Term
What is an endothermic reaction
Definition
When more energy is required to break bonds of the reactants than is released by the formation of the product
Term
Where is the entergy absorbed from and what does it cause
Definition
Energy is absorbed from nearby matter and it causes the surroundings to become cooler
Term
Name an endothermic reaction
Definition
Baking soda and Vinegar - baking a cake
Term
What is a chemical equation
Definition
a way to show a chemical reaction using symbols instead of words
Term
What is a chemical formula
Definition
a combination of symbols that represents the elements in a compound
Term
In CO2 what is the 2 called and what does it tell you
Definition
the subscript, it tells you how many atoms of oxygen is in the formula
Term
What does a chemical equation tell you
Definition
the substances you start with in a reaction and the substances formed at the end.
Term
In a chemical formula what does the arrow mean
Definition
Yields or reacts to form
Term
In a chemical equation ___________ are on the right side of the arrow and ___________ are on the left side of the arrow
Definition

Products

Reactants

Term
Who developed the law of conservation of mass
Definition
Antoine Lavoisier 1774
Term
What is the law of conservation of mass
Definition
states that during a chemical reaction, matter is not created or destroyed
Term
Can atoms be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction ... Explain
Definition
No, all of the atoms present at the start of the reaction are present at the end of the reaction.  Atoms are not created or destroyed, they just rearrange to form new substances
Term
What is an open system
Definition
In an open system matter can enter or escape the system
Term
What is a closed system
Definition
In a closed system, matter does not enter or leave
Term
The idea of conservation of mass means that the total number of atoms of each element in the reactants must ________________________________
Definition
Equal the total number of each element in the product
Term
What is a Coefficient
Definition
A large number placed in front of chemical formula in a equation
Term
How many atoms of each element? 2CO,2CO2,2H2O
Definition

2 carbon atoms / 2 oxygen atoms

2 carbon atoms / 4 oxygen atoms

4 hydrogen atoms / 2 oxygen atoms

Term
An _____________ is an example of a fast chemical reation and ___________ is an example of a slow chemical reation.
Definition

Explosion

Rusting

Term
What factors can affect the rate of a chemical reation
Definition
Surface area, temperature, concentration, or the presence of catalysts and inhibitors
Term
How does surface the area of a substance affect the rate of a chemical reaction
Definition
Only the particle on the surface of a substance come in contact with the reactants so if you break the substance into smaller particles more surface area is exposed and the reaction happens faster
Term
How does temperature affect the rate of a chemical reation
Definition
When you heat a substance the particles move faster with more energy and it helps the reactant start faster, when you cool a substance it slows down the reaction
Term
How does concentration affect the rate of a chemical reaction
Definition
Increasing the concentration supplies more particles to react.
Term
What is a catalyst and how does it affect a chemical reaction
Definition
A catalyst increases the reaction rate by lowering the energy needed to start the reaction
Term
What is an inhibitor and how does it affect a chemical reaction
Definition
A material used to decrease the rate of a chemical reaction
