Yes

Can the number of reactants and products vary?

Endothermc reactions need energy to keep going. The energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants. This difference thells you that the reaction must absorb energy to continue.

Explain how much energy an endothermic reaction need

color change, the formation of a gas from solid or liquid reactants, texture, hardness

What are signs of chemical reactions?

two or more elements or compounds combines to make more of a complex substance

What is a synthesis?

when water boils, the gas bubbles you see are made of molecules of water, just as the liquid was.

What is an example of a property change in matter but the change does not always indicate that a chemical reaction has taken place?

Concentration is the amount of a substance in a given volume

What is concentration?

occurs when compounds break down into simpler products

What is decomposition?

is anything that has mass and takes up space

What is matter?

temperature

a number placed in front of a chemical formula in an equation

what is a coefficient?

Chemical changes occur when bonds break and new bonds form.

when do chemical changes occur?

products with different properties

when reactant atoms and molecules form what happens?

although catalysts affect a reaction's rate, they are not permanently changed by a reaction. For this reason catalysts are not considered reactants

why are catalysts now considered a reactant?

The new substances formed by the reaction

What are products?

during a chemical reaction, matter is neither created or destroyed, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products

What does the conservation of matter state?

the total number of atoms of each element in the reactants must equal the total number of atoms of each element in the product

What does the principle of conservation of matter means?

absorb or release energy

What happens as matter changes?

slows the reaction reate

What happens if you reduce the temperature?

Many endothermic reactions occur only when heat is constantly added.

When do many endothermic reactions occur?

left, followed by an arrow

Where are the reactants written on in the formulas?

right

Where is product written on in the formula?

Yes

Do all chemical equations have a common structure?

Color, hardness, texture, shine, and flexibility

What are examples of physical properties?

Yes

Are all atoms present at the start of the reaction are all present at the end of reaction?

The dotted line marks the energy of the reactants before the reaction begins. The peak in the graph shows the activation energy. The end of the reaction, the products have less energy than the reactants. This difference results in a release of heat.

Explain how much energy an exothermic reactions need.

1.write the correct formulas for both reactants and product. Place the reactants, H2 and O2 on the left side of the arrow, separated by a plus sign. Then write the product, H2O on the right side of the arrow. 2. Count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation. you find two atoms of oxygen in the reactants but only one atom of oxygen in the product. 3. To balance the equation, you can change the coefficients. Change the balance number of O atoms by changing the coefficient of H2O to 2. To balance the equation, you can change the coefficients. Now the right side of the equation has two water molecules, each containing an O atom. By balancing the oxygen, you unbalanced the number of hydrogen atoms. There are now two hydgron atoms in the reactants and four in the in the product. To balance the hydrogen; change the coefficient of H2 to 2. All atoms in the reactants are now accounted for in the products. 4. Look Back and Check

Explain how you can write a balanced chemical equation with hydrogen and oxygen

This reaction gives off a large amount of energy. But if you just mix the two gases together, they can remain unchanged for years. For the reaction to start, a tiny amount of activation energy is needed-even just an electric spark. Once a few molecules of hydrogen and oxygen react, the rest will quickly follow because the first few reactions provide activation energy for more molecules to react. Overall, the reaction releases more energy than it uses.

Explain the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen

1. the partilces come on contact more often, which means there are more chances for a reaction to happen. 2. faster moving particles hav more energy. this increased energy causes more particles of the reactants to get over the activation energy

Faster moving particles increase the reaction rate in what two ways?

1. Write the Equation 2. Count the Atoms 3. Use Coefficients to Balance Atoms 4. Look Back and Check

How can you write a balanced chemical equation?

Changes in matter can be described in terms of physical changes and chemical changes.

How changes in matter can be described as?

most inhibitors work by preventing reactants from coming together. Usually they combine with one of the reactants either permanently or temporarily.

How do most inhibitors work?

To describe a reaction accurately, a chemical equation must show the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

How do you describe a reaction accurately?

"yields"

How do you read the arrow?

Reactant + Reactant (arrow) Product + Product

How do you write a chemical equation? (example)

A reaction wont begin until the reactants have enough energy to push them. The energy is used to break the chemical bonds of the reactants. Then, the atoms begin to form the new chemical bonds of the products

How does a reaction begin, what is the energy used for, and what happens to the atoms?

to contain it

If you want to measure the matter before and after a reaction, how will you be able to do that?

In Chemical Reactions, the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged. So their total mass stays the same.

In chemical reactions, the number of atoms_________. So their total mass________.

bending, crushing, breaking, and cutting, changes of state, such as melting, freezing, boiling, and condensing
