The study of how is called chemistry .

Matter and Change Part of chem is describing . When you describe ter . you explain its characteristics . or properties . and how it changes . Figure lists some of the properties of water . Recall that matter can he described in terms of two kinds of properties and chemical properties . Changes in matter be described in terms of physical changes and chemical changes . Properties of Matter A physical property is a tic of a substance that can be observed without changing the into another substance . The at which solid melts is a physical property . For example . ice melts at a temperature of degrees Celsius . Color . hardness . texture . shine . and are some other physical properties of matter . The ability of a substance to dissolve in water and how well it conducts heat and electricity are examples ol still more properties of A property is a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to change into other To observe the properties of a substance . you change it to another substance . For example . when magnesium burns , it combines with oxygen in the air , forming a new substance called oxide . The chemical property of being able to burn in oxygen is called flammability . Other chemical include a material ability to rust or tarnish . FIGURE Properties at Water This geyser gives of ?

Squeeze out any excess air from the bag , and then seal it . Tip over the bag so that the water spill out of the cup and mixes with the calcium chloride and baking soda . Record your observations on a sheet of paper . Inferring Did you observe a physical change or a chemical change ?

A physical change is any change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but ' not make the into another substance . For example , when you squash a marshmallow . you cause a cal change . The shape of the marshmallow changes but not the taste . still made of the same compounds that have the same . in a physical change . one or more physical ties of the are altered , but the chemical composition remains the sauna . Bending , crushing . breaking , and cutting are all examples of physical changes . Changes of static . such as melting . freezing , boiling . and condensing . are also physical changes . Sometimes when matter changes , its chemical composition is changed . For example . the trust on toasted is the result of sugar changing to a mixture of diflerent substances called caramel . A change in matter that produces one or more new substances is a chemical change , or chemical reaction . In a chemical change . the atoms are rearranged to form new with different chemical and ) al properties . The substances that undergo change in a chemical reaction are called reactants . The new substances formed by the reaction are called products .

From Evidence for Chemical Reactions Many kinds of change provide evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred . Applying Concepts What other evidence might tell you a chemical reaction has occurred ?

11 ! Evidence for Chemical Reactions How can you tell when a chemical reaction occurs ?

You need to look for clues . Chemical reactions involve changes in properties and changes in energy that you can observe . Oranges In Properties One way to detect chemical tions is to observe changes in the properties of the materials involved . Changes in result when new substances ( Figure shows some examples . For instance . a color change may signal that a new substance has formed . Or . the ing of two solutions may yield a precipitate . A precipitate pree SIP uh ) is a solid that forms from solution during a cal reaction . Another observable change is the formation of a gas from solid or liquid reactants . Physical properties such as texture and hardness may also change . For example , moist bread dough forms a dry , porous solid after baking . Two clear liquids react . A a precipitate . The light green leaves oi early spring slowly tum darker as chemical reactions in the leaves produce more of the green compound chlorophyll .

Changes in physical properties can be easy to spot as change into products . But what about the chemical ?

atoms and molecules interact to form products with different chemical properties . For example . sodium ( Na ) and chlorine ( react to form an ionic compound . sodium chloride ( Both reactants are very reactive elements . ever , the product , sodium chloride , is a very stable compound . Although you may observe a property change in matter , the change does not always indicate that a chemical reaction has taken place . Sometimes physical changes give similar results . For example , when water boils , the gas bubbles you see are made of molecules of water , just as the original liquid was . The sign of a chemical reaction is that one or more new substances are produced . For example , when an electric current is passed through water during electrolysis , two new substances are , hydrogen gas and oxygen gas ( 01 ) How is a precipitate evident for I ' tE radian ?

What Are Chemical Equations ?

A chemical equation is a short , easy way to show a chemical reaction , using symbols instead of words . Although chemical equations are shorter than sentences , they contain more mation . Chemical equations use chemical formulas and other symbols instead of words to summarize reaction . Using Formulas All chemical equations use formulas to resent the substances involved in a reaction . You may recall that a chemical formula is a combination of symbols that represent the elements in a compound . For example , is the formula for carbon dioxide . The formula tells you that the ratio of bon to oxygen is to . Carbon dioxide is a molecular pound . so it is made up of molecules . Each carbon dioxide molecule has I carbon atom and oxygen atoms . Figure lists formulas of other compounds that may be familiar to you . Structure of an Equation All chemical equations have a common structure . A chemical equation tells you the stances you start with in a reaction and the substances you get at the end . The substances you have at the beginning are the reactants . When the reaction is complete , you have new stances called products . The formulas for the reactants are written on the left . lowed by an arrow . You read the arrow as yields . The las for the products are written on the right . When there are two or more reactants . they are separated by plus signs . In a similar way . plus signs are used to separate two or more . Below is the general plan for a chemical equation . Product Product The number of reactants and products can vary . Some tions have only one reactant or product . Other reactions have two , three . or more reactants or products . In Figure you can see the equation for a reaction that occurs when limestone ( is heated .

Was matter conserved ?

Iron Sulfide Conservation of Matter Look closely at the values for mass in Figure . Iron and sulfur can react to four ) imn . The photograph represents a principle tirst demonstrated by the French chemist Antoine in 1774 . This principle is called of matter . It states that . during a chemical reaction , matter is neither created nor destroyed . The total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products . Conservation of Mama The idea of atoms explains the of matter . In chemical reactions . the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged . So . their total mass stays the same . Look again at Figure . Suppose one atom of iron reacts with one atom of sulfur . At the end of the reaction . you have one iron atom bonded to one sulfur atom in the compound . All the atoms present at the start of the tion are present at the end of the reaction . The amount of matter does not change . The total mass stays the same before and after the reaction . Open and Closed Systems At first glance . some reactions may seem to violate the principle of conservation of matter . not always easy to measure all the matter involved in a reaction . For example . if you burn a match , oxygen comes from the rounding air . But how much ?

Likewise . the products escape i into the air . Again . how much ?

A burning match is an example uf an open . in an open system , matter can enter from or escape to the ings . The burned uut fire in Figure 10 is another example of an open system . If you want to measure all the matter before and alter a reaction . you have to be able tu contain it . In a closed system . manor is not allowed to enter . The pear decaying under glass in Figure 10 is a closed system So is a chemical reaction inside a sealed plastic bag . What Is a closed system Flaunt to Open and Closed Systems A wood fire is an open system because gases into the air . A pear in a glass dome is a closed system because the reactants and are contained inside the dome . solving What masses would you need to measure before and after a wood fire to show conservation of mass ?

GTO describe I reaction accurately , a chemical equation must show the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation . Chemists say an equation is balanced when it accurately represents conservation of matter . How can you write at balanced chemical equation ?

Write the Equation Suppose you want to write a chemical equation for the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen that forms water . To begin . write the correct for both reactants and product . Place the reactants . and ( on the left side of the arrow , separated by a plus sign . Then write the product , on the right side of the arrow . 01 Product Count the Atoms Count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation . You two atoms gen in the reactants but only one atom of oxygen in the product . hydrogen 310 oxygen atom hydrogen atoms oxygen atoms How can you get the number of oxygen atoms on both sides to be the same ?

You can not change the formula for water to because is the for hydrogen peroxide . a compound . So . how can you show that mass is conserved ?

Use Coefficients to Balance Atoms To balance the equation , you can change the . A ( uh FISH unt ) is a number placed in front of a chemical formula in an equation . it tells you the relative of reactant or it product that takes part in the reaction . In the unbalanced tion written in Step I , the coefficients are understood to be .

1300 Classifying Chemical Reactions You have already how to classify physical changes such as melting . boiling . and freezing . You can classify chemical changes . too . general types chemical reactions are synthesis . decomposition . and replacement . Synthesis Have you ever listened to music from a sizer ?

You can hear many notes and types of sounds combined to make music . To synthesize is to put things together . In chemistry . when two or more elements or pounds combine to make a more complex substance . the tion is as a synthesis ( SIN sis ) The reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to make water is a synthesis reaction . Decomposition In contrast to synthesis , decomposition occurs when compounds break down into simpler products You may have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide ( 203 ) in your house to clean cuts if you keep such a bottle for a very long time . the hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen gas . Replacement When one element replaces another in a pound . or when two elements in different compounds trade places . the reaction is as a . look at this example , Copper metal can be obtained by heating copper oxide with carbon .

Energy and Reactions To understand why it can be hard to start some chemical tions . look at Figure . The rock at the top of the hill can fall over the cliff . releasing energy when it crashes into the rocks at the bottom . Yet it remains motionless until it pushed over the small hump . Activation Energy Every chemical reaction is like that rock . A reaction wo begin until the reactants have enough energy to push them over the hump . The energy is used to break the chemical bonds of the reactants . Then . the atoms begin to the new chemical bonds of the products . Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction . All chemical reactions require I certain amount of activation energy to get started . Consider the reaction in which hydrogen and oxygen form water . This reaction gives off it large amount of energy . But if you just mix the two gases together , they can remain unchanged for . For the reaction to start , a tiny amount of activation energy is just an electric spark . Once a few 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 releases more energy than it uses . Recall from Section that this type of tion is described as exothermic . hating What is the function of a spark in a reaction between hydrogen gu and oxygen gas ?

Video Held School Chemical Reactions Haunt 13 Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions Both exothermic and endothermic reactions need energy to get started . leading Graphs What does the peak in the curve in each graph represent ?

Reaction and Reactions Every cal reaction needs activation energy to get started . Whether or not a reaction still more energy from the environment to keep going depends on if it is exothermic or endothermic . reactions follow the pattern you can see in the first diagram in Figure iii . The dotted line marks the energy of the reactants before the reaction begins . The peak in the graph shows the activation . Notice that at the end of the tion . the products have less energy than the reactants . This results in a release of heat . The burning of fuel . such as wood . natural gas . or oil , is an example of an exothermic tion . People can make use of the heat that is released to want their homes and cook food . Now look at the graph of an endothermic reaction on the right of Figure 13 . Endothermic reactions also need activation energy to get started . But . in addition . they need energy to keep going . Notice that the energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants . This difference tells you that the reaction must absorb energy to continue . When you placed baiting soda in vinegar in the Standards in Section the thermal energy already present in the solution was enough to start the reaction . The continued by drawing energy from the solution . making the solution feel colder . 395 haveless energy than the products ?

Reaction Activation 7350 Rates of Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions don I all occur at the same , like explosions . are very last . Others . like the rusting of iron , are much slower . Also . a particular reaction can occur at different rates depending on the conditions . If you want to a chemical reaction happen faster . you need to get more reactant particles together more often and with more energy . To slow down a reaction , you need to do the opposite . Factors that affect of reaction include face area , temperature , concentration , and the presence of or inhibitors . Surface Area Look at Figure 14 . The wreckage used to be grain elevator . It exploded when grain dust ignited in the air above the stored grain . Although the grain itself does react violently in ai the grain dust can . This is related to surface area . When a chunk of solid substance reacts with at uid or gas . only the particles on the surface of the solid come into Contact with the other reactant . But if you break the solid into smaller pieces , more particles are exposed and the reaction happens faster . Sometimes . up a reaction this way is dangerous . Other Limes , increasing surface area can be useful . For . chewing your food breaks it into smaller pieces that your body can digest more easily and quickly . Interpreting Data . Measure the length and width of a face of a gelatin cube . Calculate the area of that face of the cube . Ana length width . Repeat for each at the other faces . Then add the six values to get the total surface area . Using a plastic knife , cut the cube in half . Add the surface areas of the two pieces to get a new total . How did the original total surface area compare with the total area after the cube was cut ?

Predict the total surface area it you cut each cube in two again . It you have time , test your prediction . Home 14 Surface Area and Reaction Rate Grain dust reacts explosively with oxygen . Minimizing grain dust in a grain elevator can help prevent an like the one shown here .

15 concentration and Reaction Rate Bubbles of hydrogen gas form when magnesium reacts with acid , The solution heats up quickly , indicating that the reaction is exothermic . Relating Cause and Ethel What makes the reaction faster in the test tube on the right ?

BIO Temperature Another way to increase the rate of a reaction is to increase its temperature . When you heat a substance . its particles move faster . particles increase the tion rate in two ways . First . the particles come in contact more often , which means there are more chances tor at reaction to happen . Second . particles have more energy . This increased energy causes more particles of the reactants to get over the activation In contrast . reducing temperature slows down reaction rates . For example . milk contains bacteria , which carry out thousands of chemical reactions as they live and reproduce . At room temperature . those reactions happen faster and milk spoils more quickly . You store and other foods in the refrigerator because keeping foods cold slows down those tions . so your foods stay fresh longer . Concentration A third way to increase the rate of a cal reaction is to increase the concentration of the reactants . Concentration is the amount of a substance in a given volume . For example . adding small spoonful of sugar to a glass of will make it sweet . But adding a large spoonful of sugar makes the lemonade sweeter . The glass with more sugar has a greater concentration of sugar molecules . Increasing the concentration of reactants supplies more particles to react . Compare the two reactions of acid and metal in Figure IS . The test tube on the left has at lower concentration of acid . This reaction is slower than the one on the right . where the acid concentration is higher . You see ior the increased rate of reaction in the greater amount of gas bubbles produced . daunting why my an Increase In temperature affect the ' of chemical ?

Another way to control the rate of a reaction is to change the activation energy needed . A ( KAT uh list ) is a material that increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy . Although catalysts affect a reaction rate . they are not changed by a reaction . For this reason catalysts are not considered reactants . Many chemical reactions happen at temperatures that would kill living things Yet . some of these reactions are for life . The cells in ( as in all living things ) tain biological catalysts called enzymes EN ) body has thousands of different enzymes . Each one is om , affects only one chemical reaction . As shown in Figure provide a surface on which reactions can take place . By bringing reactant molecules close together , the enzyme lowers the activation energy needed . In this way . enzymes make chemical reactions that are necessary for life happen at a low temperature . Inhibitors Sometimes a is more useful when it can be , slowed down rather than up . A material used to enzyme decrease the rate of a reaction is an inhibitor . Most inhibitors 9998 ' work by preventing reactants from coming together . Usually flaunt 16 they combine with one of the reactants either permanently or temporarily . Inhibitors include preservatives added to food products to prevent them from becoming stale or spoiling . After a reaction . on enzyme molecule is unchanged .

Understanding Fire Fire is the result of combustion , a rapid reaction between oxygen and a Fuel . A fuel is a material that releases energy when it burns . Common fuels include oil , wood , gasoline , natural gas . and paper . of these types of fuel always produces carbon dioxide and water . When fuels don ! burn completely . products such as smoke and poisonous gases may be produced . The Fire Triangle Although a combustion reaction is very exothermic and fast , can not start unless conditions are right . things necessary to start and maintain I lire are fuel . oxygen , and heat . You probably know that oxygen is one of the gases in air . About 20 percent ol the air around you is posed of oxygen gas . If air can reach the fuel . so can oxygen . A large can create a strong draft that pulls air toward it . As the air around the is heated . it rises rapidly . Cooler air toward the fire , replace ing the heated air and bringing a fresh supply of if you stand in front of a tire in a . you can feel the air toward the tire . Heat is a part of the triangle . Fuel and oxygen can be together , but they won ! until something provides the activation energy to start combustion . This energy can come from a lighted match . an electric spark . or the heat from a stove . Once combustion starts . the heat released supplies more activation energy to keep the reaction going . Once started . a tire can continue burning as long as all components of the tire triangle are available . Coal in abandoned mines under the town of , started burning iu 1962 . The coal is still burn ing . Many old lead into the tunnels . Because some can not be located and sealed , air ties to flow into the mines . supporting the tire . Heat and poisonous gases coming up from the lire through cracks in the ground made living in . Everyone eventually moved away . No one knows how long this will continue to burn .

For example . you can get the fuel away ' from the . You can also keep oxygen from getting to the fuel . Finally . you can cool the combustion reaction . How do usually ?

They use hoses to spray huge amounts of water on the flames . Water removes two parts of the fire triangle . First , water covers the fuel , which keeps it from coming into contact with oxygen . Second . ration of the water uses a large amount of heat , causing the tire to cool . Without heat . there is enough energy to continue the combustion . Therefore . the reaction stops .
