What is a physical change?
A change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but does not change its chemical composition. Examples include melting, freezing, and dissolving.
What is a chemical change?
A process that transforms one set of chemical substances into another, involving the rearrangement of atoms and breaking/forming of chemical bonds. New products with different properties are formed.
List four indicators that a chemical reaction has occurred.
Gas production, formation of a precipitate, colour change, and temperature change (heat released or absorbed).
What are reactants?
The substances initially involved in a chemical reaction. They are consumed to form products.
What are products?
The new substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction. They have properties different from the reactants.
What does a chemical equation represent?
A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, showing the reactants, products, and sometimes reaction conditions and intermediate products.
Define exothermic reaction.
A chemical reaction that releases heat energy to the surroundings. The temperature of the surroundings increases.
Define endothermic reaction.
A chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy from the surroundings. The temperature of the surroundings decreases.
How does increasing temperature affect reaction rate?
It increases the reaction rate because more thermal energy is available to reach the activation energy needed for bond breaking.
What is activation energy?
The minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. It is needed to break bonds in the reactants.
What is a redox reaction?
A reaction involving oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons). Examples include combination, decomposition, and single displacement reactions.
What is a non-redox reaction?
A chemical reaction where no oxidation or reduction occurs; no change in oxidation states of atoms.
What is a combination reaction?
A reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single product. Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
What is a decomposition reaction?
A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Example: 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂.
What is a single displacement reaction?
A reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu.
What is a precipitate?
A solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction. It is an indicator of a chemical change.
Give an example of a physical change.
Melting an ice cube – the water changes state but remains H₂O.
Give an example of a chemical change.
Burning wood – wood reacts with oxygen to produce ash, carbon dioxide, and water, forming new substances.
What is a catalyst?
A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are biological catalysts.
What is a metabolic pathway?
A series of consecutive chemical reactions where the product of one reaction is the reactant of the next, often catalyzed by enzymes.
What did Antoine Lavoisier discover about combustion?
He showed that combustion is a reaction with oxygen from the air, disproving the phlogiston theory.
What is the law of definite proportions?
A chemical compound always contains the same proportion of elements by mass, regardless of the source. This led to stoichiometry.
What was significant about Friedrich Wöhler's synthesis of urea in 1828?
It disproved vitalism by showing that an organic compound (urea) could be synthesized from inorganic precursors.
