when the appearance or form of a substance has changed but no new substance is produced
physical change
what type of change are all changes of states of matter
physical change
A change in matter that produces or more new substances
chemical changes
who measured mass before and after a chemical reaction
Antoine Lavoisier
the fact that matter isn’t created or destroyed in any chemical or physcial change
law of conservation of mass
the substances you start with
reactants
the substances that are formed at the end
products
how are reactants written in a chemical equation
written on the left followed by an arrow that means yeilds or produces
what is written on the right side of a chemical equation
products
what are evidence of chemical changes
a change in chemical or physical properties and a change in energy
what are some changes in properties that can result when new substances form
forming a precipitate, gas production, and a color change
the ability to do work or cause change
energy
the measure of the average motion energy in particles of energy
temperature
what does it mean when particles move fast
greater energy and temperature
the total energy of all the particles in an object
thermal energy
what are the 2 major factors to compare thermal energy of substances
the amount of matter in an object and the temperature of the substance
energy is released, usually as heat
exothermic reaction
example of exothermic reaction
oxygen and fuels that produce fire
absorb energy from nearby matter which can cause the surroundings to become cooler
endothermic reaction
example of an endothermic reaction
snapping an ice pack
when do chemical changes occur
when bonds between atoms break and new bonds form
what do you need to break bonds
energy
what does forming bonds cause
releasing energy
the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
activation energy
