Element
Compound
Chemical Reactions
Another name for chemical change
When one or more substances are
changed into new substances.
Reactants- stuff you start with
Products- What you make
NEW PROPERTIES
Because each substance has its own
properties
Indications of a chemical reaction
Energy absorbed or released
Color change
Odor change
Precipitate- solid that separates from
solution
Not easily reversed
Only clues not certainty
Chemical symbols
There are 116 elements
Each has a 1 or two letter symbol
First letter always capitalized second
never
Don’t need to memorize
Some from Latin or other languages
Chemical symbols
Used to write chemical formulas
Subscripts tell us how many of each
atom
H 2O
C3H8
HBrO3
Conservation of Mass
Mass can not be created or destroyed
in ordinary (not nuclear) changes.
All the mass can be accounted for.
Mass at the start = mass at end
Energy
The ability to do work.
Work - cause a change or move an
object.
Many types- all can be changed into the
other.
Types of energy
Potential- stored energy
Kinetic Energy- energy something has
because its moving
Heat- the energy that moves because
of a temperature difference.
Chemical energy- energy released or
absorbed in a chemical change.
Electrical energy - energy of moving
charges
Types of Energy
Radiant Energy- energy that can travel
through empty space (light, UV,
infrared, radio)
Nuclear Energy – Energy from
changing the nucleus of atoms
All types of energy can be converted
into others.
If you trace the source far enough back,
you will end up at nuclear energy.
Conservation of Energy
Energy can be neither created or
destroyed in ordinary changes (not
nuclear), it can only change form.
Its not just a good idea, its the law.
What about nuclear?
E = mc2
energy = mass x (speed of light)2
speed of light = 3 x 108
A little mass can make a lot of energy
Law of Conservation of Mass - Energy
the total of the mass and energy
remains the same in any change
