What changes are there?????????

  • Physical change

  • Chemical change

2
New cards

Physical change (e.g. chewing)

  • No new substance is formed

  • Properties of substances do not change

  • No heat/little heat is taken in or out

3
New cards

Chemical change (e.g. baking / cooking, chewing but with digestive juices)

  • New substances is formed

  • Properties of substances are different from reactants

  • Heat/light energy may be taken in or given out 

A+B (reactants) → C+D (products)

4
New cards

HOW do you know chemical reaction has taken place?

  • Colour change

  • heat/ light given off

  • Odour given off

  • Effervescence

  • Precipitate formed (solid forming in liquid)

5
New cards

Chemical changes occur due to…?

  1. Interactions between different kinds of matter (mixing)

  2. Interactions between matter and energy (heat, light, electricity)

6
New cards

Interactions between different kinds of matter (mixing)

  1. Neutralisation

  2. precipitation

7
New cards

Interactions between matter and energy (heat, light, electricity)

  1. Combustion (heat)

  2. Decomposition (heat, light electricity)

  3. Electrolysis (electricity)

8
New cards

TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

  1. Involving acids and alkalis

    • Acids and alkalis chapter

  2. Precipitation

  3. Oxidation

  4. Combustion

  5. Decomposition

  6. Other reactions in daily life

9
New cards

Precipitation

  1. Salt solution + another salt solution

  2. Salt solution + alkali

    • Process in which an insoluble solid (precipitate) is formed when two solutions are mixed

10
New cards

Oxidation

  • A substance may react with oxygen to form a new substance (substance is oxidized)

  1. Rusting 

  2. Respiration

11
New cards

Combustion

  • The burning of substances in oxygen [basically every equation need oxygen] (heating required)

    • Energy is released usually in the form of heat and light

  1. Combustion of magnesium

  2. Combustion of coal

  3. Combustion of sulfur

  4. Combustion of hydrogen

  5. Combustion of methane ( cow fart contains methane)

12
New cards

Decomposition

  • Process whereby a compound breaks down into two or more substances

  1. Decomposition

  2. Decomposition by light

  3. Thermal decomposition

  4. Electrolysis (using electricity to break down a compound)

13
New cards

Other reactions in daily life

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. Acid rain formation

14
New cards

Extra process:

  • Cooking

  • Decay of food

  • Electroplating 

15
New cards

Cooking

  • Denatured (break down bonds)

  • Coagulation (forming new structures)

16
New cards

Decay of food

Breaking down organic matter into simpler substances

17
New cards

Electroplating

Process of depositing a layer of metal on another substance using electrolysis

18
New cards

BENEFITS OF CHEMICAL CHANGES:

  • Releases nutrients back to earth

  • Manufacturing stuff like detergent and fertilisers

  • Metals are obtained

  • Synthesis of medicine 

  • Cooking

  • Electroplating

19
New cards

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL CHANGES:

  • Rusting causes structures to corrode → unsafe

  • Decomposition leads to wastage of food and resources

  • Combustion release air pollutants (cars and factories)

  • Some air pollutants cause acid rain

New cards

SUMMARY: Chemical changes occur due to interactions between matter and/when:

  • Mixed

  • Heat

  • Light

  • electricity
