14. Matter and Change Chemical Property
A characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to change into other substances.

15. Properties and Changes in Matter

23. Energy in Chemical Changes
A student places two substances in a flask and measures the temperature once per minute while the substances react. The student plots the time and temperature data and creates the graph at left.

24. Energy in Chemical Changes
Reading Graphs:
What was the temperature in the flask at 3 minutes? When was the first time the temperature was at 6ºC?
At 3 minutes the temperature in the flask was about 30ºC. The first time the temperature was 6ºC was at about 7 minutes.

25. Energy in Chemical Changes
Calculating:
How many degrees did the temperature drop between 2 minutes and 5 minutes?
About 20ºC

26. Energy in Chemical Changes
Interpreting Data:
Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? Explain.
The reaction was endothermic, because it absorbed thermal energy from the reaction mixture, causing the temperature to drop.

27. Energy in Chemical Changes
Inferring:
At what temperature did the reaction stop? How can you tell?
The reaction stopped at about 2ºC. You can tell because that is the lowest temperature reached.

28. Energy in Chemical Changes
Drawing Conclusions:
Suppose the temperature in the flask increased instead of decreased as the reaction occurred. In terms of energy, what kind of reaction would it be? Explain.
If the temperature increased instead, the reaction would be exothermic, because an exothermic reaction is one in which energy is released.

29. Section 2: Describing Chemical Reactions
Standard 8.5.b: Students know the idea of atoms explains the conservation 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.

30. What Are Chemical Equations?
What information does a chemical equation contain?
Chemical equations use chemical formulas and other symbols instead of words to summarize a reaction.

31. Conservation of Matter
The principle of conservation of matter states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.

32. Balancing Chemical Equations
To describe a reaction accurately, a chemical equation must show the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

33. Balancing Chemical Equations
Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen gas (O2), forming magnesium oxide (MgO). To write a balanced equation for this reaction, first write the equation using the formulas of the reactants and products, then count the number of atoms of each element.

34. Balancing Chemical Equations
Balance the equation for the reaction of sodium metal (Na) with oxygen gas (O2), forming sodium oxide (Na2O).
