3. What happens during a chemical reaction?
Suppose you fill a sealable bag with ice cubes, and you allow the ice to melt. How would the mass of the bag and ice before melting compare to the mass of the water and the bag after melting? Explain your answer.

4. Section 1: Observing Chemical Change
How can changes in matter be described?
How can you tell when a chemical reaction occurs?

5. Review Matter --- anything that has mass and takes up space
Chemistry --- the study of matter and how it changes
Changes in matter come in two forms: physical changes and chemical changes

6. Properties and Changes in Matter
Matter can undergo both physical change and chemical change.

7. Chemical change involves both reactants and products
Marshmallow + oxygen carbon (ash) + water (vapor) + carbon dioxide
C16H22O O C H2O + 2 CO2
reactants products
Reactants are the compounds you begin with in a chemical reaction.
Products are the compounds produced in a chemical reaction.

8. Properties and Changes in Matter
Chemical changes occur when bonds break and new bonds form.
Reactants Products

9. Evidence for Chemical Reactions
Chemical reactions involve changes in properties and changes in energy that you can observe.
1. Changes in properties
2. Changes in energy

10. 1. Changes in Properties Physical change Chemical change Color - Gas
Precipitate - Texture
Chemical change
When two or more reactants chemically combine to form new products, the chemical properties of the products are different from the properties of the reactants.

11. 2. Changes in Energy
Chemical reactions usually absorb heat or release heat.
When a reaction absorbs heat it is called an endothermic reaction.
In an endothermic reaction, the products are cooler than the reactants, because the reaction absorbs heat from the reactants.

12. 2. Changes in Energy
Chemical reactions usually absorb heat or release heat.
When a reaction releases heat it is called an exothermic reaction.
In an exothermic reaction, the products are warmer than the reactants, because the reaction releases heat to the reactants.

13. 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.

14. 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.

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

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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?
If the temperature increased instead, the reaction would be exothermic, because an exothermic reaction is one in which energy is released.
