This document provides information about chemical reactions, including signs that a reaction has occurred and different types of reactions. It discusses synthesis reactions where two or more compounds combine to form a new substance, decomposition reactions where a single compound breaks down into simpler substances, and displacement reactions where one element replaces another. It emphasizes that chemical reactions result in new substances with different properties. Balancing chemical equations is also covered, following the law of conservation of mass. A sample lab procedure on mixing borax solution and glue is presented to demonstrate a chemical reaction.
2. When a chemical goes
through a Chemical
Reaction one or more
substances are changed to
new substances
3. Signs of Chemical Reactions
Gas Formation
Solid Formation (called precipitate)
Energy is released
Heat
Light
Electricity
Energy taken in
Color change
Most important: The formation of a new
substance that has different properties.

T/F Steam from a teapot means a
chemical change has taken place.
T/F During a Chemical reaction the bonds
are broken and the atoms rearrange with
new bonds.

F
T
17. Types of Chemical
Reactions
A process by which one or more
substances change to make one
or more new substances.
25. Law of Conservation of
Mass
Antoine Lavoisier (1790)
Mass cannot be created or destroyed in
ordinary chemical and physical
changes.
The total mass never changes
27. Quiz
What is a synthesis reaction?
What is a decomposition reaction?
What are single-displacement reactions?
What are double-displacement reactions?
28. Answers
2 or more substances combine to form a new
compound
A reaction in which a single compound breaks
down to form 2 or more simpler substances.
A reaction in which one element or radical takes
the place of another element or radical in the
compound.
A reaction in which a gas, a solid precipitate, or
a molecular compound forms from exchange of
ions between 2 compounds.
32. Steps
1. Count the Atoms
2. Place a coefficient in front of the second
part if the equation if necessary
3. Place a coefficient in front of the first part
of the equation to balance the atoms.
Atoms from the left side must equal the
atoms from the right side of the equation.

reaction.
Substances formed from a chemical
reaction.
Mass is neither created or destroyed in
ordinary chemical and physical changes.
Na + 1 Cl2 >>> NaCl2
51. Steps

appearance, etc.
What happen when they were mixed together?
Compare the properties of the glue with the new
substance.
Predict the properties of the material if less
Borax is used.
