3. What is a chemical reaction?
Chemical reaction – reactions where some chemical change occurs
milk into curd
rusting of iron
fermented grapes
digestion of food
respiration
Determine whether a chemical reactn
has taken place
*change in state
change in temp
evolution of gas
change in colour
4. Law of conservation of mass.
Balancing of chemical equations are based on this law
Law; mass can neither be created nor be destroyed
therefore the total mass of molecules in the reactant
side should be equal to the total mass of molecules in
the product side

15. Displacement reaction
Reactions in which the more reactive metal displaces
the less reactive metal from its salt in a chemical
reaction
AB + C CB + A
where c is reactive than a
