Chemical Reactions
Chemical changes are a result of chemical reactions. All chemical reactions involve a change in substances and a change in energy. Neither matter or energy is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction---only changed
the skinny bird (reactant) and the worm (reactant) combine to make one product, a fat bird.

Chemical Reactions

reactant + reactant ------> product

ORthe egg (the reactant), which contained the turtle at one time, now has opened and the turtle (product) and egg shell (product) are now two separate substances
Product reactant +reactant

Chemical Reactions

reactant + reactant ------> product

ORthe egg (the reactant), which contained the turtle at one time, now has opened and the turtle (product) and egg shell (product) are now two separate substances
Product reactant +reactant

Balancing Act
____Ca+____O2 ----_____CaO
How many Ca? How Many O?

Ca OO
Now what coefficients will you need to add on this side?

What coefficient will you need to add one this side?

Your Balanced equation should look like this 2Ca+02- 2CaO

Try the Next one

___N2+___H2- ____NH3 Count your atoms Add co-efficients to each side until they balance Your answer should be N2+3H22NH3

Energy of Reactions
Chemical reactions need energy to occur. Activation Energy is the minimum energy necessary for a specific chemical reaction to occur

Enzymes
enzymes are catalyst which lower the amount of activation energy needed for a reaction to take place Watch Video on enzymes for a good demonstration of how enzymes facilitate digestion in the body.

Enzyme Notes Draw this model in your notes

Assessment Questions
1.

A+B are REACTANTS AB is the PRODUCT

Assessment Questions
2.

Exothermic Reaction (see page 158) (energy is given off in reaction so products have lower energy than reactants)

Assessment Questions
2.

Endothermic Reaction (see page 158) (energy is absorbed energy of products higher than the reactants)

Assessment Questions
3. Matter is neither created nor destroyed it can only change form

Assessment Questions
4. Enzymes lower the activation needed to start chemical reactions
