What do all of the reactions from the
video have in common?
What is a chemical
reaction?
Chemical vs. physical changes
What was the difference?
What was an indication of a physical
change?
What was an indication of a chemical
change?
Rules for chemical
reactions
Reactions are shown in the form of
equations
Reactants Products
Reactant is the thing that changes
Product is the outcome of the reaction
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed in
a chemical reaction
Anything that goes in has to come out
Balancing chemical
equations
Inorder to show that mass is
conserved in a reaction, equations
must be balanced
Things that will help in balancing
reactions
Coefficient number in front of a
compound
Subscript number after an element
that shows how many atoms of that
element there are

Types of chemical
Reactions
Synthesis
Decomposition
Single Replacement
Double Replacement
Combustion
Synthesis

Putting
two things together to make
one new thing
Decomposition

Breakingone thing apart to make

two new things
Single Replacement

One thing takes the place of another

Double Replacement

Two things switch places

Combustion

Something reacts quickly with

oxygen

Reactants are oxygen gas and a

hydrocarbon (contains carbon and
hydrogen)
Products are always water and
carbon dioxide
