CHEMICAL

REACTION
Chemical
Reaction
- is a process in which one or
more substances, the
reactants, are converted to
one or more different
substances, the products.
- Substances are either
chemical elements or
compounds
- A chemical reaction
rearranges the constituent
atoms of the reactants to
 Example: Log burning in a fire.

Burning wood is an example of a chemical

reaction in which wood in the presence of heat
and oxygen is transformed into carbon dioxide,
IDENTIFYING
CHEMICAL
CHANGE

PHYSICAL
AND
CHEMICAL
CHANGE
PHYSICAL
CHANGE
- It is limited to changes that
results in a difference in display
without changing the
composition.
- No new substance is formed.

Example:
Breaking a pencil
Boiling water
Cutting paper
Chopping wood
CHEMICAL
CHANGE
- In a chemical change, a
chemical reaction occurs and
new products are formed.
- There is a change in
composition of the
substances.
Example:
Frying an egg
Baking a cake
Burning a piece of wood
Dissolving salt in water
EVIDENCES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

When a physical change occurs

there is no breaking and forming
of bonds. There are certain things
that will help us identify if a
chemical reaction has taken place.
We call these evidences of
chemical reactions.
1.Production of light
2.Evolution of gas
3.Temperature change
4.Change in intrinsic properties
( color, odor )
 PHLOGISTON
THEORY
By George Ernst Stahl
in the 17th
century
States that when a material burns, it releases a substance known as
phlogiston, and this theory was accepted for a very long time.
The Phlogiston Theory is a superseded scientific theory that postulated
that a fire-like element called phlogiston
