What is a chemical
Reaction

A chemical reaction is a
process in which atoms of one
or more substances rearrange
to form one or more NEW
substances

3

What are some signs that a chemical reaction has occurred?

▪ Formation of Bubbles (Baking soda

and Vinegar)

▪ Change in Energy (Heat or Light)
▪ Change in odor (Food Rotting)
▪ Change in color (Leaves changing)

4

What is the only proof
of that a chemical
reaction has
occurred?

The Creation of New
substances!

Signs of a
Chemical
Reaction

THe Glow Stick

8

What are some ways we can change the rate of reaction?

9

Temperature
Concentration
Surface Area
Increase Pressure
Use a catalyst

Watch the reaction of the glow stick as it is placed in the different temperature waters?

10

Multiple Choice

In what temperature water did the glow stick glow brighter?

• Hot Water

• Cold Water

• It didn't change its brightness

Drag and Drop

The glow stick was brighter in the hot water because in the hot water, the molecules begin to move​

Using a Catalyst

Fill out the lab worksheet for the remaining parts of the lab.

Watch as the teacher combines 3 different
materials

Hydrogen Peroxide

H2O2

Dishwashing Liquid

(Mixture) Used to
trapped gas given
off by Hydrogen
Peroxide

Sodium Iodide
(Catalyst for
Reaction)

NaI

​Potassium Iodide
Catalyst for reaction
KI

The reaction we saw has the equation

2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 + Energy
