Chemical Reactions

A chemical change is different than a physical change because in a chemical change

• chemicals are used

• molecules do not physically touch

• a new substance is formed and in a physical no new substance is formed

• the change can be seen but in a physical change it cannot

What does it mean for a reaction to be endothermic? Choose 2 of the following.

• When two substances react, the temperature of the mixture decreases.

• When two substances react, the temperature of the mixture increases.

• There is less energy going into the reactant to break the bond than there is energy leaving the product.

• There is more energy going into the reactant to break the bond than there is energy leaving the product.

• The amount of energy entering and leaving is the same.
