How Do Reactants Change During a Reaction?

Which of these is true of chemical reactions?

• In a chemical reaction, one or more substances undergo a change in state.

• In a chemical reaction, the substances that are combined always form a gas.

• In a chemical reaction, one or more new substances are formed from one or more other substances.

• All of the above.

Reactants are substances that

• esists after a reaction.

• change as a result of the reaction.

• change "states" as a result of the reaction.

• are the parts of the substances left over after a chemical reaction.

In a chemical reaction, a product is

• the substance that exists before the chemical reaction.

• the gas that always forms as a result of the chemical reaction.

• a different substance than the substance from which it came.

• a property used to identify substances in a chemical reaction.

How are scientists able to tell the difference between reactants and products?

• Scientists watch the chemical reaction take place.

• Scientists look for the vivid yellow color in a liquid or solid product.

• Scientists use a table that tells them the products of all possible chemical reactions.

• Scientists compare the properties of the products to the properties of the reactants.

Which of these is NOT a property that scientists use to identify a substance?

• density

• flammability

Chemical properties are

• the steps of a chemical reaction from beginning to end.

• properties of matter that are only noticeable when thermal energy is applied.

• properties of substances that are not related to their physical appearance.

• properties of matter that are only noticeable during or after a chemical reaction.

What determines whether a reactant undergoes a chemical reaction?

• the ability of the reactant to change state during the chemical reaction

• the flammability of the reactants prior to the chemical reaction

• the number of reactants that are involved in a chemical reaction
