What is a chemical reaction?
A chemical reaction is a method of measuring temperature changes in substances.
A chemical reaction is a process that only involves physical changes.
A chemical reaction is a process where substances (reactants) are transformed into different substances (products) through the rearrangement of atoms.
A chemical reaction is when substances are mixed without any change.
What are the signs of a chemical reaction?
No change in color or temperature
Color change, temperature change, formation of a precipitate, gas production, and change in properties.
Absence of gas production
Formation of a solid without a reaction
What is the difference between a reactant and a product?
Reactants are the starting materials; products are the substances formed.
Reactants are formed during a reaction; products are consumed.
Reactants are the final outcome; products are the initial materials.
Reactants are always gases; products are always solids.
What is the law of conservation of mass?
Mass is only conserved in physical reactions.
Mass can be created in chemical reactions.
Mass is conserved in chemical reactions.
Mass is lost during physical changes.
What are exothermic and endothermic reactions?
Exothermic reactions release energy; endothermic reactions absorb energy.
Exothermic reactions do not involve energy changes; endothermic reactions are spontaneous.
Exothermic reactions are always faster than endothermic reactions.
Exothermic reactions absorb energy; endothermic reactions release energy.
What role do catalysts play in chemical reactions?
Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy.
Catalysts change the products of the reaction to create new substances.
Catalysts are consumed in the reaction and do not affect the outcome.
Catalysts slow down chemical reactions by increasing activation energy.
What is an acid-base reaction?
A process where two acids combine to form a stronger acid.
An acid-base reaction is a chemical process where an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt.
A reaction between two bases that results in a gas.
A reaction that only produces carbon dioxide and oxygen.
How do you balance a chemical equation?
Count only the total number of molecules on each side.
Change the chemical formulas to match the number of atoms.
Balance the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
Ignore the coefficients and focus on the subscripts.
What is the pH scale used for?
To determine the color of a solution.
To measure the temperature of a solution.
The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
To assess the viscosity of a solution.
Can you name a common chemical reaction that occurs in everyday life?
Precipitation
Sublimation
Fermentation
Combustion
