    Analyzing chemical change Abstract Changes can be chemical or physical in nature. If a chemical change is taking place we will be breaking bonds and forming new bonds and therefore creating a new substance. In a Physical change we will have the same substance but simply in a new form. (Dickinson et al. 197). In order to collect evidence to prove a chemical change is occurring we need a change in the indicators. The more active a chemical is the more likely it will have a chemical reaction with another

    Type of Reactions We did a lab on many reactions to find the products of the reactions. We conducted four group experiments and three class experiments, following very strict safety procedures given to us by our instructor. We used goggles and aprons which were required at all times. We could not sniff any gasses or walk into clouds of smoke unless we were instructed to. We had to describe the reactants and products and what is taking place during the reaction. Procedures We had to follow seven

    consumed. They have the ability to increase the rate of reaction in a chemical reaction. Catalysts achieve this by lowering the amount of energy required for a reaction to take place, which means that it occurs at a quicker rate. Potentially, molecules that would once have taken years to interact, can take seconds with the addition of a catalyst. The overall purpose of a catalyst is to ensure that reactions proceed effectively which is why a range of catalysts are commonly used in many elements

    Law, which states that the change in enthalpy for any chemical reaction depends on its products and reactants and it does not depend upon the pathway or the number of steps involved in the reaction between the reactant and product. Introduction: For chemical reactions to occur, chemical bonds are broken in a given set of reactants, and new chemical bonds are formed in a given set of products. Hence chemical reactions involve changes in energy. The measure of energy changes

    is a chemical reaction? A chemical reaction is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance. There is six types of chemical reactions named Synthesis, Decomposition, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, Combustion, and Acid base reactions. Synthesis is when two or more reactants combine to form one product. Synthesis always forms a compound. The equation for synthesis is A + B ---> AB. Water, which is H2O is a good example of a synthesis reaction. An

    which helps chemical reactions begin to move without the enzymes being changed in the process. Enzymes work to complete only one task. But there are a variety of different enzymes in the body that each one has their specific task to complete. Something that enzymes do is they are used in making foods, used for digestion. Many of the chemical reactions in the body have a bunch of energy in them when they happen, which means it can occur in a faster amount of time. Enzymes speed up a reaction by lowering

    Chemical kinetics is the study of rates during chemical processes and the speed at which they occur (Chm.Davidson, 2016). Chemical kinetics can be altered by the effect of various variables and the re-arrangement of atoms. An example of kinetic processes can be seen in many experiments such as the ‘Landolt Iodine Clock Reaction.’ Clock reactions represent chemical reactions in which two colourless solutions are mixed together; at first no reaction takes place but after a short period of time the

    temperature on a chemical reaction. Hypothesis: If the temperature (I.V.) of materials in the reaction are increased, the reaction time (D.V.) will decrease. Variables: In this experiment, the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the chemicals is the independent variable. To change the temperature, the materials are placed in a bath of water being heated by a hotplate. The reaction time (in seconds) is the dependent variable of this experiment. This will be changed by the temperature of the chemicals, and as

    Introduction Chemical reactions occur all around us, even in us. Millions of reactions occur in our bodies every day, let alone outside of out bodies (ChemHealthWeb.gov, 2015). Human bodies create energy by using glucose in a series of chemical reactions to release energy. This is called respiration and it occurs in all living cells. Some chemical reactions are visible such as oxidation. This is a reaction between some metals and oxygen. Electrons jump from the metal to the oxygen and form a layer

    Types of Chemical Reactions The purpose of the lab experiment was to identify different types of chemical reaction and the products of the formulas. The different types of chemical reaction include decomposition, single replacement, synthesis, combustion, and double replacement. There were many hazards that were involved in these experiments. Some of them were heat burns, base burns, alkali burns, catching hair on fire, the risk of getting chemicals in the eyes, spilling the chemicals, the risk
