Exothermic & Endothermic Processes – see RB pg 34 table 2.5
Exothermic: release energy; surrounding temp increases A + B → AB + energy
- CH4 + 3 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O + energy
Endothermic: require/absorb energy; surrounding temp decreases AB + energy→ A + B
-H2O(s) + energy → H2O (l)

Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter/Energy
Matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In any chemical total numbers & kinds of atoms must remain unchanged in the reaction. This is called a balanced equation.
Charge, energy, mass, and # atoms are conserved (unchanged) in balanced reactions

Signs of a Chemical Reaction
Evolution of heat and light Formation of a gas Formation of a precipitate Color change
S.Barry
Chemical Change – chemical composition changesSigns of a Chemical ReactionEvolution of heat and lightFormation of a gasFormation of a precipitateColor change
Physical Change – chemical composition remains the same
Examples of a physical changeRipping, tearing, breakingBoiling, melting, freezing, vaporing a substance (a phase change)dissolving
Examples of a chemical changeBurning, rusting, oxidizingFlammable, explosive, reacting

A. Balancing Steps
1. Write the unbalanced equation.
2. Count atoms on each side.
3. Add coefficients to make #s equal.
Coefficient subscript = # of atoms
4. Reduce coefficients to lowest possible ratio, if necessary.
5. Double check atom balance!!!
S.Barry
B. Helpful Tips
Balance one element at a time. Update ALL atom counts after adding
a coefficient. If an element appears more than
once per side, balance it last. Balance polyatomic ions as single
units. “1 SO4” instead of “1 S” and “4 O”
