Document Summary
Chemical reaction: substances converted into different ones. Combustion reaction: substance combines with oxygen to more one or more oxygen containing compounds; produces heat. Heat produced by combustion reaction supplies society"s energy needs > e. x. com- bustion of natural gas to cook food, heat homes and burning fossil fuels (coal, oil) for electricity. Chemical equation > reactants on left side of equation and products on right side. (g) gas, (l) liquid, (s) solid, (aq) aqueous. Chemical reactions must be balanced to not violate the law of conservation of mass (mass is neither created nor destroyed; mass of products=mass of reactants) Adding coefficients changes the number of molecules of a substance. Rule for balancing: always balance atoms in compounds before atoms in pure ele- ments. Chemical reactions that involved reactants dissolved in water are the most common and important. A homogenous mixture of two substances is a solution (major component is solvent and minor is solute)
