 Warm Up Question
• The hospital cafeteria is ordering
hamburger for the year. If the portion
size is 125 grams and there are 225
servings a day, how many kg should
be ordered for the year? How many
pounds should be ordered for a 10
year period?
Answer to Warm Up
Question
 Chemical Changes
• A.K.A.  Chemical Reactions
• A process whereby one or more substances
interact in such a way as to be converted into a
new one or ones.
• Chemical properties of a substance may only
be determined from observing a chemical
change.
 Chemical Changes
• The ability of a substance to undergo chemical
reactions and to form new substances
constitutes its chemical properties.
• For any single substance, chemical properties
are unique & definitive.
• A chemical change (or reaction) results in the
formation of new substance or substances with
generally a different set or sets of physical
AND chemical properties.
 Chemical Properties
Factors affecting a substances
Chemical Properties are ultimately
based on their Electron Structure /
Reactivity.

Find your Brainy Smurf and brainstorm

chemical properties.
 Chemical Properties
Examples of Chemical Properties are:
• Electronegativity
• Reactivity
• Ionization Potential
• Flammability
• pH
• Toxicity
• Oxidation state preference
 Chemical Change/Reaction
• Evidence of a chemical change/reaction:

Please find your Radioactiveman and brainstorm

signs or evidence of a chemical
change/reaction.
 Chemical Change/Reaction
Evidence of a Chemical Change/Reaction are:
• Formation of a gas or precipitate
• Evolution or absorption of heat
• Emission of light
• Color change
• Obvious change in physical properties of the original
substance
• Rusting, rotting, decomposing, fermenting, corroding,
growing, decaying, odors emitted, sprouting are all descriptors
indicating that a chemical change is taking place.
 Chemical Reactions
• When one or more substances are changed into
new substances.
• Reactants- stuff you start with
• Products- What you make
• NEW PROPERTIES
• Often times not easily reversed
