1. Chemical Reaction - process of one or more substances combining and converting to form new substances with different properties
2. Reactants are mixed together (react) chemically to form a new product or products.
3. Based on class observations and activities, fill out the chart below:

4. Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be lost or gained in a chemical reaction; the number of atoms are the same before and after the reaction.
5. A balanced chemical equation illustrates the Conservation of Mass.
6. Rust is a reaction between Iron and Oxygen.
7. Chemical Reactions can cause substances to either combine into a new substance or separate into multiple substances.
8. Exothermic Reaction - a reaction in which heat is released
9. Give an example of an Exothermic Reaction.  _______________________________________
10. Endothermic Reaction - a reaction that get cold because Energy is being absorbed while reacting.
11. Give an example of an Endothermic Reaction.  _____________________________________
12. An increase in temperature, surface area, and/or concentration increases reaction rate.
13. A catalyst increases reaction rate but does not undergo a permanent chemical change itself.
