    Reversible changes

    Heating and cooling make substances change.


    Some changes can be reversible changes or irreversible changes.

    Reversible changes: are changes that can be changed back.


    Example:
    Place an ice cube on your desk. It changes into liquid water.
    This liquid water can be cooled and changed back into ice.

    Irreversible changes: are changes that can’t be changed back and forms a new
    substance.
    Example: Burning paper, baking a cake.
    The substances change its properties.
    Dissolving
    • Some substances can dissolve in water or other liquids.
    • When we have a mixture of two substances, and one dissolves in the other, it
    forms a solution.
    • For example: Salt dissolves in water.
    • Solution is made of two parts, solute and solvent
    • Solute: is the part that dissolves, usually solid.
    • Solvent: is the part that helps in dissolving, usually liquid.
    • When a solute dissolves, the particles of the solute move between the solvent
    particles, it spreads evenly.
    • When a solute dissolves, it disappears (can’t be seen anymore).
    • A solution has a uniform appearance; it looks the same throughout the whole thing.
    • The picture shows how the solute particles spread when they dissolve in water.
    • How can we make solids dissolve faster?
    1) Stirring
    2) Temperature

    1) Stirring
    Stirring causes the particles of the solute to spread out into the spaces between the particles of the
    solvent more quickly. We say that stirring increases the rate at which a solute dissolves.
    The rate is how fast something happens.

    2) Temperature
    The particles in matter are always moving.
    When we increase the temperature of a substance, the heat adds energy to the particles of the substance.
    This energy causes them to move faster and spread out more. This will increase the rate of dissolving.
    Chemical Reactions
    • Chemical reaction is when substances mix and react and form a new substance.
    • In a chemical reaction, the properties of a substance changes.
    • The substances that react (bind with each other) are called reactants
    • The new substances that are formed/produced are called products.
    Reactants Products

    Example of a chemical reaction:


    2. Hydrogen + Oxygen -> water
    1. Chlorine Sodium Salt (we can eat)
    (poisonous) (explosive)
    Reactants: Hydrogen and oxygen
    Products: water
    Reactants: Chlorine and sodium Products: Salt
    Products will have different properties than the reactants.

    • Evidence for a chemical reaction:


    • 1. formation of gas (small bubbles)
    • 2. change in color
