CH 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 45: Limiting Reagent, Chemical Equation, Reagent
Document Summary
Chemistry chapter 8 outline: physical change: a change that alters the state or appearance of a substance but not its chemical composition. Chemical change: a change that alters the molecular composition of a substance: chemical reactions: a process by which one or more substances are converted to one or more different substances. Chemical equation: a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction; a balanced equation contains equal numbers of the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. Reactant: a starting substance in a chemical reaction; reactants appear on the left-hand side of a chemical equation. Products: a substance produced in a chemical reaction; products appear on the right- hand side of a chemical equation. Phases: phases are the states that each of the reactants and products are in gas (g), liquid (l), solid (s), and aqueous, water solution, (aq)
