High Five Facts - Chemical Reactions

The video tutorial explains chemical reactions as transformations where reactants become products, unlike simple mixtures. It highlights signs of reactions, such as color changes and bubbles, and discusses energy changes, distinguishing between exothermic and endothermic reactions. The speed of reactions varies based on factors like temperature and reactant amounts. Chemical reactions are integral to daily life, occurring in digestion, car engines, and the atmosphere, and understanding them aids in fields like medicine and energy.

What distinguishes a chemical reaction from a simple mixture?

• Chemical reactions do not produce any gas.

• Mixtures always result in a temperature change.
