Chemical Reactions

What you should know.
  • A manufacturing process changes raw material into a useful product.
  • A change which makes a new substance is a chemical change (reaction).
  • Things which can happen when a chemical reaction takes place.
  • The blast furnace gets iron from iron ore.
  • Reduce means take oxygen away.
  • Burning is a chemical reaction. It is also called combustion.
  • When a fuel burns in air it makes oxides.
  • Exothermic reactions give out heat (energy).
  • Oxidation happens when substances gain oxygen.
  • Respiration is an exothermic reaction.
  • Yeast is used to make alcohol.
  • Fermentation is a process used to make alcohol.
  • It is dangerous to drink and drive.
  • Air and water are needed for iron to rust.
  • Salt speeds up rusting.
  • Rusting is an oxidation reaction.
  • Virtually all materials are made through chemical reactions.
  • Some chemical reactions, e.g. rusting, are not useful.
  • Acid rain affects the environment.
