Practice Chemical Reaction in Chemistry

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

A process where substances (reactants) are transformed into different substances (products).

Old bonds break, new bonds form. You end up with different stuff than you started with.

Example 1

easy
Identify the reactants and products in the following reaction: 2\text{H}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O}.

Example 2

medium
List four signs that a chemical reaction has occurred, and give an example of each.

Example 3

easy
Is dissolving sugar in water a chemical reaction? Explain.

Example 4

easy
A student heats sugar until it turns brown and gives off a new smell. Is this a chemical reaction or just a physical change? Explain.
