Using the chart (picture above) to help you if you need it, match the vocabulary word to the correct definition by writing the letter of the word in the box.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Atom
Matter that is made of only one kind of atom or molecule
Mixture
Matter that is made of more than one substance
Matter
The stuff that things are made of
Molecule
A tiny piece of matter that is too small to see
Substance
A group of atoms joined together in a particular way
In the previous lesson, we realized that it is not always possible to figure out whether or not a chemical reaction has happened just by observing changes in properties. Today, we’ll look at the nanoscale to figure out if a chemical reaction has happened or not.

Did a Chemical Reaction Happen?

Chemical Reaction - Substances are mixed and at least one new substance with different properties (with different molecules) is formed.

Directions:
  • Analyze each diagram. Look carefully at both the observable scale and the nanoscale.
  • Think about whether there is evidence that a chemical reaction happened.
  • Answer the question below each diagram.

Modeling Chemical Reactions

We know that during a chemical reaction, new substances and molecules form. But where do the new molecules come from? Let’s find out by modeling the reactions we’ve studied.
Chemical Formula: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O.

1. Together with your class, use the Baking Soda and Vinegar Model to show which atoms make up the molecules that form after baking soda and vinegar react.

2. Look at the molecule key to see which atoms are in each molecule.
Sodium acetate molecule - 1 sodium atom, 2 carbon atoms, 2 oxygen atoms, 3 hydrogen atoms

Water molecule - 1 oxygen atom, 2 hydrogen atoms

Carbon dioxide - 1 carbon atom, 2 oxygen atoms
Use this diagram / model to answer the questions below:

1

How many Sodium (Na) atoms are there BEFORE the chemical reaction?

1

How many Sodium (Na) atoms are there AFTER the chemical reaction?

1

How many Carbon (C) atoms are there BEFORE the chemical reaction?

1

How many Carbon (C) atoms are there AFTER the chemical reaction?

1

How many Hydrogen (H) atoms are there BEFORE the chemical reaction?

1
