Revise: Rates of reactionIndicators of a chemical reaction

Chemical reactions happen at different rates. If you know how to control the speed of a reaction, you can measure its rate. This data can be shown by a rate graph.

Indicators of a chemical reaction

A chemical reaction is when one or more substances change and produce one or more new chemical substances.

The substances that are involved in a chemical reaction and that are changed by it are called reactants.

The substances that are produced by a chemical reaction are called products.

Chemical reactions happen all around us (and inside us!) all the time. We might not always notice them but there are four indicators that show a chemical reaction has taken place:

  • colour change
  • effervescence
  • precipitation
  • energy (temperature) change
