2. When a seltzer tablet is placed in water, a chemical reaction occurs.

The bubbles that form

and rise out of the water are carbon dioxide gas and are a sign that achemical
reaction is taking place.
7. According to the collision theory, the following criteria must be met in order for a chemical
reaction to occur:
Molecules must collide with sufficient energy, known as the activation energy, so that chemical
bonds can break. Molecules must collide with the proper orientation. A collision that meets
these two criteria, and that results in a chemical reaction, is known as a successful collision or
an effective collision.

9. In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants can end up in the
products. No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a
chemicalreaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants
are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.
