Milk rotting is an example of a what type of change?
Chemical
In science, a yield sign is used instead of an equal sign. Why?
What you start with and what you end with are not the same. Chemical changes result in new substances.
Balance this Equation
P4O10 + 6H2O --> 4H3PO4

subscript
What are changes that do not change the composition of a substance, but may alter the appearance?
Physical Change
What is this called in a chemical equation?
yield sign
This states that the number and kinds of atoms on the reactants has to be the same as the number and kinds of atoms on the products side.
