A chemical reaction is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular structure of a substance. Once this happens, you will not be able to reverse the chemical change. To observe the factors that affect the reaction, an experiment was performed on CaCO3 to explore the many states of matter. Kinetic theory is the first topic to explore. Kinetic theory is the amount of energy each state has. For example, solids have little kinetic energy and gas has the most. The denser the substance is, the less kinetic energy it has. All matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are continuously in motion. When heat is added, the particles vibrate faster and take up a larger surface area however the mass of the substance stays the same no matter
