Chapter 5.1 Properties and Changes
Pg. 178 2. a) Liquid nitrogen boiling at -196°C is a physical property because it describes the boiling point of a substance, which is also when it changes state. A change of state, from a liquid to a gas, is a physical property because there is no new substance being created.
b) Propane, leaking from a damaged tank, igniting easily is a chemical property because the propane changes into new substances when it undergoes this chemical reaction. Flammability describes the behaviour of a material when it is chemically changed,.
c) Silver jewellery tarnishing in the air is a chemical property because the silver is reacting with the air, changing the silver

Density describes a substance and doesn't involve a chemical reaction to take place between the water and the oil. No new materials or substances are formed.
e) Meat darkening when it is heated on the grill is a chemical property because it describes a behaviour of a substance during a chemical reaction. The raw meat is being changed into cooked meat, the proteins are being altered.
f) Sulfur trioxide changing into sulfuric acid in the atmosphere is a chemical property because it shows what is happening to the sulfur trioxide as it is reacting with the water in the atmosphere. This is is the behaviour of sulfur trioxide in a chemical change.
3. a) Air being blended into ice cream giving it a lighter texture is a physical change because the air is not reacting with the ice cream, it is just merely "filling the spaces." The air is not producing a new substance because they have not been chemically bound, it is just a mixture.
b) When popping corn is heated, water inside the kernels becomes a a gas and expands. This creates the pressure to pop a kernel. This is a physical change because the water is just changing state from a liquid to a gas. There is no new substance produced, the popcorn is in a new shape and the water in a new state. Although it cannot be reversed, it can still be a physical

One of the signs of a chemical change is that sound is produced. The oxygen, fire and hydrogen react together, creating a popping noise (this is the hydrogen combusting).
d) Ethanol, an alternative source of energy, being used to power cars is a chemical change due to the fact that it combusts in the car's engine with oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water. The ethanol reacts with oxygen and produces two new substances. The products are different from the reactants proving there was a chemical change.
e) Geothermal energy being used to heat water to turn turbines and produce electricity is a physical change because the geothermal energy never reacts with anything to produce a new substance. The energy is merely being transferred from one place to another, under the ground to pipes. Even the turbines moving due to the heated water is a physical change because they are not chemically reacting with anything.
f) When silver rings leave stains on people'2 fingers, it is a chemical change. One can see one of the telltale signs of a chemical change, a colour formation. The silver ring reacts with the acids on skin causing it to oxidize and tarnish. This turns the skin a greenish
There was an assortment of different changes indicating that chemical changes were taking place such as change in color or chemicals bubbling when combined with another chemical.
What is the appearance of reactant, Evidence of chemical reaction, and properties of a product?
A physical change includes a change in the material without affecting its composition, such as the physical state change. However, a chemical change includes the change in the composition of the substance. The change in color, formation of a gas or a solid product, and the production of energy are the evidences of a chemical reaction, thus, of a chemical change.
It may be surprising; however, the process of baking a cake involves a sufficient amount of chemistry. A physical property is a property that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. For example, the color of the cake does not affect the volume, texture, or flavor of the cake; it only affects the appearance of it. Color is a physical property of the cake. On the other hand, a chemical property is a property or behavior of a substance when it undergoes a chemical change or reaction. For example, a chemical property of the cake would be that the cake can burn, spoil, or be digested. Everything added to the cake batter affects the texture of it. For example, without the flour, the cake batter would be close to a liquid, but by adding the flour it gives the cake more volume and it changes the texture. A chemical reaction/change is any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. When the cake batter bakes and turns into cake, this is a chemical change. In a physical reaction/change, the molecules rearrange, but it does not affect their internal structures (no new substance is formed). When eggs are whipped, it is a physical change or
A physical change occurs when a substance undergoes a change in form or physical properties without a chemical reaction or the creation of a new substance. For example, when water is heated, it creates steam. The steam is still water, but it is in a gaseous state. In the salon, when we apply temporary color to the hair, we are creating a physical change
gases and smokes could have carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide in it. Also the different colors in a firework involves chemistry too! Fireworks get their different colors from metal compounds.
Physical properties are observable without changing the identity of the substance. Examples of physical properties would be; size, shape, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, density, etc. Chemical properties aren’t observable without changing the identity of the substance. Examples of chemical properties would be; flammability, creating gas bubbles, creating new chemical product, rusting, etc. In a physical change the identity of the substance doesn’t change. But in a chemical change the identity of the substance does change. In this experiment we observed and created the five scenarios. In scenario one we mixed in five grams of table salt to 100mL of water. In scenario two we heated up a 2cm magnesium strip in a crucible. Then scenario
A physical property is a quality of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition. An example of a physical property is color and hardness. A chemical property is when a substance undergoes a chemical change or reaction which change the identity of the substance. An example of a chemical property would be heat of combustion.
Chemical changes happen on a molecular level when you have two or more molecules that interact. Chemical changes happen when atomic bonds are broken or created during chemical reactions. Anything that is burning is a chemical change. Or frying an egg is a chemical change cause it can not go back to wear it was before theres no fixing.
It cannot be separated into components by physical separation methods without breaking chemical bonds. Chemical substances can be chemical elements, chemical compounds,alloys. A chemical substance. Is a form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. It cannot be separated into components by physical separation methods, i.e., without breaking chemical bonds. Chemical substances can be chemical elements, chemical compounds, ions or alloy.Chemical substances are often called 'pure' to set them apart from mixtures. A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory. Other chemical substances commonly encountered in pure form are diamond (carbon), gold, table salt (sodium chloride) and refined sugar sucrose). However, in practice, no substance is entirely pure, and chemical purity is specified according to the intended use of the chemical.Chemical substances exist as solids, liquids, gases or plasma, and may change between these phases of matter with changes in temperature or pressure.Chemical reactions convert one chemical substance into another. Forms of energy, such as light and heat, are not considered to be matter, and thus they are not "substances" in this
Physical changes are usually changes of states or matter. Chemical changes happen on a molecular level and chemical changes happen when atomic bonds are broken or created during chemical reactions. Some chemical changes are extremely small and happen over a series of steps. Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. At the molecular level, chemical change involves making or breaking of bonds between atoms. Physical change rearranges molecules but doesn't affect their internal structures. The overall process can't cleanly be placed in either category.
The purpose of the lab “Chemical or Physical Change” is to analyze changes of matter and determine whether a physical or chemical change took place based on the observations and evidence acquired from the six experiments. Based on previous knowledge, a physical change is a change in a substance appearance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance. This type of change in matter only changes the physical properties of the substance which are the properties that can be observed and measured without changing the materials composition. Examples include ripping, cutting, cracking, splitting, and changes in states of matter such as melting or freezing. This type of change in matter can usually be undone. A chemical
Chemical changes often cause color changes, fizzing or foaming, heat, or the production of sound, light, or odor
Physical changes can be seen through an altering of the substances physical property. A substances physical property is observed and measured without changing the composition of the subject. Descriptive words that would help to identify a substance’s physical property include hard, soft, brittle, flexible, heavy, and light just to name a few.
A chemical reaction is a process in which elements or compounds react with one another to create new or different substances. There are two parts to a reaction. Those two parts are the products and the reactants. The reactants are the chemicals or chemical compounds that are going through the reaction itself. The products are chemical elements or chemical compounds that are produced as a result of the reactant or reactants reacting. There are four key indications that there’s a chemical reaction is taking place. Those four signs include a change in color and/or odor, formation of a precipitate or a gas, the release or absorption of energy (light, heat, electricity), and if the reaction is irreversible. Along with this information, there are ways to predict the products of a reaction.
