Experiments were done on a certain pure substance X to determine some of its properties. There's a description of each experiment in the table
below.
In each case, decide whether the property measured was a chemical or physical property of X, if you can. If you don't have enough information
to decide, choose can't decide in the third column.

A sample of X is carefully weighed and put inside a sealed calorimeter. The
calorimeter is heated electrically, and the amount of heat added determined by
monitoring the electrical current used. The temperature of X is carefully measured,
and from the temperature change and the amount of heat added the value of H
may be calculated.

A small sample of X is put on the pan of a sensitive balance and its weight
measured. Next, a magnet is brought near the pan, and the weight is measured
again. From the difference of weights in and out of the magnetic field, the value of
M may be calculated.

A sample of solid X is carefully weighed and put inside a sealed flask. Pure
hydrogen gas is added to the flask, and the mixture heated until the hydrogen
starts being consumed. After hydrogen stops being consumed, the contents of the
flask are removed and weighed, and from the increase in weight the value of may
be calculated.
