(a)
Interpretation:
Substance does not react with oxygen at
Concept Introduction:
All kinds of matter are distinguished from one another based on their properties. This is used for description and identification of the matter. Two types of properties are there for matter and they are physical property and chemical property.
If a property of a matter is observed without changing the identity of the substance, then it is a physical property. Some of the common physical properties are melting point, boiling point, color etc. Physical state of the substance may change but not its chemical identity during determination of physical property.
Chemical property of a substance is the one that tells about the substance behavior to undergo or resist change in forming a new substance. Chemical property of a substance is the one that changes the identity of the substance.

Interpretation:
Substance react explosively with oxygen at

- Characterize gases, liquids, and solids in terms of compressibility and fluidity.arrow_forwardDuring a very cold winter, the temperature may remain below freezing for extended periods. However, fallen snow can still disappear, even though it cannot melt. This is possible because a solid can vaporize directly, without passing through the liquid state. Is this process (sublimation) a physical or a chemical change?arrow_forwardDescribe a piece of ice at the particulate level. Then describe what happens to the ice as it is heated until it melts and eventually boils.arrow_forward
- Which substance is a liquid mixture? a. lemonade b. brass c. air d. woodarrow_forwardThe hottest temperature recorded in the United States is 134F in Greenland Ranch, CA. The melting point of phosphorus is 44C. At this temperature, would phosphorus be a liquid or a solid?arrow_forwardClassify the italicized property as chemical or physical: a a shiny piece of iron metal gets rusty when left outside; b the purple crystalline solid potassium permanganate forms a purple solution when dissolved in water; c the shiny metal mercury is a liquid at room temperature.arrow_forward
- Classify each of the following properties as chemical or physical: a. the tendency of silver to tarnish b. the flammability of alcohol c. the volatility (ease of vaporization) of alcohol d. the malleability (ability to be pounded into sheets) of metalarrow_forwardA cup of coffee is an example of: a. a liquid pure substance b. a gaseous mixture c. a solid pure substance d. a liquid mixture e. a solid mixturearrow_forwardMixtures can be classified as either homogeneous or heterogeneous. Compounds cannot be classified in this way. Why not? In your answer, explain what is meant by heterogeneous and homogeneous.arrow_forward
