Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation::
If milk turns sour, this should be classified as a chemical change or physical change.
Concept Introduction:
In the physical change, the material or substance will not change its chemical identity only changes its physical state like solid into liquid or liquid into gas. For example, water changes its physical sate when ice melts into water.
In the chemical change, the material or substance will change its chemical identity means there is a new substance formed by the formation heat, energy or gas. For example: hydrogen and oxygen react to form water which is a new substance.
(b)
Interpretation::
If wax is melted over a flame catches fire and burns is a chemical change or physical change should be determined.

- Suppose 33 mL of 1.20 M HCl is added to 42 mL of a solution containing excess sodium hydroxide, NaOH, in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The solution temperature, originally 25.0C, rises to 31.8C. Give the enthalpy change, H, for the reaction: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l) Express the answer as a thermochemical equation. For simplicity, assume that the heat capacity and the density of the final solution in the cup are those of water. (In more accurate work, these values must be determined.) Also assume that the total volume of the solution equals the sum of the volumes of HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq).arrow_forwarda. A person with a fever has a temperature of 102.5F.
