Q

What are physical changes?

A

Physical changes are changes in size, shape, volume, or state of matter. Matter keeps the same properties. Examples include sawing wood, shredding paper, and melting wax.

Q

A ——- happens when one substance changes into another substance

A

Chemical change

22
Q

During a ——–such as tearing or crushing, a substance keeps its identity.

A

Physical change

23
Q

A sentence that describes a chemical reaction using symbols is called a

A

Chemical equation

24
Q

Substance formed by chemical reaction is called a

A

Product

25
Q

The change of phase from the gas to liquid is called

A

Condensation

26
Q

A substance that is used in a chemical reaction is called a

A

Reactant

27
Q

Is ice melting a physical change or a chemical change?

A

Physical change

28
Q

Is an Iron gate rusting an example of a physical change or chemical change?

A

A chemical change. The iron in the gate is combining with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide or rust.

29
Q

Paper being torn an example of a physical change or chemical change?

A

Physical change.

30
Q

Is a salt forming an example of a physical change or chemical change?

A

A chemical change

31
Q

What happens when a chemical change occurs?

A

One kind of matter changes into a different kind of matter with different properties.

32
Q

What can you observe that might be evidence of a chemical reaction?

A

Chemical changes often produce a gas or a solid. Chemical changes can also cause heat, light, fizzing, or color change.

33
Q

What are some physical changes that matter can go through?

A

Changes in size, shape, volume, and state of matter are physical changes.

34
Q

What kind of matter has particles that are able to move around a lot?

A

A gas.

35
Q

What kind of matter has particles that can barely move?

A

Solid.

36
Q

Okay matter has particles that can slide by one another? A solid, liquid, or a gas?

A

Liquid.

37
Q

What are the characteristics of a solid?

A

Solids have their own shape and a solid volume does not change.

38
Q

What are the characteristics of a liquid?

A

Liquids do not have their own shape. They take their shape of their container.

39
Q

Are the characteristics of the gas?

A

Compared to solids and liquids, particles of a gas are very far apart. Has they are very far apart gas particles generally do not affect one another unless they collide.

40
Q

What do we call the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid?

A

The freezing point.

41
Q

As an example of condensation?

A

When grass is wet in the morning, it is because water vapor from the air has touched the cold grass and condensed into liquid drops.

42
Q

Hydrogen peroxide can break apart to form water and oxygen. Which type of chemical reaction is this (replacement, decomposition, or combination)?

A

A decomposition reaction

43
Q

What is the product of magnesium and oxygen?

A

Magnesium oxide.

2Mg + O2 —–> 2MgO

44
Q

What does the law of conservation of mass say?

A

Matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction.

45
Q

Which Can only be separated by chemical process (matter, a mixture, a solution, or compound)?

A

A compound.

46
Q

What is a chemical change? Give an example of something that is going through a chemical change.

A

A chemical change occurs when one kind of matter changes into a different kind of matter with different properties. Fire is a chemical change where wood is converted into Ash, water vapor, and carbon dioxide gas.

47
Q

What is the product of the chemical change? Give an example.

A

When a chemical change occurs reactants are rearranged to form problem. In a fire wood under the chemical change to become, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.

48
Q

Give an example of how a chemical reaction can be used to separate important elements?

A

Iron ore contains iron oxide. heating iron ore in a hot furnace with carbon allows the iron to separate from the oxygen in the ore.The result is pure iron and carbon dioxide. This process works because of chemical properties.
