Q

Physical Property (two ways) and another word for property! What does it lead to?

A

A CHARACTERISTIC of a substance that you can observe/ measure that won’t change the identity of the substance. Or.. are measurable characteristics of something observable, without changing the composition or identity of the object or substance that will lead to a physical change.

Q

Examples of physical property starters and a few examples:

A

Melting point, boiling point, (all phase change points), mass, volume, length, density, texture, breakable, bendable, flexible, magnetism/attraction, stretching, elastic, viscosity.

  • Separating the OREO mixture by licking out the icing in the middle. (You are using physical properties by shape, size, color).
  • When iron and sand combine they are not separated by size, but by the physical property of attraction to magnets.

Q

Physical Change

A

Still the same material, but in a different shape, size, or form. Involve energy changes, but the kind of substance- the identity of element and compounds do not change.

Q

During a chemical changes, are atoms lost or gained?

A

During a chemical change atoms are not lost of gained when changing from one substance to another even if it is a new size of shape. (The law of conservation of mass).

16
Q

Example of the law of conservation of mass and explain.

A

Ex, a burning log turning into ashes. (The Mass was not lost in the chemical change even if the pile of ashes is smaller because you have to take into consideration that if you collected all the oxygen in the air that was combined with the log during the burning and all the smoke and gas that escaped from the burning log it would be equal.)

17
Q

Chemical Change example starters:

A

Ex, cooking, baking, BBQing, molding, fizzing, odor (some), bubbles, sizzling, exploding, rusting, grilling, combining, toasting, burning, sugar caramelizing, digesting, producing, turning black.

18
Q

Examples of color for physical change and chemical change.

A

Physical- nails and food dye. Chemical- hair and mold.

19
Q

Example of physical and chemical changes.

A

Ex, shredding paper, chopping logs, salt water, breaking your collarbone, heating iron (change in appearance- color), and food being broken down by your teeth.

20
Q

Why do all physical and chemical changes in matter include a change in energy?

A

For physical changes: matter can change state when it loses or gains thermal energy. For chemical changes, they are ALWAYS transfering to a new substance!

21
Q

Distillation and explain.

A

Is a process for separating substances in a mixture by evaporating a liquid and re-condensing its vapor. Using an apparatus. (Physical means) Vapor of the liquid with the boiling point forms first.

22
Q

What is the evidence that a physical change has taken place?

A

It is still the same substance, has the same identity, and is the same material but in a different shape, size, or form/SOM.

23
Q

Identity

A

What you are made up of.

24
Q

What causes energy changes?

A

Adding or removing heat. (Increasing or Decreasing)

25
Q

Can most objects melt?

A

Yes, most objects can melt.

26
Q

What is chemical about iron and what is physical?

A

Iron turning into rust is chemical, but heating iron and it turning red is a physical change. (APPEARANCE)

27
Q

What are other ways to separate mixtures?

A

Separating funnel, sifting, chromatography, and water filters.

28
Q

Why do some medicines have darker colored bottles? Ex.

A

They have darker colored bottles because some medicines can react with light. Color- property. Ex, Hydrogen Peroxide, a compound.

29
Q

What are some indicators that a chemical change has taken place?

A

Burning (odor), formation of bubbles, sizzling, cooling, production of sound and heat.

30
Q

What is the main indicator that a chemical change has taken place?

A

A new substance is formed!

31
Q

Oxidation and Examples

A

Reacts with oxygen. Ex, molding, rotting, rusting, etc.

32
Q

Two examples of chemical changes?

A

Tanning is chemical change either from the sun or a tanning bed and the statue of liberty rusting!

33
Q

Why is dissolving a physical change?

A

Due to Distillation

34
Q

Examples of chemical changes:

A

Ex, for chemical; Fireworks, iron turning into rust- Oxidation, rotten eggs, baking brownies, anti-acid= fizzing, food being broken down by enzymes in your stomach, and when hydrogen peroxide is poured on skin, it breaks down into water and oxygen gas, burning logs.

35
Q

Is weathering a chemical or physical change? Explain.

A

Weathering is a physical change for the reason that rocks break, and water freezes and expands, and streams cut through softer rocks, forming canyons, that can smooth and sculpt harder rock. The stream carries its particles down the stream until desposited. (THE PARTICLES ARE STILL UNCHANGED)

For chemical: Acidic- like sour candy! Oxidation- change in limestone. Reacts and turns into a new substance.
