Properties of Matter Flashcards
Physical Properties & Examples
observations of a substance without changing it into another substance;
boiling point, density, mass, volume
Chemical Properties & Examples
observations only when a substance is changed into another substance; flammability, corrosiveness, reactivity with acid
Are extensive and intensive properties physical or chemical properties?
physical properties
Extensive properties & Examples
properties that depend on the amount of matter in a sample; mass, length, volume, energy
Intensive properties & Examples
properties that don’t change regardless of if the amount of matter changes; density, color, temperature
A substance changes its physical appearance, not its composition. It’s the same substance before and after.
physical change
A substance becomes a chemically different substance
chemical change/chemical reaction
Examples of physical/chemical changes
changes of state, temperature, volume; combustion, oxidation, decomposition
Converting between the three states of matter is a chemical change. True or False?
False
Example of chemical reaction
hydrogen & oxygen become water
Filtration, distillation, & chromatography serve what purpose?
separate mixtures
Filtration
solids are separated from liquids & solutions
Distillation
separate homogeneous mixtures based on the differences in boiling points
Chromatography
separates substances based on the ability to stick to a solid surface
