Study Notes
Physical Changes
- Physical properties of a substance include its shape, size, colour and state.
- Changes where substances undergo changes in their physical properties are called physical changes.
- Physical changes are generally reversible; the original substance can be retrieved.
- No new substance is formed in a physical change.
Chemical Changes
- A chemical change results in the formation of a new substance with different properties.
- Chemical changes are generally irreversible; it is difficult to get back the original substance.
- Rusting of iron is a common example of chemical change.
- Rust is iron oxide, which is formed when iron reacts with oxygen and water.
- Burning, explosion, spoiling of food, neutralization of acid with a base, and the breakdown of ozone are all examples of chemical changes.
Rusting of Iron
- Rusting is a chemical change that affects iron articles and slowly destroys them.
- The process of rusting can be represented by the following equation: Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O2) + water (H2O) → rust (iron oxide Fe2O3)
- Rusting requires the presence of both oxygen and water (or water vapour).
- The higher the moisture content in the air, the faster the rusting process.
Preventing Rusting
- Rusting can be prevented by preventing iron articles from coming in contact with oxygen or water, or both.
- Applying a coat of paint or grease can prevent rusting. These coats should be applied regularly.
- Depositing a layer of a metal like chromium or zinc on iron, a process called galvanization, also prevents rusting.
- Stainless steel, which is made by mixing iron with carbon and metals like chromium, nickel, and manganese, does not rust.
Crystallisation
- Pure substances can be formed from their solutions through a process called crystallisation.
- Crystallisation involves allowing a solution to cool slowly, causing the dissolved substance to crystallize out of the solution.
- It is an example of a physical change.
- Large crystals of pure substances can be formed through crystallisation.
Chemical vs. Physical Changes
- It is important to be able to differentiate between physical and chemical changes.
- Burning of wood is a chemical change, while cutting wood into small pieces is a physical change.
- The formation of crystals from a solution is a physical change.
- Rusting of iron is a chemical change.
- Painting an iron gate prevents rusting by creating a barrier between the iron and oxygen and water.
- Rusting is faster in coastal areas than in deserts because of the higher moisture content in the air.
- The change of LPG from liquid to gas is a physical change, while the burning of the gas is a chemical change.
- Anaerobic bacteria digesting waste and producing biogas is a chemical change, while burning the biogas is another chemical change.
