Study Notes

Physical Change

  • Crushing a can alters its shape but not its composition, demonstrating a physical change.
  • Melting ice results in water, a reversible change that retains the chemical properties of H2O.
  • Breaking glass modifies its shape without affecting the chemical structure, categorizing it as a physical change.

Chemical Change

  • Burning wood produces ash and gases, a process that cannot revert to the original wood, marking it as a chemical change.
  • Rusting iron forms iron oxide, a new substance that cannot be converted back to iron, signifying a chemical change.
  • Cooking an egg transforms its proteins, creating a permanent change where the original egg cannot be restored.

Multiple Part Change

  • Burning a candle exemplifies both physical and chemical changes: melting wax is physical, while the combustion of the wick is chemical.
