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.
