Flashcards

What is a Chemical Property?

A chemical property describes a substance's ability to change its composition and form one or more new substances.

What is a Chemical Change?

A chemical change occurs when the starting material(s) change to form one or more new substances.

How do we know a Chemical Change happened?

Evidence of a chemical change includes color change, odor change, gas production, precipitate production, and energy change.

What is a Physical Change?

A physical change is a change in the form or appearance of a substance, but not its chemical composition. The substance remains the same.

Why is water freezing not a chemical change?

Water freezing is a physical change because it only changes its state from liquid to solid. The chemical composition of water (H2O) remains the same.

Classify the following as physical or chemical properties: Metallic lustre, Boiling point, Explodes when ignited, Changes colour when mixed with water

Metallic lustre is a physical property because it describes the shiny appearance of a substance. Boiling point is a physical property because it describes the temperature at which a substance changes state. Exploding when ignited is a chemical property because it describes the ability to change into new substances and release energy. Changes colour when mixed with water is a chemical property because it describes the ability to form a new substance with a different colour.

Classify the following as physical or chemical change: Water boils, Wood is sawed, Firewood burns, Orange drink crystals dissolve, Sugar, eggs, and flour are mixed and baked

Water boiling is a physical change because it changes state from liquid to gas but the chemical composition of water remains the same. Wood being sawed is a physical change because it only changes shape, not its chemical composition. Firewood burning is a chemical change because it produces new substances (ash, smoke) and releases energy. Orange drink crystals dissolving in water is a physical change because the crystals just disperse in the water. Mixing and baking cookies is a chemical change because the heat causes new substances to form, with different properties than the original ingredients.

What evidence shows that a glowstick undergoes a chemical change?

The glowstick emits light as a result of a chemical reaction. This indicates a chemical change, as the chemicals within the glowstick are reacting to produce light.

How does color change suggest a chemical change?

A change in color indicates a new substance is produced. For example, when leaves change color in autumn, a chemical change occurs.

What does a change in odor indicate?

A change in odor means a new substance with a different smell is created. For example, rotting food produces a distinct odor.

What does bubble formation suggest about a chemical change?

Bubbles forming during a reaction indicate a new substance in gas form is produced. This is not due to heating.

What is a precipitate and what does it signify?

A new solid forming in a mixture that doesn't dissolve is called a precipitate. This indicates a new substance is formed.

How does a change in temperature indicate a chemical change?

Energy released or absorbed during a reaction, such as a change in temperature, hints at a chemical change.

Are chemical changes reversible? How does this differ from physical changes?

Chemical changes are usually not easily reversed. While ice melting is a temporary change, burning wood produces ash and cannot be easily turned back into wood.

What is the difference between rotting and composting?

Rotting is a natural process of decomposition involving chemical changes. Composting is a controlled method of rotting.
