Study Notes
Reversible Changes
- The first group of changes, involving heat or fire, is easily reversible.
Distillation of Mercurial Water
- When mercurial water is distilled, it becomes water again, according to the author's teacher.
Transformations Involving Heat or Fire
- Transformations involving heat or fire are easily reversible, says the author.
- These changes are the first group of changes.
Rusting of Iron
- A sheet of iron left outside without wax covering will rust.
Irreversible Changes
- The changes that are difficult to reverse are called the second group of changes, according to the author.
First Group of Changes
- The substance in the first group of changes returns to its original state when the heat or fire is removed, says the author.
Distilled Mercurial Water
- The substance formed by distilled mercurial water is water again, according to the author's teacher.
