Study Notes
- Properties describe a substance's characteristics.
- Dissolving is when a substance mixes evenly into another to form a solution.
- Separating mixtures involves extracting individual components from a mixture.
- Physical changes alter a substance's appearance without changing its chemical composition.
- Chemical changes create a new substance with different properties.
Properties
- Characteristics of a substance.
Physical Properties

- The color of a rock exemplifies a physical property.
Chemical Properties
- How a substance reacts with other substances, such as flammability or reactivity.
- The ability of iron to rust represents a chemical property.
Dissolving
- A solid (solute) mixes evenly into a liquid (solvent) to form a solution.
- Adding sugar to water provides an example.
- Adding salt to water to create a saltwater solution.
Separating Mixtures
- Techniques like filtration, evaporation, distillation, or magnetism isolate individual components from a mixture.
- Filtering sand from water gives an example.
- Filtering sand from a mixture of sand and water.
Physical Changes
- Changes in state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas) or appearance occur without changing the chemical composition.
- Ice melting and tearing paper are examples.
- Water freezing into ice.
Chemical Changes
- A new substance with different properties forms through a chemical reaction.
- Burning wood and baking a cake are examples

Dissolving vs. Separating Mixtures
- Dissolving involves mixing substances to form a solution.
- Separating mixtures aims to isolate individual components from a mixture.
Physical Change vs. Chemical Change
- A physical change only alters the appearance of a substance.
- A chemical change creates a new substance with different properties.
