Study Notes
Chemical Changes
- Baking a cake: Involves a chemical reaction where baking powder produces gas bubbles, resulting in a light and fluffy texture; ingredients can't be separated after baking.
- Rusting of iron: A chemical reaction between iron and moisture in the air leads to rust formation, altering the iron's state permanently.
- Digesting food: Enzymes in the stomach and intestines break down large macromolecules into simpler molecules, making nutrients easier to absorb; this is considered a chemical change.
- Souring milk: Increased acidity and denaturation of proteins occur, changing the chemical composition of milk.
- Fireworks: The explosion produces sound, heat, light, and odor, all indicative of a chemical change as new substances are created.
- Definition of chemical change: Occurs when substances combine to form new substances, changing their chemical composition.
Physical Changes
- Melting an ice cube: A physical change where energy is added to ice (H2O), transforming it into liquid water without altering its chemical identity.
- Shredding paper: A physical change that modifies the appearance of paper without changing its composition.
- Mixing sand with water: Maintains the individual properties of both sand and water; no chemical identity change occurs.
- Cutting hair: Represents a physical change where the hair's size is altered, but its chemical structure remains unchanged.
- Melting butter: While it undergoes a physical change, it can change from solid to liquid and back again, indicating an arrangement of atoms but overall identity remains the same.
- Definition of physical change: Involves alterations to a substance's appearance or state without affecting its identity or chemical composition.
