What happens when baking soda and vinegar are mixed?

When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid) are mixed, they react chemically to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles. This is a chemical reaction because new substances are formed. The bubbles are carbon dioxide gas, which is different from the original ingredients.

Explain the chemical change in 'Elephant Toothpaste'.

Elephant toothpaste involves the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2). This is a chemical change because new substances are formed (water and oxygen gas), and a lot of energy is released, causing the foam to erupt. This is a non-reversible reaction.

What change is occurring when dry ice is created?

When carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is cooled to very low temperatures, it changes state from a gas into a solid, forming dry ice. This is a physical change, as the substance remains carbon dioxide but changes its state of matter. This is a reversible process.

What type of change is happening when a candle burns?

A burning candle is a chemical change. The wax (hydrocarbon) reacts with oxygen in the air, transforming into carbon dioxide and water vapor. New substances are formed, and energy is released as light and heat. The change is irreversible, meaning the original wax cannot be recovered.

How could you prove that candle burning is a chemical change?

You can prove the burning of a candle is a chemical change by observing the production of new substances like carbon dioxide (CO2), which can be tested with limewater, and water vapor, which can be seen condensing on a cold surface. The original wax is also gone, confirming the irreversible nature of the change.

What happens when a Bunsen burner is lit?

When a Bunsen burner is lit, the fuel gas (usually methane) reacts with oxygen in the air in a combustion reaction, producing water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). This is a chemical change, as new substances are formed, and energy is released in the form of heat and light. This change is non-reversible.

What kind of change occurs when copper carbonate is heated?

Heating copper carbonate is a chemical change. The copper carbonate decomposes into copper oxide (a black powder) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2). As the carbon dioxide escapes, the mass of the substance decreases. This is a chemical change because new substances are formed, and it cannot be reversed easily.

What happens when copper sulphate pentahydrate is heated?

Heating copper sulphate pentahydrate (a bluish-green crystalline solid) is a chemical change. It undergoes dehydration, releasing water molecules into the air, transforming into a dark green substance (anhydrous copper sulfate). The loss of water causes a decrease in mass. This change is non-reversible.

Atoms, Elements, Molecules, and Compounds

  • Examples of atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds given.
  • Compounds, molecules differ as bonding type can categorize as a molecule or a compound

Physical and Chemical Changes
