MatterSection Physical Properties 〉 Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance.
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued Physical properties can help identify substances.
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued Physical properties can be observed or measured.
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued –Examples: shape, color, odor, texture, state, melting point, boiling point, strength, hardness, magnetism, the ability to conduct electricity or heat
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued –melting point: the temperature and pressure at which a solid becomes a liquid
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued –boiling point: the temperature and pressure at which a liquid becomes a gas
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued Physical properties help determine uses.
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued Density is a physical property.
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued –density: the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued –common unit of density is g/cm 3
MatterSection Physical Properties, continued Density is different from weight.
MatterSection Math Skills Density If 10.0 cm 3 of ice has a mass of 9.17 g, what is the density of ice?
MatterSection Math Skills 1. List the given and unknown values. Given: mass, m = 9.17 g volume, V = 10.0 cm 3 Unknown: density, D = ? g/cm 3
MatterSection Math Skills, continued 2. Write the equation for density. density = mass/volume, or D = m/V
MatterSection Math Skills, continued 3. Insert the known values into the equation, and solve.
MatterSection 2 Chemical Properties 〉 Why are flammability and reactivity classified as chemical properties?
MatterSection Chemical Properties A chemical property describes how a substance changes into a new substance, either by combining with other elements or by breaking apart into new substances.
MatterSection Chemical Properties, continued Flammability is a chemical property. –flammability: the ability to burn
MatterSection Chemical Properties, continued Reactivity is a chemical property.
MatterSection Chemical Properties, continued –reactivity: the capacity of a substance to combine chemically with another substance
MatterSection Chemical Properties, continued Physical and chemical properties are different.
MatterSection Chemical Properties, continued Physical properties can be observed without changing the identity of a substance.
MatterSection Chemical Properties, continued Chemical properties can be observed only in situations in which the identity of the substance changes.
