PROPERTIES AND CHANGES
2
What is Chemistry? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes
3
Physical and Chemical Properties A physical property is a characteristic that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance Example: solid, liquid or gas; frozen water melts at 0°C A chemical property describes what happens to a substance when it reacts to produce a new substance Example: the ability to burn or ability to bleach
4
Examples of Physical Properties PropertyDescriptionQualitative or Quantitative? Example colour odour lustre malleability ductility conductivity melting/ freezing pt boiling point density what the substance looks like qualitative red, colourless what the substance smells like qualitative odourless, sharp how shiny a substance is shiny, dull the ability of a substance to be hammered into thin sheets malleable the ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires qualitative ductile the ability of a substance to allow the flow of electricity qualitative high or low conductivity temp at which a solid becomes liquid or a liquid becomes solid quantitative0°C for water the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas quantitative 100°C for water mass per unit volume of a substance quantitative g/mL

Describe the physical properties…
6
Physical Changes When a substance changes but no new substance is formed often they can be reversed Examples: In dissolving, molecules are spreading out and can no longer be seen but no new substance has been formed
7
Change of state: the substance stays the same but looks slightly different sublimation melting evaporation condensation solidification
8
Chemical Changes When a new substance(s) is created These changes are much more difficult or even impossible to reverse Example: When baking soda is added to vinegar, carbon dioxide gas forms
9
How do you know the difference? Physical ChangeChemical Change change of state dissolved substance can change back (sometimes!) a new colour appears heat or light is given off a solid (precipitate) forms in a liquid change is generally difficult to reverse bubbles of gas form (not from heating)
