5.4 Physical and Chemical Changes
Learning Goals: Explain a physical change Explain a chemical change Recognize the evidence for each type of change
2
Discussion: What’s New?
Physical or chemical change? What is true about the kinds of matter present before and after a physical change? How is matter different? What substances were formed when the paper burned? What is true about the types of matter present before and after the matter undergoes a chemical change Would it be possible to change these types of matter back into a sheet of paper?

Physical Changes Change of Appearance
A physical change is a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance. The appearance, shape, or size of a substance may be altered during a physical change. Physical changes, such as changes in state, do not change the chemical identity of a substance.

Chemical Changes Change of Appearance
A chemical change is the process when one or more substances change into entirely new substances with different properties. A substance’s identity changes because the chemical makeup changes. Bonds get rearranged and/or new bonds form. Influenced by temperature: At higher temperatures, chemical reactions happen more quickly

Look for the Signs How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
There are five key signs that a chemical reaction has occurred. Observing two or more of these signs during a change means you are likely observing a chemical change.

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
Energy that changes from one form to another can be evidence of a chemical change. -Energy can appear as a spike or drop in temperature - Energy can appear in the visible form of light.

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
Colour changes When a substance changes to a new colour, a chemical change has likely occurred
10
How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
Odours can be produced during a chemical change.
11
How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
The production of gas is often evidence of a chemical change. Fizzing and foaming may mean gases are being produced. Careful! Boiling also can produce gas bubbles, but boiling is a physical change.
12
How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
A precipitate is a solid formed from two clear liquids being mixed together. The formation of a precipitate can indicate a chemical change.
