Physical Changes
2
Did you know? Matter is changing around you all the time. Some changes are physical and some are chemical
3
Do you remember what Physical Properties are???
Color Shape Mass Volume State of Matter Length Magnetism Texture Density
4
After a PHYSICAL CHANGE, the appearance of the substance may be different but it is still the same substance A physical change does not produce a new substance – molecules are the same
5
Physical property: States of Matter
What does this mean? Only one substance goes into the reaction and one substance comes out. Water Water Physical property: States of Matter
6
Cutting a Steak Steak Steak
7
What physical property changed?
State of matter Size, shape, mass, volume Is it still the same substance? This is a physical change because before and after being cut the substance is still steak even if the size, shape, and other physical properties changed. It changed from one bigger piece into smaller pieces but no new substance was produced.
8
Bending Metal Wires Metal wires Metal wires
9
What physical property changed?
Shape Why is this a physical change? Bending metal wires is a physical change because a physical change means that no new substance is produced. Although the wires look different they are still the same substance, metal. It just changed shape from flat to bent.
10
Ice Cream Melting Ice cream Ice cream
11
What physical property changed?
State of matter Solid Liquid Is it still the same substance? This is a physical change because in a physical change the substance stays the same even if it looks different. The only thing that changed about the ice cream is its state of matter (solid to a liquid) but it is still ice cream after it melts.
12
Exit Ticket A pencil being sharpened
Evidence: What physical property changed? Reasoning: Why is this a physical change? 2) Water condensing on your winshield
13
Breaking glass Glass Glass What physical property changed?
Shape, volume, texture, mass, etc. Is it still the same substance? Yes! Still glass Why? It just changed from one piece to a bunch of smaller pieces
14
Chemical Properties and Changes
15
Chemical Properties
16
Chemical Properties Describes matter based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties
17
Chemical Properties These properties can only be observed during a chemical reaction A chemical change has to take place in order to observe them!!!
18
Chemical Properties Flammability Does it burn?
How likely is it to burn?
19
Flammability Can you think of any substances that are very flammable?
Gasoline Paper Wood
20
Flammability Can you think of any substances that are not flammable?
Water
21
Examples of Chemical Properties
What is a reaction? What are some examples of types of reactions? Reactivity
22
Examples of Reactivity
Reacts with oxygen What happens when this substance reacts with oxygen?
23
Reacting with oxygen Rust!
When exposed to oxygen for long periods of time, metal will react with the oxygen to form RUST
24
Examples of Reactivity
Reacts with water What happens to the substance when it interacts with water?
25
Examples of Reactivity
Alka Seltzer and water
26
Example #1 You light a candle. Flammability or Reactivity?
How do you know? It describes the substance’s ability to burn. A candle can burn easily, therefore it is flammable.
27
Example #2 Vinegar will react with baking soda.
Flammability or Reactivity? Reactivity How do you know? Vinegar is reacting with baking soda and carbon dioxide is produced. This describes the interaction between two substances.
28
Example #3 Yeast acts on sugar to form carbon dioxide and ethanol
Flammability or Reactivity? Reactivity How do you know? Yeast is reacting with sugar and forms two new substances, carbon dioxide and ethanol.
30
Example When charcoal burns in a BBQ grill
Reaction between Carbon and Oxygen Provides heat that cooks the dinner and gives off CO2
31
Chemical Changes
32
A new substance is formed!
After a CHEMICAL CHANGE, a NEW substance is produced with NEW properties. These properties are different from the original substance! A new substance is formed!
33
Signs that a Chemical Change took place
Production of a gas Often appearing as bubbles If it involves FIRE it involves gas (carbon dioxide in the smoke)
34
Signs that a Chemical Change took place
Change in temperature Such as the production or loss of heat
35
Endothermic reaction A chemical reaction resulting in the loss of heat
36
Endothermic reaction Example: Ammonium nitrate and water in ice packs
37
Exothermic reaction Exothermic reaction: A chemical reaction resulting in the production of heat
38
Exothermic reaction Example
Example: Hand warmers Iron reacts with oxygen to produce heat Iron & Oxygen heat
39
Signs that a Chemical Change took place
New color A chemical reaction results in a color change Metal and oxygen react to form RUST Color changes from silver to brownish red
40
Signs that a Chemical Change took place
Formation of a precipitate An insoluble solid that forms out of a water solution It forms because the solid does not dissolve in water
41
Example #1: Burning wood
42
Example #1: Burning wood
What chemical property is present? Flamability What is the evidence of a chemical change? Production of a gas (SMOKE) Change in temperature Is it still the same substance? No! Ashes
43
Example #3: Digestion of Pizza
44
Example #3: Digestion of Pizza
What chemical property is present? Reactivity What is the evidence of a chemical change? New substances with new properties Food is broken down by acid Is it still the same substance? No! Food is broken down into other substances (basic molecule types)
45
Example #2: Rusting of Metal
46
Example #2: Rusting of Metal
What chemical property is present? Reactivity What is the evidence of a chemical change? Change in color Silver to reddish brown Is it still the same substance? No! Different properties
47
Physical or Chemical??? Use the A-F cards to separate the Physical Changes from the Chemical Changes! D. Rubbing alcohol evaporates from your hand E. Hydrogen peroxide bubbles when you put it on a cut on your leg F. Your friend melts some butter for her popcorn A. You cut a sheet of aluminum foil in half B. You leave the milk on the counter all night and discover it has soured in the morning C. Your Mom lights a candle in a dark room
