Chemistry Chemical/Physical Properties & Changes
2
What is Matter? Think and Discuss Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space Mass – the amount of matter in something Volume – the amount of space something occupies
3
What is Matter? Matter is any substance that has both mass and volume. Almost everything around us is matter including air and other gases.
4
What is a property? Property: a characteristic of a substance that can be observed
5
Types of Properties 1.Chemical Properties 2.Physical Properties Quantitative vs. Qualitative Properties
6
Properties Chemical Property – Describes the ability of a substance to form one or more different substances (ability to participate in chemical reactions) –The substance is combustible (will burn) –The substance is flammable or reactive Physical Property-The characteristics of a substance that does not involve a chemical change. –Height, weight, colour, etc. –Includes qualitative and quantitative properties
7
Types of Properties Qualitative properties are descriptive properties. –Example- The car is red. Quantatitive properties involve measurements
8
Physical Properties continued….. luster malleability: the ability to be hammered into a thin sheet ductility: the ability to be stretched into a wire melting point boiling point density solubility specific heat
9
Definition of Change Change: the act of altering a substance
10
Physical change : a change that occurs that does not change the identity of the substance –Melting ice( change in state or phase) –Freezing Kool-aid –Tearing paper –Boiling water
11
Chemical change: a change that occurs causing the identity of the substance to change –Burning –Digesting food –Reacting with other substances A chemical change is called a chemical reaction
12
Chemical Change Clues 1.A color change occurs. 2. An odor is produced 3. Formation of bubbles 4.Heat is absorbed or given off. 5.Formation of a precipitate (solid) Keep in mind these are only clues that a chemical change may have taken place. Proof still depends on a new substance being formed with new properties.
13
Is it a Physical or Chemical Change? The following video will help explain the differences between Physical and Chemical Changes.
