Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes Mrs. Storer Chemistry
2
Physical versus Chemical Properties
3
MATTER Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space Mass – the amount of matter in something Volume – the amount of space something occupies Which of the following is matter? A car? A box? You?
4
What is a property? Property: a characteristic of a substance that can be observed.
5
Physical Property Physical property: a property that can be observed without chemically changing the matter. These are usually physical descriptions of the material, but they can also include some behaviors.
6
Physical properties can be used to separate mixtures!
7
Examples: ColorShape Size (volume)Texture Melting pointBoiling point MassWeight LusterSpecific heat SolubilityElasticity PhaseDensity (more on this later) Physical Properties
8
Examples: Malleability: the ability to be hammered into a thin sheet Ductility: the ability to be stretched into a wire Magnetic = attraction of a magnet to iron Viscosity: the resistance of a fluid to flow Buoyancy: ability of a substance to float Physical Properties Behaviors
9
Extensive vs Intensive Properties Physical properties can be described as: Extensive – dependent on the amount of the substance Examples: mass, length, volume Intensive – independent on the amount Examples: density, scent Demo: float two pieces of wood of different lengths
10
Special Physical Properties Melting point: the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid at a given pressure water = 0 o C Boiling point: the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas at a given pressure water = 100 o C
11
Chemical Properties Chemical property: describes how a substance interacts with other substances. Examples: FlammabiltyAbility to rust ReactivityCombustability AcidityBasicity
12
FLAMMABILITY: A material’s ability to BURN in the presence of OXYGEN
13
REACTIVITY: How readily (easily) a substance combines chemically with other substances.
14
Which has higher reactivity? A 14 karat gold ring or a cheap metal ring from the vending machine at the grocery store? What is your evidence?
15
Physical and Chemical Change Matter can change in two different ways 1. Physical Change 2. Chemical Change
16
(1) Physical Change Physical changes are those changes that do not result in the production of a new substance. If you melt a block of ice, you still have H 2 O at the end of the change.
17
Signs of physical change include: Changing the shape or size Dissolving State change (1) Physical Change
18
Phases of Matter PhaseShapeVolume SolidsDefinite shapeDefinite volume Particles packed together LiquidsIndefinite shapeDefinite volume Particles have room to move around GasesIndefinite shapeIndefinite volume Particles far apart
19
melting freezing condensing breaking crushing cutting bending Common examples of physical changes are:
20
Some, but not all physical changes can be reversed. You could refreeze the water into ice, but you cannot put your hair back together if you don’t like your haircut!
21
Chemical changes, or chemical reactions, are changes that result in the production of one or more new substances. (2) Chemical Change
22
Chemical Change Signs of a chemical change include: gas bubbles color change - leaves turning colors in the fall, rust appearing disappearance of color – fading fabric heat or light
23
When you burn a log in a fireplace, you are carrying out a chemical reaction that releases carbon. When you light your Bunsen burner in lab, you are carrying out a chemical reaction that produces water and carbon dioxide.
24
Common examples of chemical changes: digestionrespiration photosynthesisburning decomposition tarnishing rusting
25
6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Light Light Energy CO 2 + H 2 O Chloroplast Sugars + O 2
26
Chemical Change: Cleaning tarnished silver Tarnish is silver sulfides that form from sulfur compounds in the air
27
Only sure proof that a new substance is produced is a rapid release of energy – heat, light, and sound
28
WEATHERING – CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL CHANGE? = BOTH Forces of nature reshape Earth ’ s surface
29
Physical: Large rocks split when water freezes Doesn’t change the rock
30
Streams cut through softer rock Canyons
31
Chemical: Solid Calcium Carbonate, found in limestone, doesn’t dissolve easily React with acid (rain) Changes to a new substance (Calcium Hydrogen Carbonate) This does dissolve with water White Cliffs of Dover
32
Caves = stalactites and stalagmites
33
Law of Conservation of Mass Amongst all of this change, remember that Mass cannot be created nor destroyed.
34
Let’s practice Number your paper from 1- 15 and write if it is a physical or chemical change
