Physical and Chemical Properties Chapter 5 Section 1
2
Physical Properties Any characteristic that can be observed without changing the composition of the substance Senses can be used to describe the appearance of the substance ( ex: color, smell, texture, etc.)
3
Common Physical Properties 1. State of Matter Tells if substance is a solid, liquid or gas The substance is made of the same thing no matter what phase it is in
4
Common Physical Properties 2. Volume Tells how much space an object takes up Can be measured using a water displacement Can be calculated using length x width x height for box-shaped objects Units are milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm 3 )
5
Common Physical Properties 3. Mass The amount of matter in an object Measured using a balance Does not change with location Units are kilograms (kg)
6
Common Physical Properties Weight The amount of gravity pulling on an object Can change with location Measured with a spring scale Units are Newtons (N)
7
Are you paying attention? A 75 kg astronaut goes to the moon. What is his mass on earth? What is his mass on earth? What is his mass on the moon?
8
Common Physical Properties 5555. Density TTTTells how much matter is in a certain amount of space DDDDensity = mass/volume UUUUnits are g/cm3 or g/mL D m v
9
6666. Solubility TTTTells how many grams of a substance will dissolve in 100 grams of water TTTTemperature must be held constant when measuring solubility
10
7. Melting Point The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid Same temperature as freezing point
11
Common Physical Properties 8. Boiling Point The temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas Same temperature as condensation point
12
Common Physical Properties 9. Magnetism Some materials are naturally magnetic and attract iron Magnetite and lodestone are examples of magnetic rocks
13
Common Physical Properties 9999. Magnetism SSSSome materials are naturally magnetic and attract iron MMMMagnetite and lodestone are examples of magnetic rocks
14
Chemical Properties The substance must be changed to observe a chemical property The substance must be changed to observe a chemical property Common Chemical Properties Common Chemical Properties –1. Flammability – the ability to burn –2. reactivity – how strongly one substance reacts with another substance
