Changing Matter
2
Matter can be described in terms of two kinds of properties: Physical properties Chemical properties
3
Physical Properties Anything that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. (Tends to be measurable.) Examples: Color, hardness, texture, shine and flexibility, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, density, thermal conductivity, ductility, malleability, solubility
4
Chemical Properties Are characteristics of a substance that describes its ability to change into other substances. To observe the chemical properties of a substance, you must change it to another substance. Ex. Burning, tarnishing, and rusting
5
Matter changes in two ways 1.Physical Change 2. Chemical Change
6
Physical Change Physical change is any change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but DOES NOT make the substance into another substance. Examples: Bending, crushing, breaking, cutting, and anything else that changes only the shape or form of matter.
7
Chemical Change Chemical change occurs when a change in matter produces one or more new substances. This is also called a CHEMICAL REACTION. Examples Precipitate is formed, color change, production of gas and changes in energy
8
Evidence of a Chemical Reaction
9
Changes in Energy Endothermic reaction – a reaction in which energy is absorbed. (Gets cold) Ex. Frying an egg Exothermic reaction – a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. Ex. Sugar and sulfuric acid (gets hot)
