Physical vs. Chemical Properties and Change
Physical Properties • Properties that can be observed or specified without changing substance into another. • Color • Odor • Taste • Size • Density • Physical State • BP and MP
Physical Changes • Changes in which no new substance is formed • Changes of state • Melting • Boiling • Freezing • Condensation • Sublimation • Sharpening a pencil
Physical Changes (cont) • Taking a bite of food • Slicing an onion • Breaking of glass • Etc.
Evaporation • Some molecules have enough energy to escape the surface • Opposite of condensation • In equilibrium in closed system • In open system will eventually all evaporate because of diffusion in air. • Makes smells possible • No odor without evaporation • Molecules must be at least slightly soluble in water
Boiling • As temperature of liquid increases: • Vapor pressure of liquid increases • (more molecules have enough energy to escape) • So liquid evaporates faster • When vapor pressure reaches atmospheric pressure: • Liquid boils (bubbles form in the liquid and escape) • Boiling is a cooling process. How?
Boiling (cont) • Why is boiling point constant? • So you don’t cook things faster by boiling faster. • Only constant at constant atmospheric pressure. • For same reason, melting point is constant • mp doesn’t depend on pressure, why? • Why is boiling with a microwave strange?
Chemical Properties • Properties exhibited under changes in composition • They describe how a substance can change into other substances • Iron rusts • Baking soda decomposes with heat • Flammability or non-flammability • Wax burns, water doesn’t
Chemical Change • A change in which a new substance or substances are formed. • Also called a chemical reaction • Rusting of iron • Digesting food • Burning gasoline or anything • Detonating dynamite • Souring of milk
Uses of Chemical and Physical Properties • To separate substances • To identify substances • To distinguish between substances • To predict usefulness of new substances
Melting vs. Dissolving • Melting is a change of state involving heat but not a solvent. • Dissolving is a physical change also, but involves a solvent and not necessarily heat
