Matter II. Properties & Changes in Matter
B. Physical vs. Chemical • Physical Property • Inherent characteristics that can be observed without altering the identity (composition) of the substance • Chemical Property • describes the ability of a substance to undergo changes in identity by either reacting with something else of decomposition.
Physical Properties • Extensive Property • depends on the amount of matter present • Mass, length, volume • Intensive Property • depends on the identity of substance, not the amount • Density (g/ml), color, melting and boiling points
A. Extensive vs. Intensive • Examples: • boiling point • volume • mass • density • conductivity
B. Physical vs. Chemical • Examples: • melting point • flammable • density • magnetic • tarnishes in air
B. Physical vs. Chemical • Physical Change • changes the form of a substance without changing its identity • Size, shape, phase • properties remain the same • Chemical Change • changes the identity of a substance • products have different properties
B. Physical vs. Chemical • Signs of a Chemical Change • change in color or odor • formation of a gas • formation of a precipitate (solid) • change in light or heat
Law of Conservation of Mass • In a chemical change, there is no change in the total mass of the substances involved. • Mass of Reactants = Mass of Products Mercury(II)Oxide Mercury + Oxygen
B. Physical vs. Chemical • Examples: • rusting iron • dissolving in water • burning a log • melting ice • grinding spices
