Physical and Chemical Properties UNIT 1: Materials – Formulating Matter
Have you heard of Aerogel!? • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHnen2nSmDY
Physical Properties • Used to describe substances without altering the chemical makeup of the material. • Examples: Color, density, odor, melting & boiling points, viscosity, malleability, conductivity, etc.
Physical Properties Example: Physical Properties of post-1982 and pre-1982 pennies.
Chemical Properties • Describes how or if a substance reacts with other substances • Often determine a substances usefulness
Some of the chemical properties you tested during lab included: -reaction to oxygen -reaction to acids & bases -reaction to copper
Physical Change • Material remains the same • Form, or state of matter (gas, liquid, solid) may have appeared to change • Change may be reversible
Chemical Change • Chemical bonds are made and/or broken to make a new substance with a different chemical makeup (formula), and different physical/chemical properties. • Change is permanent and not reversible • Evidence (observations) for chemical change: • Combine with oxygen, get a permanent color change like browning of an apple or rust • Detect by formation of a new liquid or gas, temperature change

A.4 Designing the penny Read A.4 and discuss why the composition of the penny has changed over time. What are important chemical and physical properties of the current penny?
On a separate piece of paper, complete the following questions: Make sure to explain your reasoning, or show mathematically how you arrived at your conclusion. • The density of pre-1982 pennies is 8.8 g/cm3. The density of pure copper is 8.94 g/cm3. The density of pure zinc is 7.14 g/cm3. Based on this information, what do you think was the relative composition of pre-1983 pennies? (For instance, do you think pennies are composed of equal amounts of coper and zinc?) • The density of pennies today is 7.2g/cm3. How do you think the composition of pennies has changed compared to pre-1982 pennies?
