...the substance of which all physical objects consist. Typically, matter includes atoms and other particles which have mass, Mass and matter are often confused. Matter is anything that takes up space, for example a brick, a pencil, a lacrosse stick, and even you are made up of matter. Matter is anything that has mass; it is also anything that is made up of atoms and molecules. There are five main states of matter that scientists know of; there are solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein’s. Physical Properties Physical properties are things that are observed without changing the identity of the substance. You can think of changes in shape changes, in color, and in size. One example of physical change is if you have something that is a certain color and you change it, it doesn’t change the identity of the substance. Another property is in size. This is a physical property because if you change how big or small an object is you will still have the same substance just smaller. Finally the change in shape is a physical property because you still have the same identities of the object it just looks different. Chemical Properties Chemical properties of matter can only be observed and measured by preforming a chemical change or chemical reaction. You only can tell what a chemical property is by changing a substance's chemical identity. Chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance you have to cause a chemical reaction between the two...

...Lab Report for Experiment #4 Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes Student's Name __________ __________ Date of Experiment ___ _________ Date Report Submitted _________________ Title: (copy from lab, 1 point) Purpose: (copy from lab, 1 point) Changes to the Procedure by Instructors: 1. Do not test the odor of the samples. 2. In this lab the test tubes can get very dirty and cleaning is difficult. Your test tube may break, but don’t worry about it you will not need them again this term. Dispose carefully in the trash. Have you made any changes to the procedure? Please explain: Fill out the data sheet (page 3) for the experiment and answer the questions. Note: read the lab introduction for clarification on the difference between physical and chemical changes. Remember that a physical change often occurs during a chemical change, but a chemical change does not always happen when a physical change occurs. If you still have questions ask your instructor. From experiment # 1 we learned that a chemical change results in a color change, the formation of bubbles, the formation of a precipitate, or a change of temperature. Keep that in mind when you are deciding whether a physical or chemical change has occurred. Data Table (8 points) Read carefully before you begin your experiment! Be complete when writing your observations. One word observations are not usually complete. If there is a color change, include the color before and after. For...

...PHYSICAL CHANGE Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but cannot usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds.[1] Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances. In general a physical change is reversible using physical means. For example salt dissolved in water can be recovered by allowing the water to evaporate. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Examples of physical properties include melting, transition to a gas, change of strength, change of durability, changes to crystal form, textural change, shape, size, colour, volume and density. An example of a physical change is the process of tempering steel to form a knife blade. A steel blank is repeatedly heated and hammered which changes the hardness of the steel, its flexibility and its ability to maintain a sharp edge. Methods Heating and cooling Many elements and some compounds change from solids to liquids and from liquids to gases when heated and the reverse when cooled. Some substances such as iodine and carbon dioxide go directly from solid to gas in a process called sublimation...

...fire and burned which caused physical and chemical reactions and changes. Let’s talk about some of the physical and chemical properties. Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the matter. The beaver’s log had the following physical properties. It was shaped like a cylinder with pointed ends, brown and rough. The beaver ate the bark and the soft tissue in order to receive nourishment. Chemical properties of matter describe its “potential” to undergo some chemical change or reaction by virtue of its composition. As the beaver log burns, it goes through three phases. The first phase is the evaporation of water. As the wood is heated moisture evaporates quickly consuming heat energy in the process. The second phase is the emission of smoke. As the wood heats up, it starts to smoke. The smoke is the visible result of the destruction of the solid wood as it vaporizes into a cloud of combustible gases. The smoke will burn if the temperature is high enough and oxygen is present. The third and final phase is the charcoal phase. As the fire grows and most of the gasses have vaporized out of the wood, charcoal remains. All three phases of wood burning occur at the same time. The wood gases can be flaming and the edges of the pieces can be glowing red as charcoal burns, while moisture in the core of the wood is evaporating. The wood went through both a physical and chemical change. A chemical change can produce heat, light and...

...How does a physical or chemical change affect the mass of a substance within a closed system? Our hypothesis to this question was, if a chemical change affects the mass, then the mass will change. Our second hypothesis was, if a physical change occurs, then the mass would stay the same. Changes in matter happen all around us everyday. When we use a coloured pencil, they change in the size of how hard you are pushing on the coloured pencil which dulls it out. When you chew food it, changes its size so we as humans can swallow. Matter is anything that has mass and volume, that can go through chemical and physical changes. When physical change happens, no new substance is created because the molecules of the substance remain the same. As for when...

...which the substances in it are distinguishable from each other, either with the unaided eye or a microscope. A solution looks like a pure substance but it contains more than one type of particle. Alloys are when two or more metals are mixed together. A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be determined without changing the composition of that substance. A qualitative physical property is not measured and includes hardness, malleability and electrical conductivity. Quantitative physical properties are measured and include temperature, height and mass. A physical change is a change is which the composition of the substance remains unaltered and no new substances are produced Examples of physical change are a change of size or shape, a change of state, and dissolving. A chemical property is a property of a substance that describes its ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one or more new substances. A chemical; change is a change is the starting substance or substances and the production of one or more new substances. Evidence of chemical change includes; color change, odor change, gas production, precipitate production, energy change. A characteristic physical property is a physical property that is unique to a pure substance and that can be used to identify the substance. Density is a measure of how much mass...

...Ralloma Jennifer Caraway CHEM 1405-034 April 9, 2014 Balancing and Classifying Synthesized Chemical Reactions Abstract During the experimentation, physical and chemical properties of unaltered elements/compounds were noted. The alteration of these physical and chemical properties, were understood to have defined chemical change. The experimental procedures were divided into five phases: Magnesium and Oxygen, Zinc and Copper(II) Sulfate, Metals and HCl, Reactions of Ionic Compounds, and the Sodium Carbonate and HCl. Different Reactions were noted for each respective phase. When necessary, a numerical coefficient would be added before the name of the formula on either the reactant's or product's side to achieve a balanced chemical equation. Introduction Explosion of fireworks, pharmaceutical drugs(medicine), and fuel, what do they have in common? A chemical reaction! Most of these chemical reactions naturally occur without us having the slightest idea on that they exist. The focus of this experiment is to differentiate and classify different types of chemical reactions, and be aware of the significance and importance of these chemical reactions in our lives. One of the primary methods to classifying a synthesized chemical reaction is determining if it came from a : Combination, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, Decomposition, or a Combustion Reaction. Physical and Chemical Properties of the unaltered substances were noted and recorded as it was believed to have influenced...
