| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a chemcial change? | when one or more substances chemically combine and turn into a new substance with totally different physical properties. |
| What are physical properties? | characteristics or traits that can be seen, felt, heard, tasted, smelled or measured from the outside. |
| Examples of physical properties: | *color *volume *size/shape *melting point *luster (shiny or dull) *magnetism *texture (fluffy&rough etc) *density |
| Evidences can also mean....? | proof or signs of |
| Evidences (proof or signs of) a chemical change are.... | *Production of a gas *Production of a precipitate *UNEXPECTED change of temperature (thermal energy) *UNEXPECTED color change |
| What happens when a gas is produced? | There might be the following observed: *smell/odor ...usually bad but could be good like in baking cakes *sound *bubbles |
| How is a precipitate formed? | when 2 liquids chemical bond to form a solid |
| What is a change in thermal energy? | When the temperature increases (goes up) or decreases (goes down) UNEXPECTEDLY Ex: You do not expect your body temperature to be 106. (if it is your sick ...chem. change in body) |
| Example of UNEXPECTED color change | *sugar turning brown when heated in a pan *a banana turning from yellow to brown/black *bread turning green |
| Painting the wall or adding food coloring to water is NOT | an example of UNEXPECTED color change |
| Examples of Everyday Chemical Changes | *rotting (decomposition) *baking *combustion (burning/heat) *cleaning (ex. teeth whitening - *rust silver polish) *digestion (eating food) *photosynthesis |
| Is roasting a marshmellow a chemcial change? | yes, the evidience is that the color changes and a new substance of "ash" forms on the outside. |
| Is cutting paper a chemical change? | No, this only changes the outside apprearance...a new substance is not formed. |
| An example of an UNEXPECTED decrease (goes down) in temperature... | when baking soda and vinegar are chemically combined |
| When copper reacts to oxygen it turns green and when silver reacts to oxygen it turns black....these are BOTH chemical changes because | a color changehappens BUT they are different because the NEW green substance on the copper is different from the NEW black substance on the silver |
| This is just a NOTE: | on the short answer pay more attention to the 2 tables and for any changes in temperature, or state of matter than the picture |
