cookies Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Ive tried my best to answer please, can someone check it? Physical vs. Chemical Properties 1. Red color - Physical property 2. density - physical 3. flammability - physical 4. solubility - Chemical property 5. reacts with acid to from hydrogen - Chemical property 6. supports combustions - Chemical property 7. bitter taste - Phyiscal property 8. melting point - physical 9. reacts with water to form gas - Chemical Property 10. reacts with a base to form water - Chemical Property 11. hardness - Physical property 12. boiling point - physical property 13. can neutralize a base - chemical property Phyiscal vs chemical change 1. Sodium hydroxide dissolves in water - Chemical 2. Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce a salt, water, and heat - Chemical 3. A pellet of sodium is sliced in two - Physical 4. Water is heated and changed to steam - Physical 5. Potassium chlorate decomposes to potassium chloride and oxygen gas - Chemical 6. Iron rusts - Chemical 7. ice melts - physical 8. Acid on limestone produces carbon dioxide gas - chemical 9. milk sours - chemical 10. wood rots - physical Substances vs. Mixture 1. sodium - S 2. water - S 3. Soil - M 4. Coffee - M 5. Oxygen - S 6. Alcohol - M 7. Carbon dioxide - S 8. Cake batter - M 9. Air - M 10. Soup - M 11. Iron - S 12. Salt water - M 13. ice cream - M 14. nitrogen - S 15. eggs - M 16. blood - M 17. table salt - S 18. nail polish - M 19. milk - M 20. Cola - M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolotovCocktail Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Ok: Physical Properties vs Chemical Properties: 4 is still wrong. Solubility is a physical property because it determines how well it can mix with other substances. Physical vs Chemical Change: 1 is wrong. When a substance dissolves in a liquid, it is a physical change because it is not reacting with the liquid, just mixing in. 10 is wrong. Wood rotting is a chemical change. Substances vs Mixture: 6 is wrong. Alcohol is a substance (For example, the one we drink, Ethanol, is C2-H5-OH.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 3, Flammability. I think I would put as Chemical rather than Physical. Combustion cannot occur without a Chemical change/reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abskebabs Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hiya! Hmm... really these are all "physical" properties, but from the perspective of chemistry, I agree with the other posters' comments. I make one addition, that I would have said 7. bitter taste is a chemical property. I don't think the mechanism behind taste, or certainly smell is that well understood though, so it's a little bit open. My gut reaction would be to go with chemical, as there is no phase or "state" where things are bitter but certain substances will have a taste due to their elemenatary composition.
