Physical and Chemical Changes in Matter
Learn to distinguish between physical and chemical changes in matter based on properties and behaviors. Explore examples and classifications of changes to understand the effects on substances.

Presentation Transcript
Do Now #7 • A physical change occurs when a substance changes form, but stays the same. • A chemical change occurs when a substance changes into a new, different substance. • 1. In which Station Activities did you observe physical changes? • 2. In which Station Activities did you observe chemical changes?
Physical vs. Chemical • Physical Property • characteristics observed without changing the identity of the substance • Characteristics such as color, density, odor • Chemical Property • describes the ability of a substance to undergo changes in identity
Physical vs. Chemical • Lets think about the penny. What is the penny made out of? • Please tell me you didn’t say just copper! • Lets take a look at what the penny has done over the years. • Composition? • Why would the penny change (think of physical properties, as well as chemical properties?
B. Physical vs. Chemical physical chemical physical physical chemical • Examples: • melting point • flammable • density • magnetic • tarnishes in air
Classify Each of the following as Physical or Chemical Properties • The boiling point of ethyl alcohol is 78°C. • Physical property – describes inherent characteristic of alcohol – boiling point • Diamond is very hard. • Physical property – describes inherent characteristic of diamond – hardness • Sugar ferments to form ethyl alcohol. • Chemical property – describes behavior of sugar – forming a new substance (ethyl alcohol)
Changes in Matter • Physical Changes are changes to matter that do not result in a change of the fundamental components that make that substance (CHANGE IN CONDITION) • State Changes – boiling, melting, condensing • Chemical Changes involve a change in the fundamental components of the substance (CHANGE IN MATERIAL) • Produce a new substance • Chemical reaction • Reactants Products
It’s a physical change if • It changes shape or size • It dissolves.
It’s a physical change if... • It changes phase (freezes, boils, evaporates, condenses)
It’s a chemical change if…. • It burns • Temperature changes without heating/cooling
It’s a chemical change if... • It bubbles (makes a gas)
It’s a chemical change if... • It changes color • It forms a precipitate
What kind of change is it if someone... • Tears up paper? • Physical change • Mixes salt and water? • Physical change
What kind of change is it if someone... • Burns paper? • Chemical change • Evaporates salt water? • Physical change
Table salt is stirred into water (left), forming a homogeneous mixture called a solution (right)
What kind of change is it if someone... • Mixes vinegar and baking soda? • Chemical change
Physical vs. Chemical chemical physical chemical physical physical • Examples: • rusting iron • dissolving in water • burning a log • melting ice • grinding spices
Classify Each of the following as Physical or Chemical Changes • Iron is melted. • Physical change – describes a state change, but the material is still iron • Iron combines with oxygen to form rust. • Chemical change – describes how iron and oxygen react to make a new substance, rust • Sugar ferments to form ethyl alcohol. • Chemical change – describes how sugar forms a new substance (ethyl alcohol)
PHYSICAL CHEMICAL CHANGE New form of old substance. No new substances formed. Old substance destroyed. New substance formed. PROPERTIES Description by senses – shape, color, odor, etc. Measurable properties – density, boiling point, etc. List of chemical changes possible. Properties of Matter
