Question
part c
in this section, you will work with a partner. you and your partner will be given a stack of cards where you will organize the cards into the categories of physical and chemical change. write physical and chemical change for the scenarios in the table below.
| description | physical and chemical change (we will assume all chemical changes are also physical changes) |
|---|---|
| boiling water | |
| hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide to produce a salt, water, and heat | |
| burning wood | |
| water is heated until it begins to boil and produces steam | |
| a soft piece of pure sodium metal is sliced in half | |
| the compound kclo3 decomposes (breaks down) into kcl solid and o2 gas | |
| dry ice, frozen solid co2 sublimes directly to co2 gas. | |
| a plant photosynthesizes sunlight and co2 to produce glucose and o2 | |
| iron metal is oxidized by oxygen gas to produce fe2o3 seen as rust on an old iron nail | |
| the lactose sugar in milk is converted to lactic acid by bacteria | |
| a piece of paper is folded in half | |
| droplets of water condense on the outside of cold glass of water on a hot summer day |
Step1: Recall definitions
Physical change - no new substances formed, chemical change - new substances formed.
Step2: Analyze "Using a flashlight"
It involves energy - conversion (chemical to electrical to light), but no new substances in the flashlight itself, so physical change.
Step3: Analyze "Boiling Water"
Water changes from liquid to gas, no new substances formed, physical change.
Step4: Analyze "Hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide"
New substances (salt, water) are formed, chemical change.
Step5: Analyze "Burning wood"
Wood reacts with oxygen to form new substances like carbon - dioxide and ash, chemical change.
Step6: Analyze "Water is heated until it boils and produces steam"
No new substances formed, just a state - change, physical change.
Step7: Analyze "A soft piece of pure sodium metal is sliced in half"
No new substances formed, just a physical division, physical change.
Step8: Analyze "The compound KClO3 decomposes into KCl solid and O2 gas"
New substances are formed, chemical change.
Step9: Analyze "Dry ice sublimates"
No new substances formed, just a state - change from solid to gas, physical change.
Step10: Analyze "A plant photosynthesizes"
New substances (glucose and O2) are formed, chemical change.
Step11: Analyze "Iron metal is oxidized"
New substance (Fe2O3) is formed, chemical change.
Step12: Analyze "The lactose sugar in milk is converted to lactic acid"
New substance (lactic acid) is formed, chemical change.
Step13: Analyze "A piece of paper is folded in half"
No new substances formed, physical change.
Step14: Analyze "Droplets of water condense on the outside of a cold glass"
No new substances formed, just a state - change (gas to liquid), physical change.
