- Which of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes? You curl your hair with a curling iron. You curl your hair by getting a “permanent wave” at the hair salon. Ice on your sidewalk melts when you put salt on it. A glass of water evaporates overnight when it is left on the bedside table. Your steak chars if the skillet is too hot. Alcohol feels cool when it is spilled on the skin. Alcohol ignites when a flame is brought near it.

- A material is believed to be a compound. Suppose you have several samples of this material obtained from various places around the world. Comment on what you would expect to find upon observing the melting point and color for each sample. What would you expect to find upon determining the elemental composition for each sample?arrow_forwardIn each case, decide if the change is a chemical or physical change. (a) A cup of household bleach changes the color of your favorite T-shirt from purple to pink. (b) Water vapor in your exhaled breath condenses in the air on a cold day. (c) Plants use carbon dioxide from the air to make sugar. (d) Butter melts when placed in the Sun.arrow_forward¡n a sample of a gaseous substance, more than 99% of the overall volume of the sample is empty space.

- You receive a mixture of table salt and sand and have to separate the mixture into pure substances. Explain how you would carry out this task. Is your method based on physical or chemical properties? Explain.arrow_forwardOn October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forwardSuppose someone emptied ball bearings into a container of salt. Could you separate the ball bearings from the salt? How? Would your method involve no change, be a physical change, or be a chemical change?arrow_forward
