Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The dissolution of calcium chloride in water has to be classified as physical change or chemical change.
Concept Introduction:
Physical change: An alteration of substance without changing its composition is called as physical change. The change in state of a substance is the most common physical change. Example: Melting of an ice cube to form liquid water.
Chemical change: The conversion of one material to another is called as chemical change (or)
(b)
Interpretation:
The process of burning gasoline to power a car has to be classified as physical change or chemical change.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The process of heating wax has to be classified as physical change or chemical change.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- aIs the process of boiling water exothermic or endothermic with respect to the water? bA charged object is moved closer to another object that has the same charge. The energy of the system changes. Is it a change in kinetic energy or potential energy? Is the energy changes an increase or a decrease?arrow_forwardWater is put on the stove and heated with a natural gas burner. After some time, the water begins to bubble, and steam is given off. What kind of change has occurred? a. physical b. chemical c. no change has occurredarrow_forwardThe photo below shows elemental iodine dissolving in ethanol to give a solution. Is this a physical or chemical change?arrow_forward
- 1.13 Physical properties may change because of a chemical change. For example, the color of an egg white changes from clear to white because of a chemical change when it is cooked. What is another common situation in which a chemical change also leads to a physical change?arrow_forwardWhich among the following are physical changes? a blowing glass; b fermenting grapes; c forming a snowflake; d evaporating dry ice; e decomposing a substance by heating it.arrow_forwardA hot metal block is plunged into water in a well-insulated container. The temperature of the metal block goes down, and the temperature of the water goes up until their temperatures are the same. A total of 1500 J of energy' is lost by the metal object. By how much did the energy of the water increase? What law of science is illustrated by this problem?arrow_forward
- In Figure 1.5 you see macroscopic and particulate views of the element bromine. Which are the macroscopic views and which are the particulate views? Describe how the particulate views explain properties of this element related to the state of matter.arrow_forwardDescribe a piece of ice at the particulate level. Then describe what happens to the ice as it is heated until it melts and eventually boils.arrow_forwardYou may have noticed that when water boils, you can see bubbles that rise to the surface of the water. a. What is inside these bubbles? i. air ii. hydrogen and oxygen gas iii. oxygen gas iv. water vapor v. carbon dioxide gas b. Is the boiling of water a chemical or physical change? Explain.arrow_forward
- A 2.0-mer volume of hydrogen gas combined with 1.0 liter of oxygen gas to produce 2.0 liters of water vapor. Does oxygen undergo a chemical or physical change?arrow_forwardA particulate-level illustration of the reaction AB+CDAD+CB is shown below. a Identify the reactants and products in this reaction. b Is the change shown chemical or physical? c Is the mass of the product particles less than, equal to, or greater than the mass of the reactant particles? d If the reaction takes place in a container that allows no energy to enter or leave, how does the total energy in the container after the reaction compare with the total energy in the container before the reaction?arrow_forwardHow does a homogeneous mixture differ from a pure substance? How are they similar?arrow_forward
