- Consider the following separations of materials. State whether a physical process or a chemical reaction is involved in each separation. I. Sodium chloride is obtained from seawater by evaporation of the water. II. Mercury is obtained by heating the substance mercury (II) oxide; oxygen is also obtained. III. Pure water is obtained from ocean water by evaporating the water, then condensing it. IV. Iron is produced from an iron ore that contains the substance iron (III) oxide. V. Gold is obtained from river sand by panning (allowing the heavy metal to settle in flowing water).arrow_forwardIs boiling water a physical or chemical change? Provide evidence from the pictures. When______changes occur, Written excerpt-The water being boiled is pure water. When the water is heated the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases, meaning that the molecules begin to move faster. As the speed increases they begin to overcome their attractions to the other molecules. This eventually allows the water to change from a liquid to a gas as molecules escape out of the liquid and into the air. In the written excerpt it indicates that?
