Which of the following processes is a physical change? (a) evaporation of water; (b) combination ofhydrogen and oxygen gas to produce water; (c) dissolution of sugar in water; (d) separation of sodium chloride (table salt) into its constituentelements, sodium and chlorine; (e) combustion of sugar to produce carbon dioxide and water.
7. State whether each of the following represents a chemical change or merely a physical change:(a) A few grams of sucrose (table sugar) are placed in a small beaker of deionized water; the sugar crystals “disappear,” and the liquid in the beaker remains clear and colorless.(b) A copper statue, over time, turns green.(c) When a teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is placed into a few ounces of vinegar (acetic acid), volumes of bubbles (effervescence) are produced.
5 Water is evaporated from the magnesium
chloride solution. The resulting solid is melted
at 700°C and decomposed by passing electric
current through it.
(a) What is the name of the physical change
that occurs first in the magnesium chloride?
(b) Write the balanced chemical equation for
this step.
