    Interpretation Introduction

    (a)

    Interpretation:

    Classify the following statement as a physical or chemical change or property.

    1. Milk curdles if a few drop of lemon juice are added to it.

    Concept Introduction:

    Chemical change occurs in a chemical reaction where there is a change in the chemical composition of the substance. In a physical change, there is no change in the chemical composition of the substance but there is a change in the odor, color, melting point etc. of the substance.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    Milk curdles if a few drops of lemon juice are added to it: chemical change.

    Explanation of Solution

    On adding the acid in lemon juice, the pH of milk drops, which causes the protein casein molecules to attract one another and form a clump. This curdling of milk is a chemical change which is accelerated in at warmer temperatures than at cold temperatures.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    Butter turns rancid if it is left exposed at room temperature: chemical change.

    Explanation of Solution

    Butter has fat in it and when fat undergoes oxidation reaction in air it produces a gas that is unpleasant smelling. This how butter turns rancid if it is left exposed at room temperature, which is a chemical change.

    Interpretation:

    Classify the following statement as a physical or chemical change or property.

  • Salad dressing separates into layers after standing.
  • Concept Introduction:

    Chemical change occurs in a chemical reaction where there is a change in the chemical composition of the substance. In a physical change, there is no change in the chemical composition of the substance but there is a change in the odor, color, melting point etc. of the substance.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    Salad dressing separates into layers after standing: physical change .

    Explanation of Solution

    Salad dressing is made up on oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and water. Oil and water are immiscible; hence salad dressing separates into layers after standing. Salad dressing is a mixture and it separating into layers after standing is a physical change. There is no change in the chemical composition of the components of a salad dressing.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    Milk of magnesia neutralizes stomach acid: chemical change.

    Explanation of Solution

    Milk of magnesia is Mg(OH)2, a base, which reacts with HCl in stomach to form a salt MgCl2 Here there is formation of a new product. Hence, milk of magnesia neutralizing stomach acid is a chemical change.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    The steel in a car has rust spots: chemical change.

    Explanation of Solution

    Rusting is a chemical redox reaction. Iron in the presence of oxygen in the air and water or air moisture gets converted to hydrated iron(III) oxides Fe2 O.

    (f)

    Interpretation:

    Classify the following statement as a physical or chemical change or property.

  • A person is asphyxiated by breathing carbon monoxide.
  • Concept Introduction:

    Chemical change occurs in a chemical reaction where there is a change in the chemical composition of the substance. In a physical change, there is no change in the chemical composition of the substance but there is a change in the odor, color, melting point etc. of the substance.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    A person is asphyxiated by breathing carbon monoxide: chemical change.

    Explanation of Solution

    Carbon monoxide binds strongly and irreversibly to the heme protein in hemoglobin. As a result hemoglobin can no longer carry oxygen in the blood. So in the person of carbon monoxide hemoglobin undergoes a chemical change. Therefore, a person is asphyxiated by breathing carbon monoxide is a chemical change.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    Spilled acid burns a hole in cotton jeans: chemical change.

    Explanation of Solution

    Acids are corrosive and they can break the carbon carbon covalent bonds in cotton fabrics that jeans are made up of. So acids buring a hole in cotton jeans is a chemical change.

    Answer to Problem 49AP

    Sweat cools the body as the sweat evaporates from the skin: physical change.

    Explanation of Solution

    Sweat is in the liquid state. In order to evaporate or get transformed into vapor phase, sweat absorbs heat from the surrounding area on the skin, thereby cooling the whole body.

    The transformation of sweat from liquid to gas phase is a physical change.
