UNIT 1: Lesson 3
Review text pp 36-43 and your note annotations (highlight, underline, star content, bracket information, write notes in the margin). Find evidence for answering the following questions by stating the page(s). Write concrete details to the questions using complete sentences. Use good grammar skills, check spelling accuracy, and use good science vocabulary.
1. What “occurs” and “does NOT occur” when a substance undergoes a “physical change?”
During a physical change a substance changes from one “form” (look/appearance) to
another, but the CHEMICAL IDENTITY of the substance REMAINS THE SAME.
2. Name 3 physical properties that change as wool becomes a sweater. There is a change in
SHAPE, volume (SIZE) and texture (APPEARANCE), but the wool does NOT CHANGE
its CHEMICAL IDENTITY.
3. Why is changing a substance’s state of matter (solid, liquid or gas) a physical change? Use water
[H2O] as an example. Changing from one state of matter to another is a physical change
because although water undergoes a in its appearance (ice, liquid water, water vapor) its
CHEMICAL IDENTITY does NOT change. In all 3 different states of matter, the water is
still H2O.
4. Name 7 verbs that would indicate a physical change would occur. Stretching, DISSOLVING
(mixing and blending), cutting, MELTING (freezing/solidifying and boiling), bending,
crushing,knitting… (Pg 37) dyeing, twisting, shearing…(Pg 36)
5. What is the difference between a chemical “property” and a chemical “change and give an
example?” a chemical PROPERTY describes the chemical change that can or cannot happen
to a substance. A chemical “change” is the PROCESS the substance actually goes
throughto change into a NEW SUBSTANCE. (e.g. chemical property = flammability;
chemical change =burning)
6. What needs to be “rearranged” for a chemical change to alter a substance’s chemical identity? To
change a substance’s chemical identity the PARTICLES (atoms/molecules) and
CHEMICAL BONDS need to be rearranged.
7. How does “temperature” cause the particles of a substance to become rearranged? At higher
temperatures the particles have MORE KINETIC ENERGY (energy of motion), move
faster and more freely(not held together as tightly), and are more easily rearranged.
8. Name 5 different signs that a chemical change may have occurred and give an example of each.
PRODUCTION of an ODOR (egg rotting, milk souring, lightning), GAS(Alka Seltzer in
water) or a PRECIPITATE (solid, lead oxide precipitate forming from 2 clear liquids
chemically combining) and/or a CHANGE in COLOR (gray iron [Fe] rusting and
turning brownish-orange) and ENERGY (unlit candle changing its stored energy
(potential energy) when ignited to heat and light energy).
9. What does the “Law of Conservation of Mass” state? During chemical and physical changes,
MASS is NOT CREATED or DESTROYED, but simply CHANGES FORM or is
TRANSFORMED into differentsubstances.
10. How is the Law of Conservation of Mass preserved in the physical changes made to the toy robot
and to the combination of vinegar and baking sodaon page 43? Toy robot looks different but
has all the same parts and therefore has the same mass as it did before the parts were
switched around. The vinegar and baking soda (the reactants) have the same mass
before the reaction as the new substances (water, sodium ions and acetate ions) and the
CO2 gas contained in the balloon (theproducts) after the reaction.
[STOICHIOMETRY is the process used to ensure the Law of Conservation was preserved
during a chemical change/reaction.]
