This document discusses physical and chemical changes of matter. It defines physical changes as changes in form or state that do not alter chemical composition, such as melting, freezing, or mixing. Chemical changes alter chemical composition and create new substances, such as burning, digesting, or rusting. A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction. Evidence of a chemical reaction can include light, temperature change, gas formation, color change, or solid precipitation. The law of conservation of mass states that matter is not created or destroyed in chemical reactions.

Physical and Chemical Changes
of Matter What is “Change”? It is the act of altering a substance.
An event, NOT a trait.
Before condition After condition.
Can be PHYSICAL or CHEMICAL.
Physical Change Does not alter the chemical composition or identity of the substance, only the form.
Melting ice (change in state or phase)
Freezing Kool-aid Tearing paper Boiling water (change in state or phase) Stretching silly putty Making a mixture (ex. Sugar water) Unmixing a mixture (ex. sorting) Chemical Changes Does alter the chemical composition or identity of a substance and makes new substances.
Burning paper Digesting food
Rotting
Iron reacting with oxygen gas
A chemical change is also called a chemical
reaction. Is it Physical or Chemical? Change Physical Chemical Melting cheese Burning wood Milk souring Wadding up paper Bicycle rusting Parts of a Chemical Reaction Reactants Products
Reactants: Substances that are broken
down by the chemical change. Products: Substances created by the chemical change. Means “Yields” Evidence for Chemical Reaction 1) Evolution of light. Evidence for Chemical Reaction 2) Temperature Change. Evidence for Chemical Reaction 3) Formation of a new Gas/Bubbles. Evidence for Chemical Reaction 4) Color Changes. Evidence for Chemical Reaction 5) Formation of a solid precipitate. Law of Conservation of Mass (1789)
Matter is never created or destroyed in
chemical reactions. Mass of reactants = Mass of products Why??? Because atoms are simply rearranged in new ways in chemical reactions. (LEGO analogy) States of Matter The 3 main states of matter: solid, liquid, gas.
Changes in state are physical changes (no
change in composition).
Temperature is caused by the vibrational
(kinetic) energy of atoms or molecules.
As temperature increases, 1) solids turn to
liquids, and 2) liquids turn to gases. States of Matter for H2O Definite Definite Compressible? Shape? Volume? GAS N N Y LIQUID N Y N SOLID Y Y N CHANGES OF STATE
