Lab Manual Questions:

1. Definitions
WORD DEFINITION
Energy Ability to do work or produce heat.
Matter Anything that has mass and occupies space.
Physical A substance that can be observed and measured without changing the composition of the
Property substance.
Chemical A substance that can be observed after a substance undergoes a change in composition.
Property
Physical Change in matter that does not involve a chemical reaction.
Change
Chemical Change in matter that does involve a chemical reaction.
change
Element Pure substance that cannot be broken down by chemical or physical means.
Compound A substance created when the atoms of two or more chemical elements join.
Substance Form of matter with chemical composition and characteristic properties.
Mixture Substance made by mixing other substances together.

Sublimation Transition from solid to gas without passing through liquid.


Heterogeneous Mixture with a non-uniform composition.
Homogeneous Mixture with a non-uniform composition.

2. List some physical properties (include phases: solid, liquid, and gas) of an ice cube,
water, and steam:

The physical properties of an ice cube are solid, definite shape, less dense than water, and higher
volume than water and steam. The physical properties of water are liquid, have no definite shape,
definite volume, high polarity, and attract other polar molecules. The physical properties of
steam are gas, no definite shape or volume, and boiling point increases with pressure.

3. List whether Chemical or physical change for following items in the table below:

Substance Chemical change or Physical change


Rusting of iron Chemical change
Cooking an egg Chemical change
Burning wood Chemical change
Acquiring a suntan Chemical change
Dissolving salt Physical change
Evaporation of water Physical change

4. For each mixture or reaction list accordingly:

Substance Chemical change or Physical change


Combustion of magnesium Chemical change
Magnesium in HCl Chemical change
Heating sucrose to make syrup Physical change
Bicarbonate and HCl Chemical change
Salt dissolving in water Chemical change
Separating salt from sand Physical change
Mixture Miscible or Immiscible
Hexane and water Immiscible
Hexane and acetone Miscible
Acetone and water Miscible
5. Alka seltzer in water. Chemical or physical change? State evidence of the type of
change.
Alka seltzer in water is a chemical change because it produces gas once the solid and liquid
combine with each other.

Post Lab Questions:

1. Combining water and oil. Heterogenous or homogenous mixture? Is the oil soluble
or insoluble in the water?
Combining water and oil is a heterogeneous mixture and oil is insoluble to water.

2. Explain what is happening to the particles of a substance at each phase of matter


(solid, liquid, gas).
The particles of a substance in a solid are very close since they are attracted to each other. When
it reaches liquid, the particles pull apart but are still close together and they are always moving
and sliding past one another. In gas, the particles are floating, moving, and colliding with each
other.
