Physical Changes
- In a physical change, the chemical composition of a substance does not change.
- Physical changes are reversible.
- Example: ice melting to water – both are H₂O.
- All state changes (melting, freezing, boiling, condensing, subliming) are physical changes.
- Another example: dissolving sugar in water – can be reversed by evaporation.
- Mass is conserved in a physical change (e.g., 100 g ice → 100 g water).
Chemical Reactions
- In a chemical reaction, the chemical composition of substances changes.
- Example: iron rusting – iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (colour change grey/silver → reddish/brown).
- Chemical reactions are not easily reversible.
- Mass is conserved in a chemical reaction: mass of reactants = mass of products.
- Example: 70 g iron + 30 g oxygen → 100 g iron oxide.
Signs of a Chemical Reaction
- Colour change (e.g., iron rusting).
- Temperature change (usually rise).
- Gas given out – may show as effervescence (bubbles).
- Light emitted.
- Precipitation – a solid (precipitate) forms.
Conservation of Mass
- In both physical and chemical changes, mass is conserved.
- The total mass before the change equals the total mass after.
- For a chemical reaction: mass of reactants = mass of products.
- Example: 50 g copper + 12 g oxygen → 62 g copper oxide.
Reversing Physical Changes
- Physical changes can be reversed by changing conditions.
- Melting/freezing: change temperature.
- Dissolving: evaporate the solvent to recover the solute.
- Example: heat salt solution until water evaporates, leaving salt behind.
Particle arrangement in solid, liquid and gas – all state changes are physical changes.
