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.

A successful collision has enough energy to break bonds, so the reactant particles rearrange to form the products.

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.

Mixing silver nitrate and sodium chloride solutions forms an insoluble silver chloride precipitate, which can be collected by filtration.

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.
