physical and chemical properties. Give two

examples for each type of property.
The chart should make clear that physical
properties can be observed without changing
the composition of the sample, which is not the
case for chemical properties. Mass and density
are examples of physical properties. Fermentation
and rusting are examples of chemical properties.

Sample I: masslead/massoxygen 6.46

Chemistry is the study of matter and the
changes that it undergoes.
99. What is mass? Weight? (Chapter 1)

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter
an object contains. It is measured on a balance.
The weight of an object is the amount of
gravitational pull acting on the mass of an
object. It is measured on a scale.
Yes. If the mixture of gases is cooled sufficiently,

it will condense into a mixture of liquids. This
mixture could then be distilled.

Short Answer
10. Compare and contrast the independent variable
in an experiment with the dependent variable.
Both the independent and the dependent
variables can have different values during the
course of an experiment. The independent
variable has specific values that are
predetermined by the researcher, while the
dependent variable has values that are measured
as a result of the experiment and therefore
cannot be determined in advance.
11. A student reports the melting point of a gas as
295C. Explain why his claim is unlikely to

be correct.
The value of 295C is equivalent to 22 K. This
answer does not make sense because 0 K is
absolute zero and no temperature can be below
this.

These are physical properties because they

as they react with other substances.

above.
Use the solubility of mothballs in alcohol first:
dissolve the mothballs and filter or decant the

Next, add water to the remaining substances: the
sawdust will float since its density is less than
that of water, and the salt will dissolve. Filter or
decant to separate the two substances. Crystallize
the salt to remove the water.

16. Explain the difference between a chemical
change and a physical change. Is the combustion of gasoline a chemical change or a physical

A physical change does not change the
composition of the substance, whereas a chemical
change is a process in which one or more
substances are changed into new substances.
The combustion of gasoline is a chemical change
because the gasoline is changed into other
substances during combustion.
