Characteristics and Properties of a Substance

The characteristics and properties of a substance allow us to explain how substances
are different from one another. We can describe a substance based on its texture,
hardness, flexibility, strength, buoyancy, solubility, colour, and mass/weight.
Texture
The texture of a substance is the feel and consistency of a substance. Some
substances are thick and chunky, while others are smooth.
Hardness
Hardness is a physical property of a substance. It is how hard a substance is which can
also be considered how stiff or resistant to bending, scratching or cutting.
Flexibility
The flexibility of a substance refers to its ability to bend. Rubber is a substance that is
very flexible. Wood on the other hand, is not flexible.
Strength
The strength of a substance is its ability to withstand great force or pressure without
breaking.
Buoyancy
The buoyancy of a substance is its ability to float in water or air or other fluid.
Solubility
The solubility of a substance is the ability for the substance to dissolve into a liquid. Salt
is a substance that dissolves easily into water. Therefore, salt is soluble.
Colour
The colour of a substance is used to describe a substance and differentiate between
substances. We describe salts differently as there can be white salt or pink salt.
Mass/Weight
How much a substance weighs or its mass is another way we describe substances.

Chemical vs Physical Change

A physical change occurs when the particles inside a substance speed up
or slow down. This often results in the matter changing state, from a solid to a
liquid – particles speeding up, or from a gas to a liquid – particles slowing down. A
physical change is reversible as a new substance is not formed. A chemical
change on the other hand, is irreversible. In a chemical change, the particles in
two separate elements or molecules rearrange themselves and bond together
differently to form a new product with different characteristics than the
original elements/molecules. Therefore, when a new substance is formed, the
change is called a chemical change.

Examples of Chemical Changes

Rust is an example of a chemical change because a new substance occurs
and the change is irreversible. Rusting is also called oxidation as it is the process
where metal reacts with oxygen in the air as well as water or moisture in the
air. The combination of metal, air, and water produces a new substance, which
we call rust. The equation for rust is: iron (Fe) + oxygen (O) + water (H2O).
Another example of a chemical change occurs when
we mix baking soda with vinegar. The sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) reacts with the acetic acid and water
(vinegar) which produces carbon dioxide that we can see
in the form of bubbles releasing into the air.

True or False Circle whether the statement is true or false

What is a solution?
In chemistry, a solution is a type of mixture where one substance is dissolved
into another. When we put chocolate syrup into milk, we are dissolving the syrup
into the milk. The result is a solution that looks like one combined substance, meaning
it is homogeneous. A homogeneous solution is a mixture where the components that
make up the mixture are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. The look of
the mixture is the same throughout. When we look at chocolate milk, it is a
homogeneous solution because it looks the same throughout the entire cup. A
heterogeneous mixture means we can see the two substances separated in the
container. For example, cereal is a heterogeneous mixture because we can see the
cereal and the milk separate in the bowl. The one substance has not dissolved into
the other, meaning it is a heterogeneous mixture and not a solution. A solution can
only be homogeneous because the one substance needs to dissolve into the other..

Word Bank
Solution Solute Solvent Homogeneous Heterogenous
Dissolving
All solutions are made of a solvent and a solute. For a mixture to be a solution,
the solute needs to dissolve into the solvent. When we make a mixture of two
substances, we do not always get a solution because sometimes the solute will not
dissolve into the solvent. Dissolving happens when the larger crystal of molecules
within a solute breaks up in smaller groups or individual molecules. This break down
of molecules is a result of coming in contact with the solvent. The molecules then
spread out more evenly and mix with the molecules within the solvent. This leads to a
homogeneous solution that all looks the same.

Solubility
Solubility is a term used to describe how much solute can be dissolved into a liter of
solvent. When we put a teaspoon of salt into a litre of water and stir, it will dissolve pretty
quickly. If we keep adding salt, eventually the water will not be able to dissolve the salt. This
is because the water molecules cannot break off the salt molecules from the larger
crystal lattice. The salt molecules stay attached, which means we can still see them in the
water leaving us with a heterogeneous mixture. When a solution reaches the point where the
solvent cannot dissolve the solute, it is considered saturated.
Concentration
We can describe a solution in terms of its concentration. Concentration refers to
the proportion of solute to solvent. When we only add a teaspoon of salt to a litre of
solvent, we have a low concentration of salt to water. This low concentration of solute to
solvent is said to be diluted. A concentrated solution would have a lot of solute compared to
the solvent. When you mix Kool-Aid with water, you can have a diluted solution or a
concentrated solution. If you want a strong flavour, you would mix a lot of solute (Kool-Aid)
to the water (solvent). This would be a concentrated solution. If you wanted a healthier
alternative, you could opt for less solute and more solvent to have a diluted version of your
drink.
Solubility of Solids, Liquids, Gases
Just about everything can be a solution. Solids, liquids, and gases can all be dissolved
depending on what the solute and solvent is.

Solution Example
Gas-Gas Air – Oxygen (solute) and Nitrogen (solvent)
Gas-Liquid Carbon Dioxide (solute) added to Water (solvent)
When water vapour (solute) in the air comes in contact with a window
Gas-Solid
(solvent) it produces a frost on the window
Liquid-Liquid Cream (solute) into coffee (solvent)
Liquid-Solid Dental Fillings start as a liquid (solute) and dissolve into a solid/tooth (solvent)

Chemicals at Home
Scientists and Chemists work hard to find substances that can help people.
Chemicals help people in many different ways. We use chemicals to clean our house,
as medication to make us feel better, and as paint to make a space stand out.

Household Cleaners
The handling of certain household cleaners needs to be done properly in
order not to harm ourselves. Certain household cleaners have powerful
chemicals that are needed to get rid of tough stains. We may need to
use gloves, eyewear, and a mask when using certain chemicals. You can
check the safety symbols on a bottle to understand how to handle the
cleaner. Never use a cleaner without parental supervision! Using a
chemical incorrectly can lead to loss of vision, burning of skin, and
chemical poisoning that could land you in the hospital!

Medication
A doctor will write a prescription for a chemical/medication for the person who
should take it. It is NEVER okay to take someone else’s prescription medicine as the
chemicals in the medicine are only designed for certain people. If a person takes
medicine that was not designed for them, it can lead to scary side effects. Always
ask a parent or guardian before taking medicine!

Paint
Using paint should be done carefully. There are chemicals like lead in certain paints
that can be very harmful for our bodies. Before using paint, read the label to
understand what chemicals are in it. Making sure you are painting in a properly
ventilated area is important to avoid getting dizzy and feeling sick.

Raw Materials
Raw materials are natural materials that can be very useful for us. In their raw
state, these materials have less use then if we process them. For example, iron is a
raw material that on its own, does not serve much of a purpose. But, if we
process iron, we can make steel and form it into beams for buildings or tools to
eat with or build with. Just remember, a raw material is something we find in nature
that is unfinished or unchanged.
Processing Raw Materials
Many foods need to be processed in order to be as delicious as the food we enjoy.
For example, fish is a raw material that we catch in the water. Very few people
eat fish raw. They process it by cooking it. When we cook fish, we change the fish
chemically, because we cannot convert it back to its original raw state. The fish
now has a different chemical makeup.
Milling
Paper is a very useful processed material. We take the raw material of wood
from trees and grind it up so it becomes a powder like material. To turn it into
pulp, we add water. Wood pulp is like watery soup! To make paper, the thin sheet is
produced by applying pressure on the pulp and then letting it dry.
Moulding
Moulding is the shaping of raw material using a solid frame of a particular shape.
Moulding is a process that is used in manufacturing. A mould is a hallow container
that holds the liquid material until it turns into a solid. Plastics are commonly used in a
mold to become a solid shape of something useful.

 ANSWERS

Characteristics and Properties of a Substance

The characteristics and properties of a substance allow us to explain how substances
are different from one another. We can describe a substance based on its texture,
hardness, flexibility, strength, buoyancy, solubility, colour, and mass/weight.
Texture
The texture of a substance is the feel and consistency of a substance. Some
substances are thick and chunky, while others are smooth.
Hardness
Hardness is a physical property of a substance. It is how hard a substance is which can
also be considered how stiff or resistant to bending, scratching or cutting.
Flexibility
The flexibility of a substance refers to its ability to bend. Rubber is a substance that is
very flexible.
Strength
The strength of a substance is its ability to withstand great force or pressure without
breaking.
Buoyancy
The buoyancy of a substance is its ability to float in water or air or other fluid.
Solubility
The solubility of a substance is the ability for the substance to dissolve into a liquid. Salt
is a substance that dissolves easily into water.
Colour
The colour of a substance is used to describe a substance and differentiate between
substances.
Mass/Weight
How much a substance weighs or its mass is another way we describe substances.

Examples Describe the following substances using the properties above

Honey

Honey is thick in texture, soft in hardness, very flexible, weak, not buoyant, soluble and weighs more than water. It has a yellow

colour.

Rubber

Water is firm and hard, flexible as it can bend. It is strong as it doesn’t snap easily but it will bend. It is buoyant as it will float. It is

not soluble and it is usually black and does not weigh much.

 Answer Key

Chemical vs Physical Change

A physical change occurs when the particles inside a substance speed up
or slow down. This often results in the matter changing state, from a solid to a
liquid – particles speeding up, or from a gas to a liquid – particles slowing down. A
physical change is reversible as a new substance is not formed. A chemical
change on the other hand, is irreversible. In a chemical change, the particles in
two separate elements or molecules rearrange themselves and bond together
differently to form a new product with different characteristics than the
original elements/molecules. Therefore, when a new substance is formed, the
change is called a chemical change.

Examples of Chemical Changes

Rust is an example of a chemical change because a new substance occurs
and the change is irreversible. Rusting is also called oxidation as it is the process
where metal reacts with oxygen in the air as well as water or moisture in the
air. The combination of metal, air, and water produces a new substance, which
we call rust. The equation for rust is: iron (Fe) + oxygen (O) + water (H2O).
Another example of a chemical change occurs when
we mix baking soda with vinegar. The sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) reacts with the acetic acid and water
(vinegar) which produces carbon dioxide that we can see
in the form of bubbles releasing into the air.

1. What is a chemical change? Provide an example.

A chemical change is when two or more substances react together to form a new substance. The change is
irreversible.
2. What is the difference between a chemical and physical change?
A chemical change is irreversible, while a physical change is irreversible. A chemical change occurs when two substances react when
exposed to each other. A new substance is created and the new substance cannot be changed back to the original substances. An
example is when we mix baking soda and vinegar and get carbon dioxide. A physical change is reversible as it is usually a substance that
changes state. Liquid water changes state to ice – a solid but it can change back if it reaches its melting point.

Liquid Evaporation Heat Faster
Disappear Gas Warmer

The process of a liquid changing into a gas is called evaporation.

A liquid will turn into a gas as a result of heat being applied to the

liquid. A spill will disappear as a result of being evaporated. The

steam you see flowing out of a kettle is a gas. The warmer the

temperature, the faster the liquid will evaporate.

Short Answer Questions

1. Why do hand dryers use hot air instead of just air?
Hot air will cause the evaporation of the liquid on your hands to occur faster.

What is a solution?
In chemistry, a solution is a type of mixture where one substance is dissolved
into another. When we put chocolate syrup into milk, we are dissolving the syrup
into the milk. The result is a solution that looks like one combined substance, meaning
it is homogeneous. A homogeneous solution is a mixture where the components that
make up the mixture are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. The look of
the mixture is the same throughout. When we look at chocolate milk, it is a
homogeneous solution because it looks the same throughout the entire cup. A
heterogeneous mixture means we can see the two substances separated in the
container. For example, cereal is a heterogeneous mixture because we can see the
cereal and the milk separate in the bowl. The one substance has not dissolved into
the other, meaning it is a heterogeneous mixture and not a solution. A solution can
only be homogeneous because the one substance needs to dissolve into the other..

Definitions Explain what the following terms mean

Solution A mixture of substances where the solute dissolves into the solvent

Homogeneous
A solution where the mixture looks the same throughout
Solution

Heterogeneous A mixture where we can see the two substances after they have
Mixture been mixed. The solute does not dissolve into the solvent.

Word Bank
Solution Solute Solvent Homogeneous Heterogenous
Dissolving
All solutions are made of a solvent and a solute. For a mixture to be a solution,
the solute needs to dissolve into the solvent. When we make a mixture of two
substances, we do not always get a solution because sometimes the solute will not
dissolve into the solvent. Dissolving happens when the larger crystal of molecules
within a solute breaks up in smaller groups or individual molecules. This break down
of molecules is a result of coming in contact with the solvent. The molecules then
spread out more evenly and mix with the molecules within the solvent. This leads to a
homogeneous solution that all looks the same.

Explain
What is happening in this picture? Look at the food
colouring and explain using the following terms: solute,
solvent, dissolving, homogeneous.
The food colouring (solute) is dissolving into the water (solvent) which will
leave us with a homogeneous solution.

Make a Connection Use your own experiences to answer the question

What are some mixtures that you have made? Explain what the solute and solvent was
and whether it was a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.

 Answer Key

Solubility
Solubility is a term used to describe how much solute can be dissolved into a liter of
solvent. When we put a teaspoon of salt into a litre of water and stir, it will dissolve pretty
quickly. If we keep adding salt, eventually the water will not be able to dissolve the salt. This
is because the water molecules cannot break off the salt molecules from the larger
crystal lattice. The salt molecules stay attached, which means we can still see them in the
water leaving us with a heterogeneous mixture. When a solution reaches the point where the
solvent cannot dissolve the solute, it is considered saturated. I
Concentration
We can describe a solution in terms of its concentration. Concentration refers to
the proportion of solute to solvent. When we only add a teaspoon of salt to a litre of
solvent, we have a low concentration of salt to water. This low concentration of solute to
solvent is said to be diluted. A concentrated solution would have a lot of solute compared to
the solvent. When you mix Kool-Aid with water, you can have a diluted solution or a
concentrated solution. If you want a strong flavour, you would mix a lot of solute (Kool-Aid)
to the water (solvent). This would be a concentrated solution. If you wanted a healthier
alternative, you could opt for less solute and more solvent to have a diluted version of your
drink.
Solubility of Solids, Liquids, Gases
Just about everything can be a solution. Solids, liquids, and gases can all be dissolved
depending on what the solute and solvent is.

Solution Example
Gas-Gas Air – Oxygen (solute) and Nitrogen (solvent)
Gas-Liquid Carbon Dioxide (solute) added to Water (solvent)
When water vapour (solute) in the air comes in contact with a window
Gas-Solid
(solvent) it produces a frost on the window
Liquid-Liquid Cream (solute) into coffee (solvent)
Liquid-Solid Dental Fillings start as a liquid (solute) and dissolve into a solid/tooth (solvent)
Solid-Solid Brass consists of zinc as solute and copper as solvent

1. What mixtures have you made where you like a concentrated or diluted solution?
Answers will vary

2. What does saturated mean? Have you ever made a saturated mixture? If not, what
would be an example of one?
When there is too much solute for the solvent to dissolve. Answers will vary.
3. Can anything be a solution? Explain.
We can use solids, liquids, and gases to form a solution but not everything will dissolve into a solvent to form a
solution.

Chemicals at Home
Scientists and Chemists work hard to find substances that can help people.
Chemicals help people in many different ways. We use chemicals to clean our house,
as medication to make us feel better, and as paint to make a space stand out.

Household Cleaners
The handling of certain household cleaners needs to be done properly in
order not to harm ourselves. Certain household cleaners have powerful
chemicals that are needed to get rid of tough stains. We may need to
use gloves, eyewear, and a mask when using certain chemicals. You can
check the safety symbols on a bottle to understand how to handle the
cleaner. Never use a cleaner without parental supervision! Using a
chemical incorrectly can lead to loss of vision, burning of skin, and
chemical poisoning that could land you in the hospital!

Medication
A doctor will write a prescription for a chemical/medication for the person who
should take it. It is NEVER okay to take someone else’s prescription medicine as the
chemicals in the medicine are only designed for certain people. If a person takes
medicine that was not designed for them, it can lead to scary side effects. Always
ask a parent or guardian before taking medicine!

Paint
Using paint should be done carefully. There are chemicals like lead in certain paints
that can be very harmful for our bodies. Before using paint, read the label to
understand what chemicals are in it. Making sure you are painting in a properly
ventilated area is important to avoid getting dizzy and feeling sick.

1. How are chemicals used at home?

To clean with, paint with, and to medicate our ailments.

2. Is it okay to take someone else’s medicine? Explain why not.

It is never okay because the doctor prescribed the medicine for someone else and it could be harmful for another

person.

3. What needs to be done before using a chemical cleaner or paint?

Check the label for information regarding how to handle the chemical.

Raw Materials
Raw materials are natural materials that are can be very useful for us. In their
raw state, these materials have less use then if we process them. For example,
iron is a raw material that on its own, does not serve much of a purpose. But, if
we process iron, we can make steel and form it into beams for buildings or tools
to eat with or build with. Just remember, a raw material is something we find in
nature that is unfinished or unchanged.
