SAQ 1.1. Describe each process as a physical change or a chemical change. ANSWERS must be written in
complete sentence/s.
1. Water in the air turns into snow.
- When water is thrown into the air, it begins to evaporate and produce water vapor. We witness the
vapor swiftly transform back to a solid in the form of a very fine kind of snow due to how quickly the
water particles cool off and the fact that cold air cannot carry huge volumes of water vapor.

2. A person’s hair is cut.

- When a substance is transformed in some way but remains the same, it is called a physical change. It
hasn't been chemically altered. When you cut your hair, for example, it is still your hair; only a portion of
it has been taken.
3. Bread dough becomes fresh bread in an oven.

- The alcohol evaporates during the baking process, and the contained carbon dioxide causes the
dough to rise. This is an irreversible chemical change since the yeast has formed new substances
(carbon dioxide and ethanol) as a result of digesting the sugar, and the reaction cannot be reversed.
SAQ 1.2.
A. Identify whether the following is an element, a compound, or a mixture. If it is a mixture, further classify it as
homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.
1. Brass- Homogeneous mixture 6. calcium carbonate -Compound
2. gypsum - Element 7. rubbing alcohol – homogeneous mixture
3. sulfur -Element 8. fruit jams - homogeneous mixture
4. soap suds -Compound 9. sugar -Compound
5. soda – Heterogeneous mixture 10. smoke -compounds

B. Chemistry, Properties, and Change

1. With what four aspects of matter is the science of chemistry concerned?
-

2. How do chemical properties of matter differ from physical properties? Give two examples of each.

- A physical property of a material is a trait that can be viewed or measured without affecting the
substance's identity. The example of Physical properties is color and density. A chemical property to
undergo a specific chemical transformation is described by its chemical property. Examples of chemical
properties include flammability, toxicity

3. Which of the following represent physical properties and which represent chemical properties?
a. Iron rusts. =Chemical properties
b. Naphthalene smells like mothballs. = Chemical properties
c. Potassium permanganate is purple. =Physical Properties
d. The density of gold is 19.3 grams per milliliter. = Physical Properties
e. Silver tarnishes. = Chemical properties
f. Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water. = Physical Properties

4.What is meant in chemistry by the term physical change? Give 3 examples of physical changes.

- Physical changes alter a chemical substance's appearance but not its chemical content. Examples of
physical properties include melting, transition to a gas,and change of strength.

5. What is meant in chemistry by the term chemical change? Give 3 examples of chemical changes.

- A chemical change occurs when matter changes forms but not its chemical identity, whereas a physical
change occurs when matter changes forms but not its chemical identity. Examples of chemical changes
are burning, cooking, and rusting

6. Consider the change that occurs in each of the following. Tell whether it is a physical change
or a chemical change and why.
a. Sodium, a silvery metal, changes to a white solid in the presence of chlorine, a yellow-green gas.
-Chemical change because of the chlorine that is made out of acid so that sodium changes to white
solid.

b. A few crystals of sugar dissolve in the water in a laboratory beaker.

- Dissolving sugar in water is an example of a physical change. Why because A chemical change produces new
chemical products.

Name: Grade & Section:

c. Alcohol, a liquid, changes to a vapor when heated.

-Physical change because the appearance of the substance change because the water vapor still has
the same molecular structure as a liquid water.

7. Which of the following represent a chemical change and which represent a physical change?
a. Water is converted to steam by boiling. Physical change

b. Carbon, a black powder, is converted to a colorless gas when reacted with oxygen. Chemical change

c. Salt completely dissolves in water to form a solution that looks like ordinary water. Physical change

d. When the chemical mercury oxide is heated in a test tube, a silvery substance condenses near the top of the
test tube. Physical change

e. When acetic acid is cooled below 16.7°C (62°F), it is changed to a solid. Physical change

8. SAQ 1.3 Physical or chemical change? SAQ 1.4 Tell whether each of the following is an
element, a compound, or a mixture.

1. physical change compound a. Water

2. physical change mixture b. A multicolored rock
3. physical change mixture c. A sample of stainless steel
4. chemical change compound d. CO2
5. physical change element e. Bromine
6. chemical change mixture f. A solution of sugar in water
7. physical change element g. Fe

A 8. Ferric chloride
C 9. Consists of two or more substances that are physically mixed,
but you cannot tell this by looking at it.
A 10. This has a formula rather than a symbol.

10. What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?

- A compound is made up of two or more components that are chemically bonded together, whereas a mixture is

11. If compounds contain more than one element, why do we classify them as pure substances rather than as
mixtures?
-We define them as pure substances rather than mixtures because, in combination, a compound might
have varied properties depending on the ingredients that make it up, whereas mixtures lose their
individual properties.

12. When two elements come together and chemically combine,

a. What happens to their properties?
- Individual qualities of elements are lost when they combine to produce compounds. When elements
are blended to produce a mixture, they maintain some of their properties..

b. What happens to their identities?

- The individual chemicals' identities are preserved..

c. What happens to their atoms?

- There occurs the creation of new substances. Chemical bonds form between the atoms of two
elements when they are chemically mixed, and the result is known as a chemical compound..

13. What is the meaning of the subscript 2 to the right of the H and the lack of a subscript to the right of the
O in the formula for water?
- The number of atoms of the elements directly to the left of each subscript in the formula is
represented by the subscript 2, and there is only one atom of that element in the modecule to the
right of the 0 in the expression.

14. For each of the following formulas of compounds, indicate what elements (their names, not symbols)
are present in the compound and also tell how many atoms of each element are present in one formula unit
or molecule of the compound.
Example: NaNO3 = sodium, 1 atom; nitrogen, 1 atom; oxygen, 3 atoms
a. Na3PO4 =sodium, 3 atoms:phosphorus,1 atom:oxygen,4 atoms
b. CCl4 =carbon,1 atom:chlorine, 4 atoms
c. Al2(SO4)3 =aluminum,2 atoms: sulfur,3 atoms: Oxygen, 12 atoms
d. (NH4)2CO3 =nitrogen,2 atoms:hydrogen,8 atoms:carbon,1 atom:oxygen,3 atoms
e. Ba(OH)2 =barium,1atom:oxygen,2 atoms: hydrogen,2 atoms

15. Define each of the following terms.

a. Atom- It is the most basic structural unit of all matter, as well as the most basic unit of an element..

b. Molecule- a bound group of atoms that represents the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical molecule
capable of participating in a chemical reaction.

c. Ion- an atom or a collection of atoms that is electrically charged.

16. State whether each of the following represents an atom, molecule, or ion.
a. Se d. C6H6 =molecule
=Atom
e. Pb =atom
b. CCl 4
f. Br2 =
=Molec
molecule
ule
c. HCO-3
=ion

17. What is a formula unit? How is it used in chemistry?

- In chemistry, a formula unit is the empirical formula of any ionic or covalent network compound that is
utilized as a separate entity in stoichiometric calculations..
18. What is the difference between an atom and a molecule?

- Atoms are single neutral particles, whereas molecules are neutral particles formed by the binding of
two or more atoms.
V. Evaluate.
