ACTIVITY 04 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

WEEK 01

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

ANSWERS

1. Can a physical change occur even if there is no chemical change? And

vice versa?

Yes, because Physical changes involve moving molecules around, but not
changing them. Some types of physical changes include: Changes of state (changes
from a solid to a liquid or a gas and vice versa).

2. Is it possible that two things that have identical physical properties will
have different chemical properties? Give an example.

No, but Other properties, such as density, can be used to identify substances.
They do not vary from one sample of the same substance to another. However, it is
possible for two different substances to have the same density.

Examples of physical properties like density, color, hardness, melting and

boiling points, and electrical conductivity are some physical properties, such as
density and color, without changing the physical state of the matter observed.
 3. In any reaction, which is more reliable to give accurate measurements,
physical or chemical properties.

I think physical properties can be used in accurate measurements

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or
measured without changing the identity of the substance. Physical properties include
color, density, hardness, and melting and boiling points.

4. What is the difference between elements and compounds? Give

example of each

Elements is a pure substance consisting only of atoms that all have the same
numbers of protons in their atomic nuclei. Unlike chemical compounds, chemical
elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means while
Compound or Chemical compound, any substance composed of identical molecules
consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements. The fundamental principle of
the science of chemistry is that the atoms of different elements can combine with
one another to form chemical compounds.

Example of elements
Common examples include

● carbon
● sulfur
● oxygen
● iron
● copper
● aluminium.

Example of compounds
Compounds Examples

● Water - Formula: H2O = Hydrogen2 + Oxygen. ...

● Hydrogen Peroxide - Formula: H2O2 = Hydrogen2 + Oxygen2 ...
● Salt - Formula: NaCl = Sodium + Chlorine. ...
● Baking Soda - Formula: NaHCO3 = Sodium + Hydrogen + Carbon + Oxygen3
● Octane - Formula: C8H18 = Carbons 8 + Hydrogen18

5. How do a molecule and a compound differ?

MOLECULE

● Molecules are the smallest units of a compound that retains the

characteristics of the compound. And also the smallest particle of a substance
 that retains the chemical. A group of like or different atoms held together by
chemical forces.
● A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.

COMPOUND

● A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined

together in a fixed ratio. A compound is represented using a formula and lastly
the list of compounds is endless.
● A compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of
elements which are united chemically in a fixed proportion.

6. Are all compounds can be molecules? How about vice versa? Why or
why not?

All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. That is
because a molecule can be made up of two atoms of the same kind, as when two
oxygen atoms bind together to make an oxygen molecule. However, all compounds
are made up of two or more different types of atoms.

7. Does the physical appearance of the product affect its chemical quality?
How about vice versa?

Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance,

but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures
into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate
compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds.

8. When can each method be used in separating the components of a

mixture?

A mixture is composed of two or more types of matter that can be present in

varying amounts and can be physically separated by using methods that use
physical properties to separate the components of the mixture, such as evaporation,
distillation, filtration and chromatography.

1. Distillation.

If two substances have different boiling points and are mixed together, you can boil
them and the one with the lower boiling point will evaporate out.

2. Chromatography .

If you've ever done the experiments where you draw colored dots on a paper towel
and dip it in water, this is that. Chromatography is when a substance is carried away
(through the towel in this case) or spread around by the absorption of water. You can
also think of a spill on a rug.

3. Crystallization.

For a supersaturated solution, you can choose to let the solute crystallize out.
Example: Rock candy (sugar solution)

4. Filtration/decanting.

Sort them out by particle size using a selective membrane such as filter paper.

The video below shows how filtration can be used to separate calcium carbonate
(chalk) from water.
