Classify each of the following observations as an example of a chemical property.

• Liquid nitrogen boils at -196 °C.

• Propane, leaking from a damaged tank, ignites easily.

• Silver jewellery tarnishes (darkens) in air.

• Spilled oil generally floats on the surface of water.

• Meat darkens when it is heated on a grill.

Classify each of the following observations as an example of a chemical change.

• Air is often blended into ice cream to give it a lighter texture.

• When popping corn is heated, water inside the kernels becomes a gas and expands. This creates enough pressure to explode the kernel.

• Ethanol is used as an alternative source of energy to power vehicles.

• A loud pop is heard when a lit match is placed at the mouth of a test tube containing hydrogen gas.

• Geothermal energy from underground hot springs is used to heat water to turn turbines and produce electricity.
