Luna, Oliver, and Abigail are in a science class. They are studying a sample of a liquid. They observe that the liquid is blue and bubbly. They combine the sample with vinegar. The color of the liquid changed and it stopped bubbling. Based on this information, which of the following is a correct conclusion?
The sample liquid did not change.
The sample liquid has chemically changed.
The sample liquid has physically changed.
Determine whether a Physical Change or Chemical Change has occurred.
Changes in the State of Matter
A new substance is created
Match the vocabulary word to the correct definition.
Properties that can be measured only by chemically changing an object.
Physical Change
A change that is easily reversed and does not result in a new substance being created.
Physical Property
Properties that are measurable and can be seen (ex. Color, hardness, area, length, strength,
and temperature)
Chemical Change
A permanent change that cannot be reversed and results in a creation of a new substance.
Chemical Property
Something that contains two or more substances that are not combined chemically.
Mixture
Match the vocabulary word with the correct definition.
The state of matter that has no definite shape and take the shape of their container. (ex. water vapor)
States of Matter
The state of matter that has a definite
shape and volume. Their shape and volume cannot be easily changed. (ex. ice)
Liquid
The state of
matter that has a definite volume but no fixed shape (ex. water)
Solid
Anything that has mass and takes up space. It cannot be created nor destroyed.
Gas
The different forms in which matter can be found
Matter
During a science fair, Aiden presented a reaction where baking soda reacts with vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas. What kind of change does this reaction represent?
Physical change
Chemical change
State change
Reversible change
Mrs. Seals' class is doing their science classwork and needs to classify the process of water boiling into steam.
Sophia determines boiling water is a chemical change because boiling water creates steam, which is a new substance. Landon disagrees with Sophia and says boiling water is a physical change because it is a change in the state of matter.
Who is correct and why?
Sophia is correct because the change is creating a new substance.
Landon is correct because a change in the state of matter is always a physical change.
Sophia is correct because by creating steam, the change is irreversible.
Landon is correct because a change in the state of matter occurred, but is a chemical change.
Neither Sophia or Landon are correct because water cannot undergo a physical or chemical change.
In their science class, Mia and Noah are discussing the process of rusting iron. Mia believes that rusting is a physical change because the iron changes its appearance. Noah, however, argues that rusting is a chemical change because a new substance, rust, is formed. Who is correct and why?
Mia is correct because the change in appearance indicates a physical change.
Noah is correct because the formation of a new substance indicates a chemical change.
Mia is correct because rusting can be reversed, indicating a physical change.
Noah is correct because rusting cannot be reversed, indicating a chemical change.
Both Mia and Noah are incorrect because rusting is neither a physical nor a chemical change.
