Discover the differences between physical and chemical changes in matter. Learn about states of matter, separation techniques, heating curves, and energy changes. Explore examples of both types of changes with this comprehensive guide.
E N D
Physical Changes • In a physical change, the original substance still exists. It has only changed form. • Energy changes usually do not accompany physical changes, except in phase changes and when substances dissolve.
Physical Changes • Includes all changes of state (physical changes of a substance from one state to another)
Solid • definite volume • definite shape • atoms are packed together in fixed positions • strong attractive forces between the atoms • only vibrate in place
Liquid • definite volume • indefinite shape • atoms are close together • atoms can overcome attractive forces to flow
Gases • indefinite volume • indefinite shape • atoms move very quickly • atoms are far apart • pretty weak attractive forces
Plasma • high temperature state in which atoms lose their electrons • Ex. the sun
Physical Changes: Separation Techniques • Filtration- solid part is trapped by filter paper and the liquid part runs through the paper • Vaporization- where the liquid portion is evaporated off to leave solid
Physical Changes: Separation Techniques • Decanting- when liquid is poured off after solid has settled to bottom • Centrifuge- machine that spins a sample very quickly so that components with different densities will separate
Physical Change: Separation Techniques • Paper Chromatography- used to separate mixtures because different parts move quicker on paper than other
Physical Change: Boiling of Water Physical Change:
Chemical Changes • In a chemical change, a new substance is produced. • Energy changes always accompany chemical changes.
Chemical Changes in Matter • same as chemical reaction • doesn’t change the amount of matter present (Conservation of Mass) • reactants- substances that react • products- substances that form
Energy Changes in Matter • when any chemical change occurs, energy is always involved • energy can be in different forms (light, heat, etc.) • energy is never destroyed or created (law of conservation of energy)
Energy Changes in Matter • Exothermic Reaction- reaction that gives off energy (feels warm on outside) • Endothermic Reaction- reaction that uses up energy (feels cold on outside)
