Lesson 1: Physical and Chemical Changes Flashcards
(8 cards)
Physical change
changes that affect one or more physical properties of a substance
Chemical change
process when one or more substances change into an entirely new substance
Law of conservation of mass
states that in an ordinary chemical change and physical change, mass is not created nor destroyed but is only transformed into different substances
Physical changes of matter
texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, pH, and density
Chemical changes of matter
production of gas, odor, precipitation, energy, fizzing, foaming, temperature change, and color
How does temperature influence Chemical changes?
at higher temperatures the particles in a substance have more average kinetic energy, they move around more freely which causes the chemical change to go faster
Endothermic
cooling
Exothermic
warming
