WITHOUT changing the nature (make-up) of the
substance

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: COPPER
What are some physical properties of the copper
strip?
 How can we physically change the copper strip?

CHEMICALPROPERTY
characteristics of matter that can be observed
only when there is a change in the composition of
a substance.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: COPPER
What do you notice about the second copper
strip?
 Is it still copper?


Yes and no!
It is copper that has reacted with weak acids
and is now covered with copper chloride and
copper sulfate
 Reactivity with an acid is a CHEMICAL
PROPERTY.
 In order to witness copper’s REACTIVITY
WITH AN ACID, the chemical makeup of
the copper had to be changed.


No longer just a copper sheet!
DENSITY
the amount of matter (mass) in a given unit
volume.
VISCOSITY
Viscosity refers to the resistance to flow of a fluid
(“thickness”)
VISCOSITY VS. DENSITY?!

I have oil and water…

How can I determine which is denser?
Does this mean that the water is also more
viscous?
 Let’s have a race!



Two volunteers, 20 mL of each liquid, a funnel and a
flask will be needed to complete this race.
What is the difference between viscosity and
density?
