Warm-Ups

Classify the following as either a physical or chemical property or change. Write the letter P by physical properties and C by chemical properties.
• Oxygen gas supports combustion, accompanied by flames
• Hydrogen gas has the potential to ignite and explode.
• Water boils below 100°C on top of a mountain.
• Lead is denser than aluminum.
• Salt dissolves in water.
• Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid and produces bubbles.
• A plastic bottle is buoyant in water.
• Two solutions are mixed together and produce a precipitate.
• A piece of rock is crushed into smaller pieces.
• A leaf changes color.

Physical Properties can either be classified as extensive or intensive.
Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance, where intensive properties do not depend on the amount of substance. Place an (E) by the extensive properties and an (I) by the intensive properties.

• Length
• Density
• Volume
• Height
• Weight
• Buoyancy

Pure Substances have a constant composition and consistent properties. Mixtures have variable composition and inconsistent properties. Pure substances tend to be separated chemically while mixtures can be separated physically. Label Pure Substances with (PS) and Mixtures with (M).

Which of these describes a pollution producing process that involves only a physical change?
A. Coal with high sulfur content is burned, producing gases that cause acid rain.
B. Chlorofluorocarbons are released, changing ozone in the upper atmosphere into oxygen.
C. Hot wastewater is discharged into a lake, lowering oxygen levels in the water
D.Nitrogen oxide emissions combine with water vapor, producing nitric acid
Which of the following statements describes a difference between a mixture and a pure substance?
A. A mixture needs to be homogenous, while a pure substance tends to be heterogeneous.
B. A mixture has a specific melting point, while the melting point of a pure substance varies.
C. The density of a mixture cannot change with temperature, but the density of a pure substance can change.
D.The composition of a mixture can vary from sample to sample, but the composition of a pure substance is always the same.
