  • 2. 

    Classify each of the following as a chemical change

    • Melting butter

    • Bleaching hair

    • Getting permanent that curls your hair

    • Dissolving road grease on your car with a commercial solvent

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Bleaching hair
    A. Getting permanent that curls your hair
    A. Dissolving road grease on your car with a commercial solvent
    Explanation
    Melting butter is a physical change because it involves a change in state from solid to liquid without any change in the chemical composition of the butter. Bleaching hair is a chemical change because it involves the use of chemicals to alter the color of the hair. Getting a permanent that curls your hair is also a chemical change as it involves the use of chemicals to permanently change the structure of the hair. Dissolving road grease on your car with a commercial solvent is a physical change as it involves the dissolution of the grease in the solvent without any change in the chemical composition of the grease.

  • 3. 

    Classify as an intensive property of matter

    • Density

    • Boiling Point

    • Color

    • The mass of a substance

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Density
    A. Boiling Point
    A. The mass of a substance
    Explanation
    The given options can be classified as intensive properties of matter because they do not depend on the amount or size of the substance. Density is the mass per unit volume, which remains constant regardless of the amount of the substance. Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, and it is a characteristic property of the substance. The mass of a substance is also an intensive property as it remains the same regardless of the amount of the substance.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Check as an extensive property of matter

    • Density

    • The volume of a Mug

    • The number of calories when you consume 10 g of sugar

    • Your T shirt size

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The volume of a Mug
    A. Your T shirt size
    Explanation
    The volume of a mug and your T-shirt size are examples of extensive properties of matter. Extensive properties are dependent on the amount or size of the substance being considered. In this case, the volume of a mug will vary depending on the size of the mug, and your T-shirt size will vary depending on your body size. These properties cannot be determined without considering the specific quantity or size of the matter being measured. On the other hand, density and the number of calories when consuming sugar are examples of intensive properties, which do not depend on the amount or size of the substance.
