(b) marketability,
(c) replicability,
(d) cost effectiveness,
(d) manifestation of changes in matter, and
(e) benefits to one’s health and the environment
As you proceed with the rest of the activities, always have this question in your mind,
“How can my understanding of the changes in properties of matter become
beneficial?”

FIRM UP Your Understanding
In this phase, varied learning experiences shall be introduced to help you understand
matter and equip you with skills and knowledge for you to be successful throughout
the topic. This involves acquiring scientific knowledge through varied source of
information focusing on matter, its properties and changes. This also involves
understanding or making meanings out of the scientific knowledge obtained.
Matter
Matter is a term used to describe anything that has mass and takes
up space.
States of Matter

Substances
Mixtures
Elements are pure substances that are made of only one type
of matter.
Compounds are composed of more than one type of matter. The different
substances cannot be separated without changing the
substance.
The smallest possible particle of a compound that
retains the properties of a compound is called a
molecule.
Examples:
Pure water (H2O).
Pure sucrose or sugar (C6H12O6).
Quartz (SiO2).

Examples: Trail mix (which is a mixture of raisins, peanuts, and chocolate candy m &
m's), crunchy peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies, vegetable soup, spaghetti
sauce, concrete, granite, raisin bran.
Heterogeneous mixtures that are liquid can be subdivided into two types: colloids
and suspensions.
A colloid consists of solid particles in a liquid. These particles are usually very small,
often less than 0.01 mm in diameter. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture in which
the contents do not settle over a long time. They tend to stay combined together.
Paint, orange juice, ketchup, and most salad dressings are colloids.

Chemical properties: Properties that relate to the ability of a substance to react with
other substances, or to transform from one substance to another. The chemical
properties of a substance relate to its chemical composition and the way the atoms
in the molecules are chemically bonded together.
Examples:
Iron will rust.
Methane in natural gas will react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide,
water, and heat energy.
Baking soda will react with vinegar to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Physical and Chemical Changes in Matter
Examples:
Boiling of water (liquid water, ice and
steam are just the liquid, solid and gas
forms of H2O)
Freezing of water to form ice
Chewing of food
Sharpening of a pencil
Crystallization of sugar from a sugar solution
Melting of gold
Activity 1.5
Materials needed:
ice
two glasses
sugar
old newspaper
clay
A. Crumple the old newspaper and then cut it into small pieces.
Is the crumpled paper still the old newspaper? ______________________
Did you change the composition of the newspaper when you cut it into pieces?
____________________________________________________
Did you change the composition of the clay when you molded it into different
shapes?
_____________________________________________
C. Put some ice in a clean glass. Examine it every 3 minutes for half an hour.
11
As you have noticed, the following changes have happened in the different parts of
the activity:
(A) There was a change in the size and shape of the old newspaper.
(B) There was a change in the size and shape of the clay.
(C) There was a change in the phase of matter. From solid, it turned into liquid.
(D) There was change in the phase of salt. From solid, it dissolved into a liquid
solution.
Thus, the observations suggest that changes in matter described in the activity are
all physical changes.
Remember also that all phase changes are just physical changes. It therefore
follows that the processes of evaporation, condensation, melting, sublimation,
freezing and deposition are just physical changes.
Examples:
Digestion of food
Combustibility = The ability to react with oxygen (e.g., burning a candle or a
match, burning of fuel). Methane reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide
and water
Electrolysis of water (breaking up water into hydrogen and oxygen)
Reactivity = The ability to be changed chemically because of a reaction with
another chemical substance, such as the development of a gas (e.g., from the
reaction of vinegar and baking soda)
Formation of a precipitate (e.g., silver nitrate and salt water, or cooling a
solution of sodium nitrate and water)
Change in color (such as burning toast, or reaction of bleaching agent to
colored cloth, or cooking of an egg)
Oxidation (or rusting) of steel wool in water

Activity 1.6
Materials needed:
vinegar
baking soda
match
piece of paper (a small one!)
glass
spoon
A. Half fill the glass with vinegar. Then, place one tablespoon of baking soda.
Describe what happens when vinegar was mixed with baking soda.
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
B. Burn the small piece of paper. Note: Do this outside your house and in an open
space.
In Part A, vinegar did not dissolve the baking soda. There was actually a chemical
change that happened between the two that resulted to the formation of some new
substances. One of the substances is carbon dioxide gas. Notice that the
composition of carbon dioxide is not the same as vinegar and baking soda. This
indicates that the change resulted to a change in the composition and, as such, it
could be identified as a chemical change.
How do we know that carbon dioxide is produced? Did you observe the formation of
bubbles? The bubbles indicate that a gas is being evolved. Evolution of gas is one of
the signs or evidences of a chemical change.
Part B involves burning of paper. Notice that, after burning, you no longer have the
paper. What you have are ashes! Is the composition of ashes the same as paper?
No, they are not the same! Thus, burning of paper is a chemical change. Other
evidences of chemical change include the production of heat and light, and these
are observed in the burning of paper.
