of silver nitrate is added to
a solution of sodium

B. Endothermic or Exothermic Process

Substance + H2O Observations Classification

1. Hydrochloric acid
2. Ammonium Chloride
3. Potassium Chloride
4. Calcium Chloride
The accumulation of heat and Exothermic
non-condensable gas increases
temperature and pressure
the temperature decreases Endothermic
because the ammonium
chloride is pulling heat in from its
surroundings which is the water
Potassium chloride decreases Endothermic
its temperature because it
absorbs heat when it dissolves
in water.
Mixing calcium chloride with Exothermic
water releases heat which mean
, which means this two
combination substances
releases heat e which increases
its temperature

QUESTIONS/ APPLICATIONS

1. How is a physical change identified? A chemical change?

Physical change - The appearance or form of the matter changes in a physical change, but the
type of matter in the substance does not.
 Chemical change - In a chemical change, however, the type of matter changes and at least
one new substance with new properties is created.

2. Classify the following changes as to physical or chemical. Tell what change in the specific property and identify the
new substance formed, if any.

Type of Change Change in Specific property/ new

substance
a. souring of milk Chemical Change Milk souring is a chemical
change, as salinity takes place
during the process and soured
milk is formed. From fresh milk,
this sour milk has various
chemical properties. However,
heating the solution creates a
new substance with distinct
chemical properties.
b. burning of paper Chemical Change .Burning of paper is a
permanent change which cannot
be reversed. New substance like
carbon dioxide, water vapour,
smoke and ash are produced.
c. boiling of water Physical Change The water (H2O) is changing
forms and becomes water vapour
(Still H2O). After the change it is
still water therefor making this
change physical.
d. chopping of wood Physical Change When wood is cut into firewood,
this is a physical change. The
composition of the wood stays
the same.
e. adding zinc to HCl Chemical Change Zinc reacting with hydrochloric
acid produces bubbles of
hydrogen gas. All chemical
changes involve a transfer of
energy.

3. Give three (3) examples each of physical and chemical changes that are observed in the environment / respective
shops.

Physical Change Chemical Change

a. An ice cube melting into water
in your drink. Metal reaction
b. Cutting your hair Burning Wood
c. Chopping Wood Cooking an egg
4. Classify each process as endothermic or exothermic

a. Burning of gasoline Exothermic

b. Melting of ice Endothermic
c. Rubbing the hands of alcohol Endothermic
