Answer the following in a clear and direct manner. Do not plagiarize.

1. (10 pts.) Discuss 3 importance/uses of

a) physical properties - Matter’s physical properties will help us describe and observe
matter, like its color, size, and shape. Through these properties, we can distinguish
substances from one another. Knowing a matter’s physical properties will also help us
know the proper storage of the substance since substances have different capabilities of
storing heat.

b) chemical properties - Knowing a substance’s chemical properties can help in

building chemical classification. These will help us identify what other substance will
have a chemical reaction with or its reactivity. It is also important to know the hazards a
substance can bring, like its flammability and toxicity.

2. (10 pts.) Give 3 instances in your daily life where chemical and physical changes
in matter are involved.

● Eating and digesting food every day involves chemical change. Chemical
digestion breaks down different nutrients like carbohydrates and proteins, which
then becomes a smaller part, and then absorbed by our cells.
● Drinking iced coffee or any iced drinks. As time goes by, due to the temperature,
the ice cubes slowly melt solid and turn to liquid.
● Cooking food. When cooking raw meat, its composition changes and cannot be
undone, therefore indicating a chemical change.
