Instruction : Determine whether the given scenario is a physical change or a chemical change. Then
provide evidence/s for each. 20 pts
SCENARIO PHYSICAL or CHEMICAL EVIDENCE/S
CHANGE
1. A student removes a
loaf of bread hot from PHYSICAL CHANGE THE HOTNESS FROM THE
the oven. He cuts a slice BREAD CAUSES BUTTER TO
off the loaf and spread MELT. THE BUTTER HASN’T
butter on it. CHANGE AND IT BELONGS TO
PHYSICAL CHANGE.
2. Your friend decides to CHEMICAL CHANGE THE BREAD CHANGES COLOR

toaster too long. The THERE IS A CHANGE IN COLOR
bread is black now & OF THE BREAD THAT CAUSES
the kitchen is full of SMOKE (OVERHEAT).
smoke. THEREFORE, A CHEMICAL
CHANGE.
3. You left a bread knife in CHEMICAL CHANGE THE BREAD KNIFE STAYS
the bottom of the sink LONGER IN THE WATER AND
after using it & reddish THE REDDISH BROWN SPOTS
brown spots appear on ARE THE “RUST” FORMED BY
it. THE WATER, IT CAUSES
CHEMICAL REACTION WHERE
THE APPERANCEOF BREAD
KNIFE BECAME RUSTY.
4. When baking biscuits CHEMICAL CHANGE THE BAKING SODA RELEASES
the baking soda CARBON DIOXIDE AND IT
releases carbon dioxide AFFECTS THE OTHER
& causes the dough to INGREDIENTS LIKE FLOUR,
rise. BAKING SODA AND FLOUR ARE
MIXED AND IT BECAME DOUGH
AND THE DOUGH RISES
BECAUSE OF THE RELEASE
CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE
BAKING SODA THEREFORE I
CONCLUDE THIS IS
CHEMICALCHANGE.
5. You take out your best CHEMICAL CHANGE THE SILVER SPOONS ARE
set of silver spoons & MADEOF STAINLESS STEEL, THE
notice that they are AFFECT OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE
very dull & have some IN THE AIR MAKES THE SILVER
black spots. SPOON TO TARNISH, TARNISH IS
CHEMICAL CHANGE.
6. A straight piece of wire THE PIECE OF WIRE IS COILED
is coiled to form a PHYSICAL CHANGE TO FORM A SPRING, THERE IS
spring. NO CHANGES THAT AFFECTS
THE APPERANCE OF WIRE. EVEN
THE PIECE OF WIRE IS STRAIGHT
AND SPRING, IT IS STILL A WIRE.
THEREFORE, IT’S A PHYSICAL
CHANGE.
7. A few drops of food THE FOOD COLOR AND WATER
coloring is added to a PHYSICAL CHANGE IS COMBINED, THERE IS NO
cup of water to give it CHEMICAL REACTION SINCE THE
color. WATER AND FOOD COLOR IS A
LIQUID (THE FOOD COLOR IS
LIQUID AND THE WATER IS
LIQUID) THERE’S NO CHANGE,
THEY ARE STILL LIQUID.
THEREFORE, I CONCLUDE IT IS
PHYSICAL CHANGE.
8. Chewing French fries to CHEWING FRENCH FRIES INTO
break them into smaller PHYSICAL CHANGE SMALLER PIECES IS A PHYSICAL
pieces. CHANGE BECAUSE THERE IS NO
CHANGES IN FRENCH FRIES IT IS
JUST TURNED INTO SMALLER
PIECES.
9. Enzymes in the CHEMICAL CHANGE ENZYMES BREAKS DOWN THE
digestive system break FRENCH FRIES BECAUSE OF THE
down the French fries. BILE IN GALLBLADDER THAT
PRODUCES ACIDS. THE ACID IN
BILE CREATES REACTION TO THE
FOOD (FRENCH FRIES)
THEREFORE, IT IS CHEMICAL
CHANGE.
10. A solid freshener is THE SOLID FRESHENER BECAME

dry. BECAUSE THERE IS NO CHANGE
IN THE SUBSTANCE.
