Discussion: What’s New?
Physical or chemical change?
What is true about the kinds of matter
present before and after a physical
change?
How is matter different?
What substances were formed when the
paper burned?
What is true about the types of matter
present before and after the matter
undergoes a chemical change
What substances were formed when the
paper burned?
Would it be possible to change these types
of matter back into a sheet of paper?

Change of Appearance
Physical Changes
• A physical change is a change
that affects one or more physical
properties of a substance.
• The appearance, shape, or size
of a substance may be altered
during a physical change.
• Physical changes, such as
changes in state, do not change
the chemical identity of a
substance.

5) Physical properties of the substance are changed.

7) Yarn was twisted, dyed, and knit to form sweater – it’s still wool.

Change of Appearance Chemical Changes

• A chemical change is the
process when one or more
substances change into entirely
new substances with different
properties.
• A substance’s identity
changes because the
chemical makeup changes.
• Bonds get rearranged
and/or new bonds form.
• Influenced by temperature: At
higher temperatures, chemical
reactions happen more quickly
 P38-39
8) Smart
A. Flames Activity

B. wood
9) Raising temp causes
C. Ashes particles in matter to
move more quickly.
Increased motion causes
particles to bump into
8) Burning wood is an
each other which
example of a increases the rate of the
chemical change in chemical reaction
which wood is
transformed into new
substances, such as
ash and smoke Let’s go to lab

Look for the Signs

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?

• There are several signs that a chemical reaction

has occurred.

• Observing two or more of these signs during a

change means you are likely observing a chemical
change.

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?

• Odors can be produced during a

chemical change.

• Fizzing and foaming may mean

gases are being produced.

• The production of gas is often

evidence of a chemical change.

•Boiling also can produce gas bubbles,

but boiling is a physical change.

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?

• A precipitate is a solid formed from

liquids.

• The formation of a precipitate can

indicate a chemical change.

• Energy that changes from one form

to another can be evidence of a
chemical change.

• Changes in temperature and

color can be signs of a chemical
change.

Conservation Is the Law

What is the law of conservation of mass?
• French chemist Antoine Lavoisier studied chemical
changes in which substances appeared to gain or lose
mass.

• The law of conservation of mass states that in

ordinary chemical and physical changes, mass is not
created or destroyed. It is only transformed into
different substances.

What is the law of conservation of mass?

• Physical changes are reversible and follow the law
of conservation of mass.

• Mass is conserved during chemical changes. The

mass of the starting materials is the same as the
mass of the end products.
