GROUP 3 - Physical vs. Chemical

WORKSHEET: PHYSICAL VS.
CHEMICAL
Procedure A (Oobleck)
● In this experiment, the results showed physical change. Because physical change occurs
when there is change in color, texture, size and shape, and all of those were observed
when we conducted the experiment. An oobleck is a fluid that changes viscosity when
under stress, although it might look like a new substance is created because when you add
force to it, it solidifies. There is no new substance created because it is actually the shape
of the cornstarch particles that makes it behave in that way when mixed with water.

Procedure B (Clean a Penny)

● In this experiment where we used vinegar and salt to clean pennies, a chemical change
happened. The acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the copper oxide (the brownish
around your penny caused by oxygen when combined with copper) and dissolves it.
Moreover, when the salt and vinegar are combined, they form a very small amount of
hydrochloric acid. This acid removes oxidation from pennies. The process of removing
the copper oxide is a chemical change as the color change indicates that a new chemical
substance has been produced. Despite the change in physical appearance of the penny,
this experiment is considered a chemical change because it takes a chemical reaction to
wash the copper oxide off the penny.

Procedure C (Ice Cream)
● Both physical and chemical changes take place during the ice cream-making process in
the Ziplock bags. The ice and salt mixture melts as the bags are shaken, absorbing heat
from the cream mixture, which then freezes and solidifies. This is a physical shift because
there are no chemical reactions involved in the ice cream's transition from a liquid to a
solid state. The freezing process, which breaks down and rearranges the sugar molecules,
also affects the chemical composition of the cream mixture when sugar and vanilla
extract are added. This chemical change gives the ice cream its sweet flavor and creamy
texture.

Procedure D (Elephant Toothpaste)
● In this experiment, the result shows that the changes that occurred in the Elephant’s
Toothpaste experiment is chemical change. Adding yeast to hydrogen peroxide causes
a reaction in which the hydrogen peroxide breaks apart to form oxygen gas and water.
With dish soap involved, the gas created by yeast and hydrogen peroxide gets trapped
and creates a foamy soapy goo that's present in the photo.

REFLECTION PAPER
INSTRUCTION: In not less than 5 sentences, answer the questions below.
1. Differentiate physical and chemical change. Give some examples of physical and
chemical properties.
● The difference between physical and chemical change is that Physical
changes result in a change in the substance's shape or appearance but not in
the type of matter present. The example of Physical properties is lighting a
candle for an hour will cause it to melt. And 24 hours of water in the
freezer. Chemical change is the transformation of one material into another,
the creation of new materials with distinct properties, and the formation of
one or more new substances. The example of Chemical properties is mixing
substances to make a medicine is one of the properties which is reactivity,
and also chlorine gas is one the properties which is toxicity.
2. What is a chemical reaction? How can you tell if a chemical reaction has taken
place?
● A process in which one or more substances, referred to collectively as the
reactants, are converted into one or more distinct substances, referred to
collectively as the products. Chemical reactions involve the breaking of
chemical bonds between the particles that make up the reactant molecules
and the formation of new bonds between the atoms that make up the
product molecules. Although there will be the same total number of atoms
both before and after the chemical reaction, the number of molecules will
shift significantly. When one or more of the following things occur, we are
able to determine whether or not a chemical reaction has taken place: The
contents of the reaction flask have taken on a different hue inside, there is
now a gas present, the manufacturing of a brand-new substance, Alteration
in state, sudden change in temperature, and the early signs of precipitation
all happen concurrently.
3. What causes matter to react differently from one another?

● If you take away energy from matter or add energy to it, the physical state
of the matter will change, which is something that you can think of as a
transition. Alterations to one's physical state can also be brought about by
motion and pressure. The state of matter constantly shifts as it moves
through the various cycles that matter goes through while the phase by
which these changes occur are called change phases. When energy is added
to matter, the atoms and molecules in the matter gain the ability to fight
against some of the forces that are holding them together. This gives the
atoms and molecules more freedom to move about within the matter. In a
similar manner, when you bring liquid water to its freezing point, you give
its molecules enough energy to prevent them from touching each other and
the transformation from liquid water to gaseous water takes place during
the evaporation of still-wet water.
