Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.12 Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which generalization best distinguishes physical changes from chemical changes at the particle level?

APhysical changes always release energy; chemical changes always absorb energy

BPhysical changes happen only to solids; chemical changes happen only to gases

CPhysical changes create new substances; chemical changes only change size or shape

DPhysical changes alter form, phase, or distribution; chemical changes alter bonding and particle identity

Solution & Explanation:The key distinction is particle identity. Physical changes keep the same substances, while chemical changes rearrange atoms into different substances.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In a sealed container, a blue solid and a clear liquid react to form a green solution. Analysis shows products with different formulas, but total mass is unchanged. Which conclusion is best?

ANo chemical change occurred because mass did not change

BOnly a physical change occurred because the container was sealed

CA chemical change occurred, and conservation of mass still applies

DMatter was created because the solution became green

Solution & Explanation:Different product formulas show chemical change. In a sealed system, total mass remains constant because atoms are conserved.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Sucrose dissolves in tea, and later water evaporates so sucrose crystals can be recovered. Which classification is best?

AChemical change, because the crystals disappear in tea

BPhysical change, because sucrose remains sucrose through dissolving and recovery

CChemical change, because warm tea transfers energy to sucrose

DChemical property, because sweetness can be noticed outside a lab

Solution & Explanation:Dissolving and recovery indicate the sucrose's identity is maintained. Visibility and temperature do not prove a chemical reaction.
