a)
A physical change is a transformation that changes neither the ________________________ nor the characteristic properties of matter. No new ________________________ is produced.
substances
colour
b)
A chemical change is a transformation that changes the ________________________ and characteristic properties of matter. New ________________________ are produced. The following signs indicate that a chemical change has occurred:
There is a change in ________________________.
energy
There is a change in temperature.
gas
A large amount of ________________________ is released or absorbed.
solid
A ________________________ is emitted.
A ________________________ is formed when two liquids are mixed together.
The change is usually irreversible.
matter
always
matter
c) According to the law of conservation of matter, in all changes, whether physical or chemical, the amount of _______________________ ________________________ remains the same.
The mass of ________________________ does not change.
solute
solvent
d) Dissolution is the process of preparing a solution by mixing a ________________________
in a ________________________.
chemical
oxygen
oxygen
e) Oxidation is a ________________________ change involving ________________________ or a substance with properties similar to those of ________________________.
molecule
atoms
molecules
atoms
f) Synthesis is the formation of a complex ____________________ from ____________________ or simpler molecules. Decomposition is the transformation of complex ________________________ into simpler molecules or into ________________________.
sugars
water
chlorophyll
combustion
g) Photosynthesis is the process by which producers use solar energy to make their food (________________________) from carbon dioxide and ________________________. This process takes place in cells that contain ________________________. Cellular respiration is the opposite reaction to photosynthesis. It is the process by which living cells produce energy through the ________________________ of complex nutrients.
solid
h) Precipitation is the formation of an insoluble, or only slightly soluble, ____________________ substance, called a precipitate. Precipitation may occur when two solutions are combined.
2. Are the following phenomena physical or chemical changes? Check the appropriate column.


Physical change
Chemical change
a)
A burning forest

b)
Snow melting in the spring

c)
The moulding of plastic

d)
Photosynthesis in plants

3. Various signs indicate that a chemical change has occurred or is occurring. What signs could you observe in each of the following chemical changes?
Change in colour and irreversible change
a) Rust appears on an object.



Formation of a solid and irreversible change
b) When you mix vinegar with milk, a white solid forms.



  1. W
    Change in temperature, release of a large amount of energy and emission of a gas
    hen you recharge a car battery, an explosive gas (hydrogen) is formed, and the battery becomes hot.

.
The following are steps you might take in lab procedures. Check the actions that produce a chemical change.
a) You distill alcohol.
b) You melt ice.
c) You burn wooden splints.
d) You mix a blue liquid with a yellow liquid, and the mixture turns green.
e) You mix two liquids, and a precipitate forms.
f) You mix two liquids, and the mixture gives off a large amount of heat.
