Question
Consider the following separations of materials. State whether a physical process or a chemical reaction is involved in each separation.
I. Sodium chloride is obtained from seawater by evaporation of the water.
II. Mercury is obtained by heating the substance mercury (II) oxide; oxygen is also obtained.
III. Pure water is obtained from ocean water by evaporating the water, then condensing it.
IV. Iron is produced from an iron ore that contains the substance iron (III) oxide.
V. Gold is obtained from river sand by panning (allowing the heavy metal to settle in flowing water).

- Which of the following is an illustration of the law of constanticomposition? A) Water is a compound. B Water can be separated into other substances by a chemical process. C Water and salt have different boiling points. D) Water is 11% hydrogen and 89% oxygen by mass. Water boils at 100 °C at 1 atm pressure,arrow_forwardTrue or False When a physical change occurs, a change in state occurs which indicates that a new substance has been formed.arrow_forwardIn a lab students tested two properties of four substances. The results of the tests are shown the table below. Substance Phase at room Reaction with Reaction to flame temperature water Hydrogen Colorless Gas None Explodes Potassium Silver Solid Bubbling and reaction is hot. Burns and is likely to explode Sulfur Yellow Solid None Burns slowly and turns a color Strontium chloride White Crystalline Solid Dissolves Melts Which substance and explanation proves that no chemical change took place? O A. Hydrogen because it did not react with water and will explode when exposed to a flame. O B. Potassium because it bubbles in water and will explode when exposed to a flame Type here to searcharrow_forward
- When large pieces of a purple-black crystalline solid are gently heated, a purple vapor is formed which upon cooling deposits many tiny purple-black crystals with the same hardness, density, reflectivity, etc. as the large pieces. Did this experiment study chemical changes or physical ones? Justify your answer with reasoning.arrow_forwardWe are doing an experiment on measuring the temperature. We are to measure the temperature of hot water (measure it initially, then wait for 10 minutes then measure again). Additionally, we are to measure the temperature of another water before and after putting ice (measure initially then measure 3 times [every 5 minutes] for 15 minutes). My question are: What law or principles of chemistry could be applied in this experiment? Should we expect the temperature of the hot water to drop? why? Should we expect the temperature of the water to rise or drop after putting the ice? why?arrow_forwardAt certain pressures, ClF forms a solid that sublimes when heated. Using a few words and a simple diagram, explain what is happening when ClF sublimes upon heating. Be sure your answer describes the differences in the two states of matter.arrow_forward
