One involved chemical change while the other involved physical change.
5

Which real-world scenarios below represent physical changes? Check all that apply.

A
running a car engine
B
exploding fireworks
C
mixing water and powdered drink mix
D
combining oil and vinegar to make salad dressing
E

Another real-world example of a change is rust. Rust is iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), which results when iron is exposed to oxygen and water. What are some indicators of rusting? Check all that apply.

A
production of light
B
color change

Based on the results of this lab, write a short paragraph that summarizes how to distinguish physical changes from chemical changes.

Answer:

Physical changes alter a substance’s form, size, or state without changing its identity, so the original material can often be recovered. Chemical changes produce one or more new substances. Evidence of a chemical change may include the formation of a gas, solid, light, or heat.
