S1.1.2 Physical and chemical changes
Summary
TLDRThis video explores the distinction between physical and chemical changes. Physical changes, such as melting ice, evaporation, and sublimation, involve no new substances but merely a change in state. In contrast, chemical changes, exemplified by the combustion of methane, result in the formation of new substances through the rearrangement of atoms. The script emphasizes the law of conservation of mass, highlighting that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions, but are reorganized to create new products.
Takeaways
- đ Physical changes involve no new substances being produced; they are changes in the state of matter.
- âïž The melting of ice is a physical change where solid water turns into liquid water without creating a new substance.
- đ§ Evaporation and sublimation are examples of physical changes where a substance changes from liquid to gas or solid to gas, respectively.
- đĄïž In evaporation, bromine changes from liquid to gas, and in sublimation, iodine changes from solid to gas, both without new substances being formed.
- đ§Ș Chemical changes result in the formation of new chemical substances through chemical reactions.
- đ„ An example of a chemical change is the combustion of methane, which reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
- đ The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
- đ In a chemical reaction, the atoms of the reactants are rearranged to form new products, such as carbon from methane becoming part of carbon dioxide.
- đ The oxygen atoms that were part of the oxygen molecules are now part of the new molecules formed in the reaction.
- đŹ The distinction between physical and chemical changes is based on whether new substances are created or just a change in state occurs.
- đ Understanding the difference between physical and chemical changes is fundamental in chemistry, as it helps to analyze and predict the outcomes of various processes.
Q & A
What is the main difference between physical and chemical changes?
-The main difference is that physical changes do not produce new substances, whereas chemical changes result in the formation of new chemical substances.
Can you provide an example of a physical change from the script?
-An example of a physical change is the melting of ice, where water changes from a solid state to a liquid state without producing new substances.
What are the two additional examples of physical changes mentioned in the script?
-The two additional examples are evaporation, where liquid bromine changes to a gaseous state, and sublimation, where solid iodine changes directly to a gaseous state.
What is a chemical change according to the script?
-A chemical change is a process where new chemical substances are formed as a result of a reaction, with the atoms of the reactants being rearranged to form new products.
What is the law of conservation of mass as mentioned in the script?
-The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed, meaning the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
How does the script illustrate the rearrangement of atoms during a chemical change?
-The script uses the example of a combustion reaction where methane reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, showing that the atoms from the reactants are rearranged to form new chemical products.
What happens to the carbon atom from the methane molecule during the combustion reaction?
-The carbon atom from the methane molecule becomes part of the carbon dioxide molecule during the combustion reaction.
How are the oxygen atoms involved in the combustion reaction with methane?
-The oxygen atoms that made up the oxygen molecules are rearranged and become part of the carbon dioxide and water molecules in the combustion reaction.
What is the significance of the law of conservation of mass in understanding chemical changes?
-The law of conservation of mass is significant because it ensures that the total amount of matter remains constant during a chemical reaction, helping us understand that atoms are simply rearranged, not created or destroyed.
Can the script's explanation of physical and chemical changes be applied to other substances and reactions?
-Yes, the principles explained in the script regarding physical and chemical changes are universal and can be applied to various substances and reactions to determine whether new substances are formed.
How does the script differentiate between the states of matter in physical changes?
-The script differentiates by showing transitions between states of matter, such as from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (evaporation), and solid to gas (sublimation), without the formation of new substances.
Outlines
đ Physical Changes: No New Substances
This paragraph introduces the concept of physical changes, emphasizing that they do not result in the creation of new substances. Examples provided include the melting of ice, where it transitions from a solid to a liquid state without altering its chemical composition. Additionally, the paragraph mentions evaporation and sublimation, illustrating how substances like bromine and iodine can change states from liquid to gas or solid to gas, respectively, without forming new substances.
đ Chemical Changes: Formation of New Substances
The second paragraph delves into chemical changes, which are characterized by the formation of new chemical substances as a result of reactions. The paragraph uses the combustion of methane as a prime example, where methane and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water. The law of conservation of mass is highlighted, indicating that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in these reactions, but are instead rearranged to form new products. The transformation of the carbon atom from methane to carbon dioxide and the reorganization of oxygen atoms into new molecules are specifically pointed out to demonstrate this process.

this is M sjcam in this video I'll be
looking at physical and chemical changes
let's start by looking at physical
changes in a physical change no new
substances are produced the melting of
ice which we can see in the picture on
the left is an example of a physical
change when ice melts no new substances
are produced instead water in a solid
state changes to water in the liquid
state because there are no new
substances being produced this is an
example of a physical change next we
look at two more examples of physical
changes evaporation and sublimation on
the Left we have the evaporation of
bromine in which bromine in the liquid
state changes to bromine in the gaseous
state on the right we have the
sublimation of iodine in which iodine in
the solid state changes to iodine in the
gaseous state
because both these examples are physical
changes no new substances are being
produced next we look at chemical
changes a chemical change results in the
formation of new chemical substances in
a chemical reaction the atoms in the
reactants are rearranged to form new
products here we have an example of a
combustion reaction in which methane
reacts with oxygen to form carbon
dioxide and water the first thing we
notice about this reaction is that there
are the same number of atoms in the
reactants as there are in the products
the law of conservation of mass states
that in a chemical reaction matter is
not created or destroyed
the second thing we notice is that the
atoms of the reactants have been
rearranged to form new products for
example the carbon atom that made of the
methane molecule is now part of the
carbon dioxide molecule and the oxygen
atoms that made up the oxygen molecules
are now part of the carbon dioxide and
water molecules so from this example we
can see the
in a chemical change the atoms in the
reactants are rearranged to form new
chemical substances
