Physical Properties

All life on Earth depends on water. Acharacteristic of water is that it sticksto itself, a property known ascohesion. A physical propertydescribes a characteristic of asubstance that can be observed ormeasured. Another example of aphysical property is the melting pointof a substance.

Characteristic Physical Properties

If you had to identify a pure liquid, youcould perform various chemical tests onit. You could also examine the physicalproperties of the pure liquid. However,some physical properties are not usefulfor identifying a sample. Knowing thevolume and temperature of a mysterysample is not a great help becausethese values are not unique to thesubstance.

February 8, 2013 1DCHEM - Physical Properties 7

Characteristic Physical Properties

Certain physical properties are unique to eachpure substance, like fingerprints are unique toeach person. These properties are calledcharacteristic physical properties, andthey can be used with confidence to identify apure substance. Unlike chemical tests,characteristic physical properties can bedetermined without changing the compositionof the sample, so the test sample isunchanged.

Characteristic Physical Properties – Density

As you may recall, density is the amount of matter per unit volume of thatmatter. The units of density are usually g/cm3 (solid) and g/mL (liquid).

DENSITY

where D is the density (g/cm3 or g/mL)

m is the mass (g) D=m/V m=DV V=m/D

V is the volume (cm3 or mL)

Characteristic Physical Properties – Density

PRACTICE

10. The density of liquid mercury is 13.53 g/cm3. The density of solidcopper is 8.96 g/cm3. Would you expect a piece of copper to sink orfloat when placed in a container of liquid mercury? Explain.

the copper would float when placed in the liquid mercury – this isbecause the density of copper is less than the density of liquid mercury(i.e. 8.96 < 13.53 g/cm3)

11. Aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3 while copper has a density of8.96 g/cm3. Which metal would you choose to build a model airplane?Why?

it would be better to build the model airplane using aluminum becauseit will be lighter in terms of density

Characteristic Physical Properties – Density

PRACTICE

12. A drinking glass at a crime scene contains a clear colourless liquid thatmay be water or alcohol. As the investigator, you know that thedensities of alcohol, water, and ice are 0.79 g/mL, 1.0 g/mL, and 0.92g/mL. Design a simple method to determine the identity of themystery liquid. Explain your design.

place the ice cube in the liquid – if it floats that means the liquid mustbe water (0.92 < 1.0 g/mL) but if it sinks that means the liquid isalcohol (0.92 > 0.79 g/mL)

Observing Physical Properties

We make direct observations when weare asked to determine the physicalproperties of a substance. For example,you might describe the substance on theright as white, odourless, and powdery.We make these observations using ourfive senses. Any property that does notprovide numerical information is called aqualitative property.

Further, we may take somemeasurements and note that thesubstance has a mass of 10.0 g and is ata temperature of 25EC. These measuredphysical properties give us numericalinformation about the substance. Thesetypes of information are quantitativeproperties of the substance.

Physical Changes

If you take a piece of paper and fold it into a paper crane, does the paperundergo a chemical or physical change? It is true that the paper craneappears to be a new object, but the composition of the paper is notchanged. It is still paper, although with a different shape and size. Thischange is a physical change.

Physical Changes

In a physical change, the composition ofthe substance remains exactly the same.No new substances are made. Forexample, boiling changes water from aliquid to a gas, but it does not changewater into a new substance. When waxis heated it melts but when it cools itturns back into a solid. Its physicalproperties changed, but its compositionstayed the same – the wax is still waxwhether it is solid or melted.

February 8, 2013 1DCHEM - Physical Properties 27

Physical Changes

Dissolving is also a physical change. When salt isdissolved in water, you cannot see the salt, but ifyou took a sip you would taste the salt. And, ifyou allowed the water to evaporate, the saltwould remain in the container. Dissolving salt inwater does not produce a new substance. So, it isa physical change.

February 8, 2013 1DCHEM - Physical Properties 28

Physical Changes

NOTE!

Some physical changes can be reversed. For example, when sugardissolves in water, the change can be reversed by evaporating the wateraway. Other physical changes cannot be reversed. For example, if youwere to cut a log into lumber, you could not put the log back together.

A. Read the activity “1DCHEM - ASG#1 (Vial Lab)”.

B. Follow the instructions given (i.e. method 1 to 5).

C. Answer the questions given (i.e. analysis 1 to 4).

D. Submit a formal lab report.

NOTE!

• This is a “practice” formal lab report. We will write up the lab togetherusing the QHMMOCA format so that you have an understanding ofwhat is required for a formal lab. You may find the “Lab ReportScheme” handout very useful.

• Formal lab reports are evaluated on a number of levels includingspelling and grammar, form, and content. Simply handing in a table ofobservations and the answers to the questions is not acceptable whena formal lab report has been requested!
