Science 7 - LAND and SEA BREEZE and its Characteristics
Matter Changes and Chemical Reactions Explained
1.
2. MATTER MANIFEST IN TWO WAYS:
1.Physical change – matter changes in states
2.Chemical change – matter undergoes chemical
reaction
3. PHYSICAL CHANGE
Matter can change or transform from one sate to another.
Appearance, from, shape, or size may be altered but the composition stays the
same or it does not change into a new substance.
Example:
Water cycle
Dying a plain white t-shirt into new colors
Doing haircut
Molding clays into different characters or animals
4. PHYSICAL CHANGE
There 4 types of physical change: MELTING, SOLIDIFICATION, EVAPORATION,
CONDENSATION, AND SUBLIMATION.
Water cycle is an example.
Water (liquid) from different
bodies of water will evaporate
when there is heat from the sun,
turning it to vapor (gas).
When precipitation happened,
water falls back to the Earth
either as liquid (rain), or solid
(hail, snow, or sleet)
5. Changes from solid to liquid state
It happens when there is heat applied
or there is higher temperature around
the substance.
Different solids have different melting
points.
Example:
Ice cubes placed in the table turns
into water
Chocolate bars left in a room
temperature melts
Changes from Liquid to gas state
It happens when there is an increase
in temperature.
Different liquids have different boiling
points.
Example:
Boiling water (the smoke or steam
is known as vapor)
Wet floor (due to the heat around,
the water present in the floor
disappear
6. Changes from gas or vapor to liquid
It happens when the vapor cools and
then became water
Example:
Clouds, fog, and mist are product
of condensation.
Vapor condenses when moist air is
cooled below its dew point
Also called as freezing
Changes from liquid to solid
It occurs when the temperature is low
Different liquids have different
freezing point
Example:
Water (liquid) to ice cubes/ice
Juices to ice candy
7. Changes from solid to gas
Example:
Naphthalene balls or moth balls (used to ward off insects) – it is a small and
marble-like balls inside the cabinets. When it is being left exposed it changes
its sizes, became smaller as time pass by.
8. CHEMICAL CHANGE
It occurs when there is chemical reaction
Types of chemical change: COMBUSTION, ELECTROLYSIS, OXIDATION, AND
TARNISHING
Example:
Burning a paper produces ashes, ash is different from the paper you can no
longer distinguish the paper from that ash
Hydrogen peroxide placed in a wound. The wound composed of enzymes
(substance that helps the chemical reaction easy) from the bacteria or from
the wound’s damaged tissue. The hydrogen peroxide once reacted to the
enzymes, it breaks down into water and oxygen.
9. Chemical reaction that occurs when oxygen gas reacts with a flammable
substance to create heat and light.
Common combustion reaction happens between fuel and oxygen.
Fuel is any flammable substance that stores energy in the form of heat and
light. Example: gas, oil, and crude.
Fuels is used for cars, it burns with oxygen and releases energy, and that
energy is released as powers that start up vehicles.
10. Process of using electricity to break a compound into simpler elements or
substances,
Electric current is applied on a material forces its bonded elements or
components to break.
Example:
Car tank is filled with water, water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.
Electric current from the car’s engine applies water to separate hydrogen
and oxygen.
A fuel cell converts the hydrogen into electricity that is powerful enough to
run a car.
11. Reaction occurs when an inflammable substance is exposed to oxygen and this
results in a change in the chemical properties of substance.
Example:
When iron/any metal is exposed to moisture and oxygen, the iron contents
react with oxygen forming iron oxide. Iron oxide is a reddish substance that is
commonly called as rust.
12. Occurs when bright metal is exposed to a nonmetal, usually oxygen, sulfur
dioxide, or hydrogen sulfide, it produces dark color.
Unlike rusting, tarnishing affects only the top layer of an object.
Example:
Silver tarnishes (reaction between oxygen and hydrogen sulfide, produces
black film over the shiny surface of silver object.
