Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties • Scientists used the term physical property to describe

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties • Scientists used the term physical property to describe a characteristic of matter that you can detect with your senses. • A physical property is any characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the identity of the material.

Physical Properties 1 Common Physical Properties • You probably are familiar with some physical

Physical Properties 1 Common Physical Properties • You probably are familiar with some physical properties, such as color, shape, smell, and taste. • You might not be as familiar with others, such as, mass, volume, and density.

Physical Properties 1 Common Physical Properties • Mass (m) is the amount of matter

Physical Properties 1 Common Physical Properties • Mass (m) is the amount of matter in an object. A golf ball has more mass than a table-tennis ball. • Volume (V) is the amount of space that matter takes up. A swimming pool holds a larger volume of water than a paper cup does.

Physical Properties 1 Common Physical Properties • Density (D) is the amount of mass

Physical Properties 1 Common Physical Properties • Density (D) is the amount of mass in a given volume. A golf ball is more dense than a table-tennis ball. Density is determined by finding the mass of a sample of matter and dividing this mass by the volume of the sample.

Physical Properties 1 Density • Bowling balls appear to be the same size, shape,

Physical Properties 1 Density • Bowling balls appear to be the same size, shape, and color, but do they all have the same mass? • If you picked up these bowling balls, you would discover that their masses differ. • The densities of the bowling balls are different because their masses are different.

Physical Properties 1 Identifying Unknown Substances • In some cases, density also can be

Physical Properties 1 Identifying Unknown Substances • In some cases, density also can be used to identify unknown compounds and elements. • The element silver, for example, has a density of 10. 5 g/cm 3 at 20°C. • You can find the metal's density by dividing the mass of the ring by its volume.

Physical Properties 1 State of Matter • State of matter is another physical property.

Physical Properties 1 State of Matter • State of matter is another physical property. • The state of matter tells you whether a sample of matter is a solid, liquid, or a gas. • This property depends on the temperature and pressure of the matter. Click here for movie.

Physical Properties 1 Size-Dependant and Size. Independent Properties • Some physical properties change when

Physical Properties 1 Size-Dependant and Size. Independent Properties • Some physical properties change when the size of an object changes. These properties are called size-dependant properties. • For example, a wooden block might have a volume of 30 cm 3. A larger block might have a volume of 60 cm 3. The volume of the block changes when the size of the block changes.

Physical Properties 1 Size-Dependant and Size. Independent Properties • Some physical properties do not

Physical Properties 1 Size-Dependant and Size. Independent Properties • Some physical properties do not change when an object changes size. Density is an example of a size-independent property.

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Acids and Bases • The strength of an

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Acids and Bases • The strength of an acid or base can be determined by finding the p. H of the sample. • The p. H scale has a range of 0 to 14.

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Acids and Bases • Acids have a p.

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Acids and Bases • Acids have a p. H below 7. • Bases have a p. H above 7.

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Acids and Bases • A sample with a

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Acids and Bases • A sample with a p. H of exactly 7 is neutral— neither acidic nor basic.

Physical Properties 1 Properties of Acids • Some acids, such as concentrated hydrochloric acid,

Physical Properties 1 Properties of Acids • Some acids, such as concentrated hydrochloric acid, are dangerous. • But some acids are edible. • Carbonated soft drinks contain acids.

Physical Properties 1 Properties of Acids • Every time you eat a citrus fruit

Physical Properties 1 Properties of Acids • Every time you eat a citrus fruit such as an orange or a grapefruit, you eat citric and ascorbic (uh SOR bihk) acids.

Physical Properties 1 Properties of Acids • The sharp smell of a freshly sliced

Physical Properties 1 Properties of Acids • The sharp smell of a freshly sliced lemon comes from the citric acid in the fruit. • Take a big bite out of the fruit and you will immediately notice a sour taste. • If you then rubbed your molars back and forth, your teeth would squeak. • All of these physical properties are common in acids.

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Bases • A familiar example of a base

Physical Properties 1 Physical Properties of Bases • A familiar example of a base is soap. • Soap has a slippery feel. • You shouldn't taste soap, but if you accidentally did, you'd notice a bitter taste. • A bitter taste and a slippery feel are physical properties of bases.
