Problem Analysis and Solution
The provided worksheet focuses on distinguishing between physical properties and chemical properties, as well as matching substances with their respective properties. Below is a detailed solution for each section.
---
Section 1: Physical vs. Chemical Properties
#### Instructions:
- Write "C" for chemical property or "P" for physical property.
#### Solutions:
1. a) copper bends easily
- Physical Property (P): Bending is a change in shape without altering the chemical composition of copper.
2. b) iron rusts in the air
- Chemical Property (C): Rusting involves a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water to form iron oxide.
3. c) water is liquid
- Physical Property (P): Being liquid refers to the state of matter, which is a physical characteristic.
4. d) helium gas does not burn
- Chemical Property (C): The inability to burn is related to helium's chemical inertness.
5. e) gold can be easily melted
- Physical Property (P): Melting point is a physical property that describes the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid.
6. f) glass breaks when hit
- Physical Property (P): Breaking is a physical change in the structure of glass.
7. g) water freezes
- Physical Property (P): Freezing is a phase change from liquid to solid, which is a physical process.
8. h) milk turns sour if left out of the fridge
- Chemical Property (C): Turning sour involves bacterial fermentation, which is a chemical reaction.
9. i) water evaporates
- Physical Property (P): Evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas, which is a physical process.
10. j) hydrogen gas burns explosively
- Chemical Property (C): Burning is a chemical reaction involving hydrogen and oxygen.

- Molasses is a thick, syrupy liquid.
4. IV. ductile
- Substance: G. aluminum
- Aluminum can be drawn into wires, indicating ductility.
5. V. translucent
- Substance: C. frosted glass
- Frosted glass allows light to pass through but not clear images, making it translucent.
6. VI. crystalline
- Substance: I. salt
- Salt (sodium chloride) forms crystals.
7. VII. sweet
- Substance: J. sugar
- Sugar has a sweet taste.
8. VIII. choking
- Substance: K. oxygen
- Lack of oxygen can cause choking.
9. IX. silky
- Substance: B. talcum powder
- Talcum powder has a silky texture.
