F5: Changing Matter Checklist -types of changes -Changes involving the interaction of matter & energy -Effects of Burning

Fuels Type of Changes There are 2 types of changes, physical & chemical changes. A physical change is a change in which no new substance is formed. Physical changes are often easy to reverse. They are also called temporarily changes. For example, common salts dissolve in water to form a salt solution. If we heat the salt solution, the water evaporates, leaving common salt started with. A chemical change is a change in which a new substance is formed. Physical Definition A physical change is a change in which no new substance is formed. Easy to reverse. They are also called temporarily changes. -Dissolving -Changes of State -Expansion / Contraction Chemical A chemical change is a change in which a new substance is formed.

Combination -Occurs when heat causes 2 or more substances to combine, forming a new product. Examples: Heating of Iron & sulfur to form

Iron sulfur Iron + Sulfur --------> Iron Sulfide Thermal Decomposition -A substance that breaks down into 2 or more simpler substances. Examples: 1) Decomposition of Copper(2) Carbonate Copper Carbonate -------> copper oxide + carbon dioxide 2) Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate Calcium Carbonate -------> calcium oxide + carbon dioxide 3) Decomposition of sugar ------>
