A chemical property, meanwhile, is any of a material’s

properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction; that


is, any quality that can be established only by changing a
substance’s chemical identity. Chemical properties cannot be
determined just by viewing or touching the substance; the
substance’s internal structure must be affected for its chemical
properties to be investigated.
Physical Properties
Physical properties are properties that can be measured or
observed without changing the chemical nature of the
substance. Some examples of physical properties are:
color (intensive)
density (intensive)
volume (extensive)
mass (extensive)
boiling point (intensive): the temperature at which a
substance boils
melting point (intensive): the temperature at which a
substance melts

Chemical Properties
Remember, the definition of a chemical property is that
measuring that property must lead to a change in the
substance’s chemical structure. Here are several examples of
chemical properties:
Heat of combustion is the energy released when a
compound undergoes complete combustion (burning)
with oxygen. The symbol for the heat of combustion is
ΔH c .
Chemical stability refers to whether a compound will
react with water or air (chemically stable substances will
not react). Hydrolysis and oxidation are two such
reactions and are both chemical changes.
Flammability refers to whether a compound will burn
when exposed to flame. Again, burning is a chemical
reaction—commonly a high-temperature reaction in the
presence of oxygen.
The preferred oxidation state is the lowest-energy
oxidation state that a metal will undergo reactions in
order to achieve (if another element is present to accept
or donate electrons).

Distillation.
If two substances have different boiling points and are mixed
together, you can boil them and the one with the lower boiling point
will evaporate out.
Chromatography .
If you've ever done the experiments where you draw colored dots on
a paper towel and dip it in water, this is that. Chromatography is
when a substance is carried away (through the towel in this case) or
spread around by the absorption of water. You can also think of a
spill on a rug.

Crystallization.
For a supersaturated solution, you can choose to let the solute
crystallize out. Example: Rock candy (sugar solution)
4. Filtration/decanting.
Sort them out by particle size using a selective membrane such as
filter paper.

Here are a number of common separation techniques:


Chromatography
Chromatography is the separation of a mixture by passing it in
solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas
chromatography) through a medium in which the components
move at different rates. Thin-layer chromatography is a special
type of chromatography used for separating and identifying
mixtures that are or can be colored, especially pigments.
Distillation
Distillation is an effective method to separate mixtures
comprised of two or more pure liquids. Distillation is a
purification process where the components of a liquid mixture
are vaporized and then condensed and isolated. In simple
distillation, a mixture is heated and the most volatile component
vaporizes at the lowest temperature. The vapor passes through
a cooled tube (a condenser), where it condenses back into its
liquid state. The condensate that is collected is called distillate.
Evaporation
Evaporation is a technique used to separate out homogenous
mixtures where there is one or more dissolved solids. This
method drives off the liquid components from the solid
components. The process typically involves heating the mixture
until no more liquid remains, Prior to using this method, the
mixture should only contain one liquid component, unless it is
not important to isolate the liquid components. This is because
all liquid components will evaporate over time. This method is
suitable to separate a soluble solid from a liquid.

Filtration
Filtration is a separation method used to separate out pure
substances in mixtures comprised of particles some of which
are large enough in size to be captured with a porous material.
Particle size can vary considerably, given the type of mixture.
For instance, stream water is a mixture that contains naturally
occurring biological organisms like bacteria, viruses, and
protozoans. Some water filters can filter out bacteria, the length
of which is on the order of 1 micron. Other mixtures, like soil,
have relatively large particle sizes, which can be filtered through
something like a coffee filter.

Consumer Products Defined


Capitalist societies work through the production and purchase of
goods and services. A consumer is an individual who purchases
goods or services for personal use. For example, you might buy a
television for entertainment or a plane ticket to travel to another
country. It's these purchases that drive capitalist economies.
A consumer product is a physical thing that is sold to consumers.
Some of the best selling consumer products of all time include the
video game console PlayStation, the Toyota Corolla car and the
Rubik's Cube puzzle. Other highly popular products are consumables
such as the carbonated soft drink Coca-Cola. If you include all
brands and models of the same basic products, perhaps the best-
selling of all would be common home products such as furniture or
stoves.
