Document Summary

Physical change-change that alters the appearance or state but not the i. d. of the substance. Both h20 same chemical composition just different state. The temp at which the transition occurs. Chemical change- alters the composition a reaction occurs and a new substance is formed. Chemical property- describes how the substance will undergo the change. All are terms associated with a chemical reaction. *not always easy to identify whether physical or chemical. Both physical and chemical changes have an exchange of energy. Energy: is the capacity to do work. Work is the action of a force through a distance. Thermal energy- energy associated with the motion of the individual particles (atoms or molecules) Law of the conservation of energy- energy cannot be created or destroyed during a process. Total energy remains the same, amount of p. e. & k. e. are converted from one to the other and vise versa. Higher stability is associated with a low p. e.
