- Any physical characteristics is referred to as a physical property
Physical Property
• A characteristic of a substance that you can observe and measure without changing the
identity of the substance
Qualitative Physical Properties
• Can be observed and described without detailed measurement
• Usually obvious to observe
• Colour, smell are examples of qualitative physical properties
• Lustre is if it’s shiny or dull
• Malleability is if it’s soft or hard (How it bends)
Quantitative Physical Properties
• Can be measured and assigned a particular value
• Solubility is the ability to dissolve in another substance
• Density is the ratio of mass to volume
• Viscosity is resistance to flow (liquid)
States of Matter
• The specific temperature at which an element or a compound changes state is a characteristic
physical property
• Melting: Solid-Liquid
- The temperature when a solid turns into a liquid is called the melting point
• Solidification: Liquid-Solid
• Evaporation: Liquid-Gas
- The temperature at which a liquid turns into gas is called the boiling point
• Boiling point of water: 100º
• Boiling point of helium: -269º
• Sublimation: Solid-Gas
• Deposition: Gas-Solid
Solubility
• A measure of the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance
• The solubility of a substance is the maximum quantity of a substance that can dissolve in a
given amount of solvent at a particular temperature and pressure
• Units: Solute per Mass of Solvent
• Units: Mass of solute per volume of solvent
• A substance that does not dissolve or has a very low solubility is sometimes described as
being insoluble
• The Hardness of a substance refers to its ability to be scratched
• Water is a pure substance
• Density is defined as the mass of a substance that occupies a certain unit volume
• Formula to find density is: D=m/v (Mass/Volume)
• Density showed in cubic centimetres (tiny 3)
