Name an example of a physical change. Explain why it is not a chemical change.
Answers may vary.

Reasoning should be that it does not change into a new substance (and in some cases, may be reversed).

Name the formulas for mass, volume, and density by using the triangle that we drew in your notebook.
mass = density x volume
(or mass = volume x density)

volume = mass / density

density = mass / volume

One of our labs this unit was to pour liquids into the same cup and see what happens. In this lab, we observed that the oil floated on top of the water. Additionally, we saw that the drops of water-based food coloring sank through the oil and mixed with the water.

Which physical property of matter is responsible for this phenomenon?
density

An object has a density of 2.0 g/cm3 and a volume of 4.0 cm3. What is its mass?
mass = density x volume

mass = 2.0 g/cm3 x 4.0 cm3

mass = 8 grams

A rectangular prism with a mass of 100 grams has a length of 1 cm, width of 5cm, and height of 10cm. calculate the density.
Step 1: Calculate the volume
Volume = length x width x height
volume = 1cm x 5cm x 10cm = 50cm3

Step 2: Calculate the density
density = mass / volume
density = 100g / 50 cm3 = 2 g/cm3

Use your understanding of the law of conservation of mass to explain how physical changes affect the mass of an object.
The mass of the object after the change is equal to the mass before the change.

The mass is not affected by a physical or chemical change.
