COMMONLY USED TO HOLD BEVERAGES Aluminum cans, styrofoam cups, paper cups although not as much nowadays. COMMONLY USED IN FORMS OF INSULATION Aluminized bubble wrap type insulation, styrofoam sheets, cellulose attic insullation (usually used from recycled paper) COMMONLY USED AS CONTAINER MATERIAL Aluminum boxes and brief cases, styrofoam packing boxes and egg crate boxes even, paseboard or paper boxes and egg crates even All have mass, chemical potential energy, react with oxygen, can be used as building materials, . All are produced from pre existing matter (as is everything else, pretty much). How do they differ? Aluminum is an element and a metal produced by electrolysis of ores. Styrofoam is the common name of polystyrene foam. Close kin to gasoline Paper is material produced by removing lignin from wood (usually, although you can get it from cotton or linen or other plant materials) and pressing it into sheets (usually) All three materials are 100% recyclable. Often profitably.

Why is paper's physical properties different from water's physical properties?

There are a lot of reasons why paper's physical properties differ from water's physical properties.Paper is a solid, water is a liquid.Water is transparent, paper is not.Water flows smoothly, paper does not.etc.


Classify the following properties of matter either physical or chemicalironrusting gasoline burring cutting a piece of wood aluminum reacting with foil paper?

Iron rusting = chemical gasoline burning = chemical cutting a piece of wood = physical aluminum reacting with foil paper= chemical Anytime the basic molecule is changed, it is chemical, and if it is not than it is physical. Keep in mind that basic state changes (e.g. melting from solid to liquid) are physical.


What are some physical and chemical properties of paper that can be observed?

Is cutting paper hearts from red paper a physical or chemical change?

Physical, because the paper hasn't changed any chemical properties (It is still paper), even after you cut a heart out of it.


If a aluminum foil is pounded in a sheet of paper what physical propertie has changed?

Density and Luster.


Is cutting paper into tiny pieces a chemical or physical?

Cutting paper into tiny pieces is a psychical change. This is because the chemical properties of paper are left unchanged and the paper is only reduced to a fraction of its original size, which only affects its physical properties.


How are physical and chemical properties of matter useful?

Physical and chemical properties of matter are useful because they can help you identify that substance. For example paper burns very easily and aluminum doesn't, this is how they can be described individually.


Is setting a piece of paper on fire a example of chemical change?

yes because it changes the physical properties of it as a paper by burning


What are some physical and chemical properities of paper that can be observed?

The physical properties I know of are the shape which are either a square or rectangle, the color which is either white or different colors. The chemical properties I know of are just before you make the paper, that's pretty much it...


What are the products of physical change?

The products of a physical change are the same as what you started out with because their have been no changes to its chemical properties. Ex: If you rip a piece of paper, it's still paper.


How can you physically change a piece of paper?

In order to change the physical properties of an object, one must alter the 'format' of an object. An alteration of the physical properties is only a shift in the way an object can be described, not in the chemical composition of the product. In context a piece of paper could have its physical properties changed by being burned, being shredded, or by being submerged in water.
