All substances have distinct physical and chemical properties, and may undergo physical or chemical changes. Physical properties, such as hardness and boiling point, and physical changes, such as melting or freezing, do not involve a change in the composition of matter.

What property of matter changes depending on the gravitational pull?

Weight


Why doesn't your mass change on different planets?

Mass is the amount of substance in an object. It is independent of gravitational field. Weight on the other hand, is the measure of the gravitaional pull of an object, which does vary with the strength of a gravitational field.


Does the mass of an object change as the distance of gravity changes?

No, the mass of an object remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not change with gravitational influence. The weight of an object, however, can change with variations in gravity, as weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the object.


What affect will happen on the mass of a substance if taken on moon?

This is a trick question! The mass of a substance does not change no matter where it is, even when it is weightless in space. The mass says in a way how much "stuff" there is, which does not depend on where it is. The "weight" of a substance is how heavy it is, how much force it puts on the ground. The weight says how hard it is to lift. The weight of a substance will only be 1/6 as much on the moon because the moon has less gravity than the earth, since the gravity of something depends on how big it is and the moon is smaller than the earth.


Does weight change influence inertia?

No, weight change does not influence inertia. Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object, not its weight. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object and can change depending on the gravitational field, but the object's inertia remains constant as long as its mass does not change.

What properties of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes 1 mass 2 volume 3 temperature?

The mass of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes. The temperature of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes. However, the volume of a substance may change when the amount of the substance changes, depending on the conditions.


A physical property of a substance can only be observed if the substance changes into a different substance?

No, a physical property DOES NOT change the identity of a substance. That would be a chemical property which DOES change the identity.


What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of substance that you have?

The density of a substance remains constant regardless of the amount of the substance. Density is an intrinsic property of a material and is determined by its mass and volume. Increasing the amount of substance will only change the mass and volume proportionally, thus keeping the density constant.


Why is dencity a physical change?

Density is classified as a physical property because the density of a substance can change when the substance changes state. Example: When water evaporates it is a physical change and the density changes. A chemical property is a property that describes its ability to react chemically with other substances and THEREFORE density is not a chemical property.


Why is weight an extensive property?

Weight is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of substance present. The more substance there is, the greater the weight will be. Extensive properties scale with the size or amount of material being considered.


Is density an intensive property or extensive property?

Intensive because it doesn't depend on the amount of material.


What is the relationship between the chemical property of a substance and the chemical changes of a substance?

The chemical properties of an object show what a chemical change did to that substance.


How a physical property such as mass or texture can change without causing a change in substance?

These physical changes doesn't influence the chemical formula of the substance.


Is Density is a property?

Density is classified as a physical property because the density of a substance can change when the substance changes state. Example: When water evaporates it is a physical change and the density changes. A chemical property is a property that describes its ability to react chemically with other substances and THEREFORE density is not a chemical property.YES.


What type of property is a change of state?

Change of state of a substance is a physical property!


Is magnetic a extensive or intensive property?

Magnetic properties are considered an extensive property, as they depend on the amount of material present. In other words, the magnetic behavior of a substance will change with the quantity of the substance.


Is freezing point a physical property or physical change?

Freezing point is a physical property. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid state under standard atmospheric pressure. Physical changes involve a change in state without altering the chemical composition of a substance.
