If the property can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance, then it is a physical property. If the property can be observed only through a chemical reaction, then it is a chemical property.

Can you tell the chemical properties of a can by looking at a picture whether it is a tin can aluminum can or a crushed can?

No, you cannot determine the chemical properties of a can just by looking at a picture. Different metals like tin and aluminum have distinct physical properties, but to identify the exact metal used in a can, you would need to perform a chemical analysis or consult the manufacturer's specifications.


Are the following properties physical or chemical?

To determine whether properties are physical or chemical, consider that physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity, such as color, boiling point, and density. In contrast, chemical properties describe a substance's ability to undergo chemical changes, such as reactivity with acids or flammability. If you provide specific properties, I can help classify them accordingly.


Is food physical property and chemical property?

Food is not a property. Food is a general description of matter that is edible can be eaten) the various chemical substances that make up food have both physical and chemical properties. Whether something is edible or not depends on both physical and chemical factors.


How do physical and chemical property's change when element becomes a compound or a mixture?

When elements combine to form compounds than the properties of elements are not pre demoninantly the same in them whether chemical or physical while in the form of mixture elements retain their properties.


How do you determine weather a property is physical or chemical?

To determine whether a property is physical or chemical, consider whether the property can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity. Physical properties, such as color, melting point, and density, can be observed without altering the material. In contrast, chemical properties, like reactivity and flammability, describe how a substance interacts with other substances and involve a change in chemical composition. If a property involves a change in identity or formation of new substances, it's chemical; if not, it's physical.

Is gas physical or chemical at room temp?

This question makes no sense. All substances, whether solid, liquid, or gas have both physical and chemical properties at virtually all temperatures.

What are physical properties and what are some examples?

Chemical properties: flammability, reactivity with a specified substance, radioactivity, enthalphy change of formation, whether it is acidic or basic (pH)Physical properties: melting point, boiling point, density, color, electrical conductivityFor more of chemical and physical properties, see the two related links below under "Sources and related links".


How would you compare physical and chemical properties and physical and chemical changes?

Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity, such as color or density. Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances, like its ability to rust or burn. Physical changes alter a substance's appearance or state without changing its chemical composition, while chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties.


Can chemical property float?

Chemical properties themselves do not float, as they describe the behavior of substances during chemical reactions, such as reactivity or acidity. However, the physical properties of a substance, like density, determine whether it can float in a given medium. For example, an object with a density less than that of water will float, while one with a greater density will sink. Thus, it’s the physical properties that influence buoyancy, not the chemical properties.


Compare physical and chemical properties?

A chemical property is the substance's response to other substances, resulting in a new substance. A physical property is something like a substance's lustre, melting point, boiling point, colour, or density, to name a few. Examples of chemical properties are: combustibility and reaction to acid.


Is burning salt a characteristic property?

No, burning salt is not a characteristic property. The physical and chemical properties of salt remain the same whether it is burned or not.


Sulfur has a bright yellow color is this physical or cheimical property?

Its colour, its melting point, its boiling point, whether it is magnetic or not, whether it is an electrical conductor or not and its atomic mass are all physical properties.
