Magnetism is a physical property because attracting something to a magnet does not change the substance (change of the composition) itself and doesn't involve chemical reactions.

The magnetic state of a material depends on temperature (and other variables, such as pressure and the applied magnetic field), so a material may exhibit more than one form of magnetism depending on its temperature, etc. However, the magnetism doesn't change the substance itself.

Is heating a bar magnet chemical or physical change?

Heating a bar magnet is a physical change because the magnet does not undergo a chemical reaction. The heat energy causes the atoms in the magnet to vibrate, which disrupts the alignment of the magnetic domains within the magnet, thereby reducing its magnetic strength.


What are the physical properties of Pyrite?

It is a natural magnet that attracts iron.


Is magnet a forcewhy?

No, a magnet is a physical object. However, a magnet can EXERT a force.


What physical properties could be used to separated iron filings from salt?

By means of using magnet because magnet has a magnetite that can attract iron filings to separate it to other substance.


What is the separation of mixtures based on?

The physical properties of the things in the mixture. It could be that one part of the mixture is soluble, the other part insoluble - both physical properties. It could be that you use the boiling point of 2 liquids to separate them - physical properties. You could use a magnet if one part is magnetic and the other isn't - physical properties. And so on. But you are relying on physical properties rather than chemical properties.


Jim drops an iron magnet during a chemistry lab experiment and she finds that it is no longer magnetic so what has happened in terms of its properties?

The iron magnet lost its magnetism, possibly due to undergoing a physical change that disrupted its magnetic alignment. This change could have disrupted the magnetic domains within the iron, causing it to no longer exhibit magnetic properties.


What physical properties would you use to separate a mixture of soil and iron filings?

A magnet can be used to separate iron filings from soil due to the magnetic properties of iron. Simply pass the magnet over the mixture to attract and separate the iron filings from the soil.


How can physical properties be used to separate iron sand salt and water?

Use a magnet to remove the iron, a filter or screen to remove the sand, and a still to remove the salt.


How is a permanet magnet destroyed?

Physical damage, exposure to extreme heat, or exposure to strong magnetic fields can cause a permanent magnet to lose its magnetism. Once a permanent magnet is demagnetized, it is very difficult to restore its original magnetic properties.


How might you separate a mixture iron shavings and sand by using their differing physical properties?

You would use a magnet and the magnet will attract the iron since its magnetic the sand would stay michael Zender


What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?

Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
