Is the melting of gold a physical of chemical change ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AloneS @CandyCove @soprano.h.d0816 @rebeccaxhawaii @Daniee_Bruhh @fluttershyK @jigglypuff314 Can anyone help with this ?

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

Melting gold is a physical change. Note that melted gold is still gold. To undergo a chemical change it would have to become a different substance (which in the case of gold would be unusual, since gold is relatively inert).

ok now i have 3 more can u help ?

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

I can try!

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

@Daniee_Bruhh you copied that off answers.com even though its right you cant copy stuff off other sites

1. Is a brick breaking a chemical or physical change ? 2. Is mixing salt and pepper a chemical or physical change ? 3. Is a bike rusting a chemical or physical change ?

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

@Imverytired 1. physical

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

1. Breaking a brick would have to be a physical change because it's a physical object.

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

2. physical

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

2. Is physical because your not mixing the properties but just the physical form of the two.

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

3. chemical

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

3. Rusting is a chemical change. Rust occurs when rain hits medal.

Can u guys help with a few more ? @fluttershyK @Daniee_Bruhh

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

Sure!

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

@Imverytired of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Physical changes (A)are only caused through burning a material (B)cannot be detected by the naked eye (C)do not change the identity of the substance (D)change the identity of a substance

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

C. They do not change the identity of the substance because it's not a chemical change that changes the elements of an object.

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

@Imverytired actually let @Daniee_Bruhh help you I got to go help another friend of mine in english

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

@Imverytired sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A phase change is a type of (A)physical change (B)chemical change (C)nuclear change (D)covalent change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry not c its b

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

Hmmm... I think that you were right when you said it was C... Because phase change means The states in which matter can exist: as a solid, liquid, or gas. When temperature changes, matter can undergo a phase change, shifting from one form to another and Nuclear change means the elements can change from one to another. Nuclei can break apart to form smaller elements. Nuclei can fuse together to make heavier elements. Neutrons can turn into protons and protons into neutrons so C seems about right to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOOOh!!!!! i get it! ok

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Phase change is a physical change

OpenStudy (rushwr):

-_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All of the following require breaking and forming chemical bonds except (A)burning coal (B)rusting iron (C)evaporating water (D)tarnishing silver I think its c

OpenStudy (daniee_bruhh):

Really? lol maybe you can help then XD
