Lab: Physical and Chemical Changes

Question 12 • NC-Physical Science CR 2024

Which use of iron is due to its chemical properties?

Answer
A
producing colored sparks in fireworks
B
changing from liquid to gas at 2,862°C
C
conducting electricity and heat
D
changing from solid to liquid if heated to 1,538°C

Explanation

Producing colored sparks in fireworks depends on iron undergoing chemical reactions as it burns, which is a chemical property. Its boiling point, melting point, and ability to conduct heat and electricity are physical properties because they do not change iron into a different substance. Therefore, the correct choice is producing colored sparks in fireworks.
