Question 8 • SVHS Chemistry 1 $FA

Which of these are examples of physical changes? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
burning wood
B
freezing water
C
cutting paper
D
iron rusting
E
mixing water and acetone

Explanation

A physical change alters a material’s form or state without making a new substance. Freezing water changes its state, and cutting paper changes its size and shape; neither creates a new substance. Mixing water and acetone combines the liquids without chemically changing them. Burning wood and iron rusting are chemical changes because they produce new substances.
