Let's evaluate each statement you provided:
-
Burning wood is a physical change. - False. Burning wood is a chemical change because new substances (ash, smoke, gases) are created as a result of combustion.
-
In a physical change, the makeup of matter is changed. - False. In a physical change, the makeup of matter does not change. The substances retain their chemical properties, but their appearance or state may change.
-
Combining hydrogen and oxygen to make water is a physical change. - False. This is a chemical change because new substances (water) are formed from the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.
-
Changing the size and shapes of pieces of wood would be a chemical change. - False. This is a physical change. The wood remains wood, just altered in its size or shape.
-
Sand being washed out to sea from the beach is a chemical change. - False. This is a physical change because the sand remains chemically unchanged regardless of its location.
-
Breaking up concrete is a physical change. - True. This is a physical change because the chemical structure of the concrete does not change when it is broken into smaller pieces.
-
Evaporation is a physical change. - True. Evaporation is a physical change because it involves a change in state (from liquid to gas) without altering the chemical composition of the water.
-
Acid rain damaging a marble statue is a physical change. - False. This is generally a chemical change because the acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the marble, leading to changes in its chemical composition and structure.
-
When ice cream melts, a chemical change occurs. - False. Melting ice cream is a physical change because the ice cream changes from solid to liquid state without changing its chemical composition.
In summary:
- False
- False
- False
- False
