A physical reaction is when the composition of a material stays the same, such
as ripping a paper in half.
You can tell if it is a chemical change if there is a color change, production
of gas, and/or there is a formation of a precipitate. However, this can't always
tell accurately. To be completely sure, you must see if there is something
completely different in the end.

What are you going to do tonight to make sure you are ready for your quiz
tomorrow?
===================================================================
I will read over my notes and practice them for about 2 hours.
10/12 Warm-Up:
Check your grade – is it what you want it to be?
Yes. B and up is fine with me.
I will study for the test by studying over the weekend to help me with the test
on Tuesday.
10/15 Warm-Up:
If you found an unknown powder in the lab, how could you test it to figure out
what it is?
Test solubility (seeing if it dissolves in water), heat it up to melting
point/boiling point, color, how big the particles are, see what it feels like,
density, etc.
First I would note its color. Then I’d measure the mass and volume to get the
density. I’d also then test its solubility. Last, I’d find its melting point and
its boiling point.
10/16 Warm-Up:
What grade are you going to get today and why?
I think I’m going to get at least a B because I’ve studied a lot during the
weekend. I will at the least know the vocab fairly well.
