Chemistry: Discussion Questions
Discussion questions:
1. Quantitative- using numbers and measurable properties to describe on observation. Qualitative- using physical properties and person’s 5 senses to describe an observation. (color, smell, etc.)
2. In step 1 + 2, we used qualitative observations as attributes such as color and malleability cannot be measured.
3. Sulphur transformed during the heating from a yellow powder to a red liquid and a poisonous gas.
4. Copper transformed from a malleable, glossy brown color to a charred piece of copper in the shape of a horseshoe.
5. The product that was created in the 3rd step was sulphur oxide gas.
6. No, because as the sulphur was heating much of sulphur in gas form escaped.
7. Yes, copper turned black/charred,
