Physical & Chemical Properties: A Lab Activity Discussion!

We will discuss, in detail, our lab activity that will focus upon the physical and chemical properties of matter as they influence changes in matter. For example, the students will observe and record what happens to salt water when silver nitrate is added to it; what happens when hydrogen chloride is slowly added to magnesium; what happens when a few crystals of copper (II) sulfate in the hydrated state is heated for a few minutes, then cooled, and a few drops of distilled water is added to it; and finally, what happens, in terms of  magnetism, to a mixture of powdered sulfur and iron filings before and after heating the mixture.
