Label each transition in this flow chart as a chemical change or a physical change
2 answers:
Chemical change is where there is breaking and making of bonds
Physical change is where there is change in states of matter
A physical change is classified as a change that does not affect the identity of the substance. Otherwise, that would be a chemical change. From the picture above, you will know that it is a chemical change if the colored circles combined with a different color. You will know if it's a physical change if there is only separation of the same colors. The answers are shown in the picture attached.

Explanation:
As it is known that there are two types of properties. These are extensive and intensive.
Extensive properties : Properties that depend on the size or amount of system. For example, mass, volume etc.
Intensive properties : Properties that do not depend on the size or amount of system. For example, density, melting point, specific heat capacity etc.
On the basis of these properties water and ethanol are distinguished as follows.
- Density of water is 997 kg/
whereas density of ethanol is 789 kg/
- Melting point of water is zero degree celsius whereas melting point of ethanol is -114.1 degree celsius.
- Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184
whereas specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46
- Mass of the given liquids cannot be differentiated because they will keep on changing depending on the quantity required. As mass is an extensive property, therefore, it is difficult to differentiate between the two liquids.
Thus, we can conclude that properties like density, melting point, specific heat capacity can help a chemist distinguish between ethanol and water.
