Question

Rubbing alcohol or isopropanol can be described by the chemical formula C3H7OH. One milliliter of isopropanol has a mass of 0.76 g, so its density is 0.76 g/mL. Isopropanol is often used as a cleaner or a disinfectant and evaporates when placed on warm objects. However, caution must be taken when using isopropanol, because it is also highly flammable. Which of the following is a chemical property of isopropanol?
A. One mL of isopropanol has a mass of 0.76 g.
B. Isopropanol has a density of 0.76 g/mL.
C. Isopropanol evaporates when placed on a warm object.
D. Isopropanol is flammable.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Isopropanol is flammable.

Explanation:

Mass, volume, temperature, phase of matter, color, texture, density, and hardness are all examples of physical properties. However, flammability is an example of a chemical property.

Chemical properties describe an object's potential to change its chemical composition. These properties depend on the types of atoms found in the object and the arrangement of those atoms (and their subatomic particles).

Answer 2

A chemical property of isopropanol : D. Isopropanol is flammable.

Further explanation

There are changes that occur in the mater: physical changes and chemical changes

Classification uses the principle of the initial and final state of the substance.

Physical changes do not form new substances, so the properties of the particles remain the same.(size,volume,shape)

Example : boiling and freezing, just change its phase form from liquid to gas or from liquid to solid

 

Chemical changes/reaction form new substances(products) that are different from the initial substances(reactants)

Example : toxic, corroded

So :

• the physical properties of isopropanol :

mass, density, evaporation

• the chemical properties of isopropanol :

highly flammable
