Explanation:
1). A property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.
For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, etc of a substance are all physical properties.
And, a property that changes chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical property.
For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.
Therefore, ability to react with acid is a chemical property.
2). It is known that physical changes are reversible in nature because no change in chemical composition takes place in such changes.
Whereas chemical changes are irreversible in nature because they cause change in chemical composition of the substance.
So, when substance B returns to its original color then it means the change is reversible. Hence, substance B has undergone a physical change.
On the other hand, substance A does not return to its original color. Therefore, it means chemical change has occurred in substance A.
Hence, the statement a chemical change occurred in substance A, and a physical change occurred in substance B, is true.
3). Since, it is known that 1 pound equals 453.592 g. Therefore, we will convert 2.5 pound into grams as follows.
= 1133.98 g
or, = g
Thus, in 2.5 pound sample there are g.
