Explanation:
A property which does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as physical property.
For example, blood is more viscous than water, its pH is slightly alkaline, its temperature is about (
) .
On the other hand, a property which changes chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical property.
For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.
Sometimes, the change in color of a substance can also occur due to a chemical change.
Thus, we can conclude that following are the physical characteristics of blood.
- it is more viscous than water.
- its temperature is about
(
).
- the pH is slightly alkaline.
- it is about 8% of one’s total body weight.
