Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

The question above requires us to classify certain properties which may either fall into physical or chemical properties of that matter.

Physical properties are properties which are of intrinsic value and has no influence on the chemical nature of the substance while chemical properties are those that influence the chemical nature of the substance.

Physical properties can be measured or calculated while chemical properties of a substance is very difficult to measure.

a). Silver has a shiny luster is an example of "physical property" because the shiny nature of silver has no chemical importance.

b). Silver metal has a density of 10.49 g/cm³ is also a "physical property" because density is a physical property of a material.

Density is ratio between mass and volume which are both physical properties since they can be measured.

c). Silver metal and Chlorine gas produce Silver chloride (AgCl) is a "chemical property" since it involves combining of two elements and they both lose their original chemical identity after the reaction.

d). Silver metal has a melting point of 1235°C is a "physical property"

e). Silver metal conducts electricity is a "chemical property" since conduction of electricity are done by the availability of mobile electrons in its electron cloud.

f) silver metal gives no reaction to acid is also an example of "chemical property"

On the basis of the physical and chemical property of a matter

  • a) is physical property
  • b) is physical property
  • c) is chemical property
  • d) is physical property
  • e) is physical property
  • f) is chemical property

What is a physical and chemical property of a matter?

A characteristic of a substance, which can be measured or observed without changing the identity of the substance is known as a physical property. It include:

  • Color
  • Density
  • Hardness
  • Melting and boiling points

On the other hand, a characteristic, which illustrates the tendency of a substance to go through a particular chemical change is termed as a chemical property.

  • a) The shiny luster shows color of silver, and color is a physical property.
  • b) Density is a physical property.
  • c) It is a chemical change taking place as production of silver chloride is taking place. So, it is a chemical property.
  • d) Melting point of a matter is a physical property.
  • e) Conductivity of a matter shows its physical property.
  • f) No reaction of silver in acid shows its chemical characteristic, thus, it is a chemical property.

Thus, on the basis of the classification a) phys,  b) phys,  c) chem, d) phys, e) phys and f) chem.
