Sugar Lab
***1. Sugar
The cube was complex and when it was crushed, it became simpler because it wasn't together anymore
a. What are the physical properties of the sugar? White, rough, shimmering,
b. What do you notice about the original sugar cube and the smallest particle? they are the same, they have the same components, but not the same size and mass
c. Is the smallest particle still considered sugar? yes because the chemicals in it are the same, the size and mass are different.
d. What physical change has taken place? There is less mass in a single particle, as is tinier size, than the original size
***2.Foil
a. What are the physical properties of the aluminum? shiny, reflects light, little mass,
b. What do you notice about the original piece of aluminum foil and the smallest piece?
c. Is the smallest piece of foil still aluminum?
d. Would it be possible to have a piece of aluminum so small that it is no longer aluminum?
