73) What is the difference between a physical property and a chemical property? Give an example of each.
Answer: A physical property is something that can be observed without changing the chemical identity of the substance, such as color or scent.

78) What happens to the density of a sample of iron metal as it is heated from room temperature to 100°C? (This is below the melting point of iron.)
Answer: Since the mass of the iron stays constant, but the volume increases as the temperature is raised, the density of the iron decreases upon heating.

79) What does it mean to be an exact number? Give an example of an exact number.
Answer: An exact number has an infinite number of significant figures even though we typically don’t write many of them out. If there are 26 people in a classroom, there are exactly 26.00000…. people in that room. There is no possibility of a half person, so this is an exact whole number with no ambiguity.
