50. If you had a mixture of bromine, water, and ethanol, and you were trying to separate this mixture… Which substance would become a gas first in the distillation process?
Matter can be described with extensive properties (which refer to the amount of a substance) or with intensive properties (which refer to characteristics). Physical properties describe things you can OBSERVE about a substance with only physical changes (examples: melting point, boiling point, hardness, color) and chemical properties describe substances ability to do other things (Iron is able to react with oxygen, vinegar has the ability to react with baking soda, sulfuric acid has the ability to melt plastic).
