Chermical and physical properties


Chemical properties

Verified Answer :

Chemical properties.
Physical properties don't change the composition of a substance.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Properties that are unable to bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, salt dissolved in water is a physical change.

Whereas properties that bring change in chemical composition of a substance are known as chemical properties.

For example, \(LiOH + HCl \rightarrow LiCl + H_{2}O\), it is a chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that chemical properties change the composition of a substance.
