9. Limewater & CO2 a. See Mrs. Constant for this reaction. Name: ______Period: ______Date: ______

Purpose: What are the differences between chemical and physical properties? What are the differences between chemical and physical changes?

Safety: Wear goggles. Take standard precautions: Don’t get chemicals in your eyes, don’t ingest any chemicals. If you get liquid chemicals on your skin, wash it off.

Procedure: Make sure to record all observations in a data table correlated to the procedure step number. Observations should include properties of the substances before and after any change, as well as what happens during any change. Note: All amounts are approximate.
