What does a chemical property give a substance the ability to do?

A chemical property is the properties exhibited by a material in a chemical reaction. This gives a substance the ability to have a chemical identity and is also used in building chemical classifications. The properties can be used in identifying a substance that is unknown or to separate substances. The property also helps in providing information on the application of a substance.

∙ 10y agoThe chemical property of a material is the quality that can be established by changing the substance's chemical identity. The chemical property cannot be observed just by viewing or touching the substance but the substance's internal structure must be affected, for example, by heating.

What is a chemical propery?
(combustibility)A chemical property is any characteristic that gives a substance the ability to undergo a change that results in a new substance.Example: Matches are permanently changed and black after they are burned. Therefore this property can be observed only by changing the composition of the match. Or for instance when you bake pie you put the ingredients in but never can take them out!The chemical property of a given element refers to the property that is used to characterize the reaction of the materials hence their identity.(combustibility)
Can you determine the identity of an unknown substance by calculating its density and observing chemical reactions?
Yes. You can divide the mass by the volume to find its density. Density is a property that can identify a substance.* * * * *No, you cannot! Density is not a property that can identify a substance unless you know that it is pure.All you can do is with mass and volume is determine the density of the substance, which could be a mixture. For example, sodium has a density of 0.97 g/cc and osmium a density of 22.6 g/cc. These two metals can be combined in various proportions to give an alloy with a density with any value between the two given numbers. I am not sure how stable such an alloy might be but the point is that you could make an alloy with the same density as tin, or iron, or lead or bronze.
Define Quantitative structural activity relationship?
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR)(sometimes QSPR: quantitative structure-property relationship)QSAR is the process by which chemical structure is quantitatively correlated with a well defined process, such as biological activity or chemical reactivity.For example, biological activity can be expressed quantitatively as in the concentration of a substance required to give a certain biological response. Additionally, when physicochemical properties or structures are expressed by numbers, one can form a mathematical relationship, or quantitative structure-activity relationship, between the two. The mathematical expression can then be used to predict the biological response of other chemical structures.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_structure-activity_relationship
What will give you the greatest chance to solve a problem successfully?
Your ability to understand the problem.
Why is fire important?
Fire provides warmth, ability to cook, and give light
Describe chemical and physical properties and give examples of each?
A physical property is one that can be changed without altering the chemical formula of the substance, e.g., gas to liquid. A chemical property is one that is unique to that substance and altering it will change that substance chemically, e.g. density or molar mass.
Can you give me a sentence with the word chemical property in it?
this answer has chemical propertiesnot property....To observe the chemical properties of a substance you must try to change it to another substance.another one is : A chemical property of methane ( natural gas) is that it can catch fire and burn in air.
Classify each of the following as a physical or a chemical property. Give reasons for your answer. A. metallic lustre B. boiling point C. explodes when ignited.?
A. Physical property because the metal is just getting shinier, not creating a new substance B. Physical property because the substance is changing form, not creating a new substance C. Chemical property because the substance is changing form during specific chemical reactions characterising an explosion and an ignition
Is a copper metal and acid that give no reaction a physical or chemical property?
The chemical reactivity is a chemical property.
Give one example of a chemical property?
flamability
Flammability is a chemical property that tells whether a substance reacts in the presence of?
Flammability is a chemical property that indicates how well a substance reacts with the element oxygen. Flammability requires oxygen in air for a substance to ignite, or lead to combustion. In regards to flammable liquid, a term often used is flash point, which is the minimum temperature required by flammable liquids to give off enough vapors into the air and begin to burn at their surfaces.

Physical Property.
What name do you give to a substance to release energy?
A substance to release energy is usually called a fuel. A chemical reaction that releases energy is called exothermic.
