Combustion, or , is an example of one of the most familiar chemical changes. Melting of ice, likewise, is one of the most common examples of physical changes. When a piece of coal burns, combines with the carbon in the coal. The products are carbon dioxide gas, water vapor, and a lot of ash. After careful measurements are taken, the of the reactants (coal and oxygen) is to the mass of the products (carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash). During the reaction, the quantity of matter is unchanged. Similarly, when 10 grams of ice , grams of water is obtained. Mass is in this change as well.

the volume of fluid displaced would equal the volume of the gas. use a gas syringe - this is a laboratory instrument that can be used to withdraw a certain volume of gas from a closed system or to measure the volume of gas from a chemical reaction.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
