Identify the following as an example of a physical property or a chemical property. silver tarnishes when it comes into contact with hydrogen sulfide in the air. a)physical property b)chemical property

The answer would be A) Physical Change. When the silver tarnishes it is still remnants of silver. If it were B, the silver would change into a different substance.

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A physical property is defined as a property that does not change the chemical composition of a substance.

For example, boiling point, melting point, density, mass etc are all physical properties.

Whereas a chemical property is defined as a property that bring chemical changes in a substance.

For example, silver tarnishes when it comes into contact with hydrogen sulfide in the air is a chemical property. This is because due to chemical reaction with hydrogen sulfide and air there occurs tarnishing in silver.

Hence, we can conclude that given example is a chemical property.
