Which of the following aspects of a car would a chemist most likely study when investigating its chemical properties?
A
The aerodynamic design of the car
B
The color of the car's paint
C
The rate at which the car's metal body rusts
D
The shape of the car's headlights
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances and undergoes chemical changes, such as reactions or transformations.
Identify that the aerodynamic design and shape of the car's headlights relate to physical properties and engineering, not chemical properties.
Recognize that the color of the car's paint is a physical property related to appearance, although the paint itself involves chemistry, the color alone is not a chemical property.
Focus on the rate at which the car's metal body rusts, which involves a chemical reaction (oxidation) where the metal reacts with oxygen and moisture, changing its chemical composition.
Conclude that studying the rusting process directly involves chemical properties because it concerns how the metal chemically reacts and changes over time.
