At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g ) A(s)+B(s)⟶C(g) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g ) 2A(g)+2B(g)⟶5C(g) A ( g ) + B ( g ) ⟶ C ( g ) A(g)+B(g)⟶C(g) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
