Which of these is a chemical property of a substance?

density

color

boiling point

flammability

Answer :

Dejanras

Answer is: flammability.

A chemical property is any of a substance properties that is obvious after chemical reaction.

For example, alcohol is flammable and water is not.

Density, color and boiling point are physical property. Physical property can be observed and measured without any changes in molecular composition. The same substance is present before and after the change.

Further Explanation:

The property is a unique feature of the substance that differentiates it from the other substances. It is classified into two types:

1. Physical properties:

The properties that are measured without altering the chemical nature of the substance are called physical properties. These are used to observe and describe matter. Texture, color, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, and polarity are examples of physical properties. These can be intensive (depending on the nature of substance) or extensive (depending on the amount of substance). density, melting point, electrical conductivity are intensive while mass, volume, weight are extensive.

2. Chemical properties:

These properties are the characteristics of the behavior of substances that can be observed during its chemical reaction. These cannot be determined by just observing or touching the substances. Heat of combustion, enthalpy of combustion, toxicity, flammability are some examples of chemical properties.

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Its unit is g/mL. It can be determined without allowing it to undergo any chemical change. So it is a physical property.

Color is a property of any substance that is observed without any chemical reaction or change. So it is a physical property.

During the measurement of boiling point, the substance in the liquid state gets converted into vapors but its chemical composition remains the same. So it is a physical property.

Flammability of a substance can be defined as the property of a substance which is a measure of its ability to burn in the presence of oxygen. So a chemical reaction takes place for determination of flammability and therefore it is a chemical property.
