PART F: CREATING TABLES (Communicaton) [9 marks]

1. Adam Ikmass and Alec Trawn observed the PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of three
common substances and recorded their observations as follows:

Table salt properties White; crystalline solid; has a density of 2.16 g/cm3; liquefies at 801°C;
non-combustible

Sulfur Burns in air; reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas; melts at
112.8°C; non-combustible

Alcohol Colourless; liquid at 20°C; low viscosity; pure sample has a density of
0.789 g/cm3; combustible – burns in air with a blue flame
