for wild plum to become established, and the nutrient enrichment increased fruit production. The branches of wild plum were often pruned or cut back to increase production. Cultivars, Improved and Selected Materials (and area of origin) âBlackhawkâ, âHawkeyeâ, and âDe Sotoâ cultivars are descendents of the wild species (Kindscher 1987).
Determination of chemical properties results in the change of the identity of the substance. Some properties, such as solubility, melting point, boiling point, and density are independent of the amount of. substance being examined. These properties are known as intensive properties and are used to identify a. substance.
Physical and Chemical Properties. Physical properties are those that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. The general properties of matter such as color, density, hardness, are examples of physical properties. Properties that describe how a substance changes into a completely different substance are called chemical properties. Flammability and corrosion/oxidation resistance are examples of chemical properties. The difference between a physical and chemical property is straightforward until the phase of the material is considered. When a material changes from a solid to a liquid to a vapor it seems like them become a difference substance.
