5th - Science U1 L2 - Study Guide Flashcards
(27 cards)
Name things with physical properties
Magnetism, conduction, color, texture, mass, volume, weight
Be able to pick if something it’s a physical or chemical property. Study your notes and your text.
X
Name things with chemical properties
Flammability, corrosion, photosynthesis
Name qualitative properties
Color, texture, size
Name quantitative properties
Volume, weight, Mass, density
What is the difference between mass, weight, and volume
Mass is the amount of matter in an of object
Weight is the pull of gravity on an object
Volume is the amount of space and object takes up
What is mass
The amount of matter in an of object
Weight
the pull of gravity on an object
Volume
the amount of space and object takes up
Know why the wait will be different on the planet with a different gravitational pull. Be able to explain
X
What is used to measure mass, weight, and volume?
Mass is measured by a balance
weight is measured by a scale
volume is measured by a cylinder
What units is mass, weight, and volume usually given in?
Mass is measured in grams (g)
Weight is measured in (N)
Volume is given in milliliters (ml)
How do you find the volume of the regularly shaped solid?
Length x Width x Height
How do you find the volume of the irregularly shaped solid?
Graduated Cylindar
What is the formula to calculate density?
D = mass / volume
Which property describes why an object floats?
Buoyancy
Know when an object will float in water and when it will sink in water
It will float when it is less dense than water or surface tension
It will sink when it is more dense than water or if surface tension is broken
Transparent
You can see through it (glass, air, or water)
Translucent
There is some light, but it is blurry (frosted glass, shower door)
Opaque
No light (hard plastic, metal, or wood)
Conduction
The passing of heat through an object; the object stays the same
Alkali
Very reactive; far left column of periodic table
Alkaline
Mild reaction; to the right of alkali on the periodic table
Be able to explain why the temperature at which a substance boils or freezes is classified as a physical property and not a chemical property.
It doesn’t mix with anything. It just changes its physical property
