Scientific Method
a method of investigation involving observation and theory to test scientific hypotheses
Law of Conservation of Mass
matter can’t be created nor destroyed
Mass
a measure of resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion
Weight
amount of gravitational force exerted on an object
Celsius to Kelvin
Tk=Tc+273
Matter
anything occupying space and with mass
Law of Definite Proportion
a given compound always has exactly the same proportion of elements by mass
Law of Multiple Proportions
when two elements form a series of compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second element that combine with 1g of the first element can always be reduced to whole numbers
Radioactivity
Spontaneous emission of radiation
Types of Radiation
Alpha Particles- 2+ charge Beta Particles- high-speed electrons
Isotopes
atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons Gamma Ray- high-energy light
Chemical Bonds
Force that holds atoms together
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds
1.Cation first, anion second
Naming Polyatomic Ions
1.The ion with the smaller number of O2 ends in -ite
Finding Empirical Formulas
1.Calculate moles of each atom in molecule
Percent Yield
Actual Yield/Theoretical Yield*100%
Net Ionic Equation
only contains ions that change in reaction
Acids
substances that form H+ when dissolved in water; proton donors
Bases
Substances that form OH- when dissolved in water; proton acceptors
Molarity
moles of solute/volume of soln(L)
1atm=?mmHg/Torr
