Define the word element
An element is a substance that is made up of only one kind of atom.
how to familiar substances. as elements or.compound
A substance that cannot be broken down into chemically simpler components is an element.
describe familiar chemical reactions in word equations.
potassium hydroxide + sulfuric acid → potassium sulfate + water.
state that mass is conserved in a
chemical reaction.
no atoms. are lost or made in a chemical reaction.
describe the basic structure of an
atom.
an extremely small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons
what are compounds
compounds contain two or more diffrent elements chemically combined in fix proportions.
what are mixture
we have a diffrent elements or compound but they’re not chemically combined
explain the significance of chemical
symbols used in formulae and equations.
Symbols help simplify the process of identifying and explaining chemical formulas.
explain why mass is conserved in a
chemical reaction.
No new atoms have entered or left the system
explain why mass is conserved in a
chemical reaction.
No new atoms have entered or left the system
justify in detail how mass may appear
to change in a chemical reaction.
If a gas escapes, the total mass will look as if it has decreased
describe familiar chemical reactions
with balanced symbol equations
including state symbols.
Thermal Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate. Reaction: Calcium carbonate decomposes when heated.
Equation:
CaCO3(S) CaO(s)+CO2(g)
describe unfamiliar chemical reactions
with more complex balanced symbol
equations, including state symbols.
synthesis of ammonia
N2(g)+3H2(g)-)2NH3(g)
balance given symbol equations.
Unbalanced Equation
Fe+O2-)Fe2O3
balanced equation
4Fe+3O2-)2Fe2O3
balanced symbol equations.
A balanced symbol equation represents a chemical reaction where the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
balanced symbol equations.
A balanced symbol equation represents a chemical reaction where the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
difference between compound and mixture
Compound:
Elements bonded together.
Fixed composition.
Mixture:
Substances combined, not bonded.
Variable composition.
explain how the chemical
properties of a mixture relate to the
chemical it is made from.
Each substance in a mixture retains its own properties.
The overall properties depend on the substances present.
suggest an appropriate separation or
purification technique for an unfamiliar
mixture.
You have a mixture of colored substances (like inks or dyes) or different soluble compounds.
How It Works:
The mixture is placed on a stationary phase (like paper).
A solvent moves through the mixture, separating the components based on their different affinities for the stationary phase and the solvent.
list different separation techniques.
Filtration
Separates solids from liquids.
Distillation
Separates liquids based on boiling points.
Evaporation
Removes a solvent to leave solid residues.
explain in detail how multi-step
separation techniques work.
Filtration: Separates solids from liquids using a filter.
Evaporation: Removes the liquid to leave solid residues.
Distillation: Separates liquids by heating; collects vapor of the lower boiling liquid.
Chromatography: Uses a solvent to
separate components based on movement.
state when fractional distillation would
be used.
For example, fractional distillation is used in oil refineries to separate crude oil into useful substances
list the significant models proposed
for atoms.
Early atomic models.
Dalton’s atomic model.
The Thomson atomic model.
The Rutherford atomic model.
The Bohr atomic model.
Quantum atomic model.
Modern atomic model.
describe the process of fractional
distillation.
a mixture of liquids is boiled and the resulting vapors travel up a glass tube called a “fractionating column” and separate
