A

There are 6 Key steps.

21
Q

Dimensional analysis

A

Convert a number from one unit to another unit.

22
Q

Physical property

A

A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the composition

23
Q

6 Examples of physical property

A

Color, smell, boiling point, mass, volume, temperature

24
Q

Chemical property

A

A characteristic that can only be determined by changing the chemical identity of a substance

25
Q

List of chemical properties 5

A

Ability to react with oxygen, reactivity with water, reactivity with acid, pH, flammability

26
Q

Mixture

A

Material made up of two or more substances that are physically mixed but not chemically combined

27
Q

Element

A

A pure substance made up of only one type of Adam.

28
Q

Examples of elements

A

Hydrogen, sodium, neon, gold, and copper

29
Q

Compound

A

A pure substance that is made up of two or more different elements that are chemically combined

30
Q

List for compounds

A

31
Q

Phase change

A

A transition from one state of matter to another

32
Q

A phase change is a physical change

A

Physical changes do not affect the composition of a substance. Ice is melted into water it’s heated and steam forms it is still all water

33
Q

Name the two types of mixtures

A

Homogeneous and heterogeneous

34
Q

Homogeneous

A

A mixture that is uniform throughout, also called a solution.

35
Q

Heterogenius

A

A mixture that is not uniform throughout

36
Q

Retention factor RF

A

The distance the die traveled compared to the total distance the solvent traveled

37
Q

Ways to separate mixtures 8

A

Manual, magnetism, dissolving, filtration, evaporation, crystallization, distalization, chromatography.
