1
Q

Element vs Compound

A

An element is composed of only one type of atom and can’t be broken down into a similar chemical substance by physical or chemical means.
A compound is composed of two or more elements chemical combined.

2
Q

Define mixture

A

Two or more elements and/or compounds, physically intermingled.

3
Q

Define a homogenous mixture

A

You can’t pick out components of a homogenous mixture or use simple mechanic means to separate them
Example: air, sugar water, rain water, vodka, vinegar, dishing detergent

4
Q

Define a heterogeneous mixture

A

A mixture where the components of the mixture are not uniform or have localized regions with different properties.
Example: Chicken soup, cereal, blood, soil, pizza

5
Q

Explain Law of Mass Conservation

A

The total mass of a substance does not change during a chemical reaction.

MATTER CANNOT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED

6
Q

Explain Law of Definite/Constant Composition

A

No matter the source, a pure compound is composed of the same elements in the same parts (fraction) by mass

MASS FRACTION IS FIXED NO MATTER WHAT THE SIZE OF THE SAMPLE

7
Q

Explain Law of Multiple Proportions

A

If element A and B react to form two compounds, the different mass of B that combines with the fixed mass of A can be expressed as a ratio of small whole numbers.

8
Q

14.35g of kaolinitie contains 8.009g oxygen what is the mass percent of oxygen in this sample? What Law is this an example of?

A

(8.009g/14.35g) x 100 = 55.81%

Law of Constant Proportions

9
Q
Which pair of substances could be used to illustrate the law of multiple proportions?
A. SO2,H2O
B. SO, SO2
C. H2O, O2
D. CH4, C6H12O6
E. NaCl, KCl
A

B. SO, SO2

10
Q

What did Millikan discover and what was the experiment?

A

Charge of an electron; Oil Drop

11
Q

What did JJ Thomas discover and what was his experiment?

A

An atom is composed of smaller particals;Used magnetic and electric fields to measure mass-to-charge ratio of cathode ray particles.

12
Q

What did Rutherford discover and what was his experiment?

A

Most of atom’s empty space is located in the nucleus, which has a ver small volume/dense partial within the atom; gold foil experiment

13
Q

Define an Isotope

A

atoms of the element with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.

CHANGE IN MASS NUMBER
