Chapter 3 Flashcards
(25 cards)
Physical forms in which all matter naturally exists on earth
States of Matter
Gaseous state of a substance that is a liquid or a solid at room temperature
Vapor
Characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the samples composition
Physical Property
Physical property that is dependent upon the amount of substance pressure
Extensive Property
Physical property that remains the same no matter how much substance is present
Intensive Property
Ability or inability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more new substances
Chemical Property
Change that alters a substance without changing composition
Physical Change
Transition of matter from one state to another
Phase Change
One or more substances changing into new substances
Chemical Change
States that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but is conserved
Law of Conservation of Mass
Physical blend of two or more pure substances in any proportion in which each substance retains properties
Mixture
Does not have a uniform composition and substance remains distinct
Heterogeneous Mixture
Has uniform composition throughout and has a single phase
Homogeneous Mixture
Uniform mixture that contains solids, liquids, or gases
Solution
Technique uses porous barrier to separate solids from liquids
Filtration
Separates a mixture of two liquids with different boiling points
Distillation
Separation technique that produces pure solid particles of a substance from a solution that contains the dissolved substances
Crystallization
Process when a solid changes directly to a gas
Sublimation
Components of a mixture based on the tendency of each component to traveler be drawn across the surface of a fixed substrate
Chromatography
Pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by physical or chemical means
Element
Chart that organizes all known elements into rows and columns by increasing atomic number
Periodic Table
Combination of two or more different elements
Compound
Regardless of amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass
Law of Definite Proportions
Percent determined by ratio of mass of each element to the total mass of the compound
Percent by Mass
