law of multiple proportion

9
Q

state that regardless of the amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass

A

law of definite proportions

10
Q

12
Q

Compare and contrast chemical property and physical property

A

Compare: both are characteristics of substances.
Contrast: a physical property can be observed without changing the composition of the substance. A chemical property is the ability or tendency of a substance to change into another substance.

13
Q

Compare and contrast substance and mixture

A

Compare: both are kinds of matter
Contrast: A substance cannot be separated into other substances by physical means. A mixture can be separated into two or more substances.
