mixtures

A

variable ratio

19
Q

two kinds of pure substances

A

element, compound

20
Q

element

A

one type of atom

21
Q

compound

A

two or more different atoms chemically bonded

22
Q

two types of mixtures

A

homogeneous/heterogeneous

23
Q

homogeneous

A

the same throughout; dissolved (saltwater)

24
Q

heterogeneous

A

the sample may be different depending where you take it in the container

25
Three states of matter
solid, liquid, gas
26
solid
rigid shape, incompressible, fixed volume, usually particles tightly packed and organized
27
liquid
indefinite shape but fixed volume, incompressible flows, usually less tightly packed than solids, less organized
28
gas
indefinite shape and volume, flows, particles far away from each other, disorganized, compressible
29
chemical reaction
a change in which new substances are formed
30
reactant
a starting substance
31
product
a result of the chemical change
32
physical property
characteristics that describe a substance
33
physical change
a change that does not effect the composition of the substance reversible or irreversible
34
chemical change indicators (5)
``` color change change in temp gas is produced solid precipitate is formed odor produced ```
35
two ways to separate a mixture
filtration or distillation
36
filtration
separates solid from a liquid
37
distillation
liquid is boiled to produce a vapor that is then condensed into a liquid
38
chemical property
characteristics that refer to the ability to form new substances
39
chemical change
a change which produces new substances (same as chemical reaction)
40
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed | During any physical or chemical change, the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the reactants
