Chem Final Sem 1 Flashcards
Creation Mandate: What is it where do you find it
What God wants us to do: Create products and solve problems, Weigh the consequences of actions, Seek a balance, Love neighbors
Scientific models: What are they? What are they used for
Simplifies something in the world to explain, describe, or represent
When was chemistry first taught as an academic discipline
1800
Biblical worldview
How someone sees and interprets life using Bible as guide
Quantitative data
Data with numbers, measurable
Qualitative data
Data without numbers, not measurable
Scientific method
Observation
Question
Hypothesis
Experiment
Data collection
Conclusion
Retest
DIfference between theory and hypothesis
Hypothesis: Suggested solution to problem, testable, written as if… then, predicts outcome
Theory: Principle formed to explain things already shown in data
Observation
What do you see happening
Data
Info/fact/stats collected for analysis
You set up an experiment to test the idea that the amount of nitrogen in the soil affects plant growth
What is your hypothesis
What would be the experimental and control group be
What is the dependent and independent variables
Hypothesis: If there is a lot of nitrogen, then plant growth improves
Experimental: Soil with a lot of nitrogen
Control: Normal soil
Dependent: Plant growth
Independent: Nitrogen, soil
Ex nihilo
Out of nothing
Density formula
Mass over volume
Physical property
We can measure without changing material into another substance
Chemical property
How matter acts when other materials are combined together
How material changes composition when enough energy is added to it
Conductivity
Ability of material to transfer heat or electricity between its particles
Ductility
Describes how easily materials can be drawn into thin wires
Malleability
How easily material can be hammered into shapes
Luster
based on whether the mineral is metallic or non-metallic
Physical change
Example: Spoiled milk or cut up paper
Change in physical properties
Substance remains same
Start with A end with A
Paper that is cut
Chemical change
Example: Spoiled milk or cut up paper
Substance changes
New substance formed
Composed of different particles
Start with A end with B
Spoiled milk
Mixtures: Heterogenous/homogenous/suspensions what are they
Hetero/suspension: Parts settle out bc gravity
Homo: Uniform mixture of 2+ pure substances
Diatomic element & Monatomic element & Polyatomic
Dia: O2, H2
Mon: Na, Ar
Poly: O3, S8
Polyatomic ion
groups of atoms covalently bonded together, but the group of atoms as a whole has a charge
