Chemistry Flashcards
Water use controlled by the actual end user
Direct water use
No fixed volume or shape
Gas
Definite volume but no fixed shape
Liquid
Fixed volume and fixed shape
Solid
Water found on top of the ground
Surface water
Water collected underground in porous rock
Ground water
Separating liquid substances based on differences in their boiling points
Distillation
Separating solid particles from a liquid by passing the mixture through a material that retains the solid particles
Filtration
Water changing from a liquid to a gas state, leaving impurities dissolved in it behind
Evaporation
Properties that can be observed and measured without changing the chemical makeup of the substance
Physical properties
Physical properties
Density Color Melting point Taste Odor Boiling point
Contains relatively larger particles that settle out
Suspension
Contains particles large enough to reflect light but too small to settle out
Colloid
Contains particles uniformly spread throughout too small to reflect light or settle out
Solution
Anything that occupies space and has mass
Matter
The smallest particle possessing the properties of an element
An atom
Matter that is made up of only one kind of atom
Element
A substance composed of atoms of two or more elements
Compound
The smallest individual particle of a compound that retains the properties of that compound
Molecule
The starting substances in a chemical equation
Reactants
The substances formed in a chemical equation
Products
Like charges
Repel
Unlike charges
Attract
Are positively charged and found in the nucleus
Protons
Are negatively charged and found in the electron cloud
Electrons
Have no charge and found in the nucleus
Neutrons
For any atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of
Electrons
An atom that has lost or gained an electron and thus has a charge
Ion
Heterogenous mixtures _____ have a uniform composition
Do not
Homogenous mixtures _____ have a uniform composition
Do
Substances that will not dissolve in water noticeably
Insoluble
Contains more solute than could usually be dissolved at that temperature
Supersaturated
Contains less dissolved solute than the amount that the solvent can normally hold at that temperature
Unsaturated
Contains the maximum amount of solute that would normally dissolve at that temperature
Saturated
The dissolving agent
Solvent
The substance that gets dissolved
Solute
As temperature increases gas solubility
Decreases
As temperature increases solid solubility
Increases
Water molecules are said to be ______ which means that they have an uneven distribution of electrical charge. One end of the molecule has a partial ______ charge and the other end has a partial ______ charge.
Polar
Positive
Negative
“like dissolves like” means that polar water molecules are attracted to other _____ substances. The water molecules ______ charged end is attracted to go the crystal ______ and vice versa .
Polar
Negatively
Cations
Soft metal used at one time for paint and water pipes. It’s a concern to our health.
Lead
Metal that is liquid at room temp. can be absorbed through the skin. A concern to our health.
Mercury
pH values greater than 7.0 have OH- ion
