Chemistry Gr8 Unit Test Flashcards
(23 cards)
Qualitative vs Quantitative
Qualitative: described and compared using words
Quantitative: can be measured numerically
Density calculations
Density = m/v
Mass= dxv
Volume= m/d
Chemical versus physical properties
Physical property a characteristic is such as colour density or melting point that you can observe or measure without changing what it’s made of
Chemical property: a trait that describes how a substance reacts or transforms into something
Mass, Volume Density Units
Mass= g/kg
Volume= ml/cm3
Density= g/ml OR g/cm3
Compare densities; sink or float
Higher density= sink
Lower density= float
What can affect density
Mass
Volume
Temperature
Finding volume by difference
Step1. Fill a graduated cylinder with water and record volume
Step2: Submerge the object in the water
Step3. Record new volume
Step4: Subtract the initial volume from new volume; object = v2- v1
Finding volume of a cube/rectangle
Volume= Length x Width x Height
Physical vs Chemical changes
Physical changes: an alteration of a substances form or state, whether that’s cutting melting or freezing
Chemical: a process in which a substance turns into another substance for example, rusting or burning
Law of Conservation
- matter cannot be created nor destroyed
ex. if you burn a piece of wood in a closed container, the mass of wood + oxygen before burning is = to the mass of the ash, gases and remaining materials after burning
Using Periodic Table to find…
Number of protons= atomic number
Number of neutrons= mass number - atomic number
Number of electrons (ion) = atomic number - change - (atom) = atomic#
Ion change= number of protons - electrons
Subatomic Particles
Charges:
Protons= positive
Neutrons= no charge/neutral
Electrons= negative

Kinetic Molecular Theory
- All matter is made of tiny particles.
- These particles are always in motion. (Solids: particles vibrate in place. Liquids: particles slide past each other. Gases: particles move around quickly and freely.
- Adding heat/energy makes prodigal more faster.
