Explain Characteristic Properties of Substances Flashcards
All substances have ___ and ___
Physical, Chemical
Physical Properties refer to:
Observed properties of the substance and those that can change the state without changing the identity of the substance
Boiling Liquid Water is an example of ___ because:
Physical Properties because the steam that is produced is a gaseous state of water with the same molecular formula as liquid water (Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen), its identity has not changed
Can vapor be condensed to form liquid water again?
Yes
Other Physical Properties include:
Density, Melting Point, Boiling Point, Malleability, Specific Heat Capacity, and Conductivity
What are Intensive Physical Properties?
Boiling Point, Melting Point, Luster
Intensive Physical Properties do not depend on the amount of the ___ present
Substance
What are Extensive Physical Properties?
Mass and Volume)
Extensive Physical Properties can change depending on the amount of ___ present
Matter
Chemical Properties depend on the ___ ___ of the substance
Chemical Reactivity
When a substance Chemically reacts with another substance, it results in:
Formation of a new substance with a different composition and identity
What’s an example of an Extensive Physical Property?
A sugar cube being cut in half, changing the volume of each half
How sugar reacts when a sugar cube is burned is considered a:
Chemical Property because the sugar combines with Oxygen, converting sugar to the new substances carbon dioxide and water
What is the ratio for Mass to Volume?
Density
Denser substances will sink, while less dense Substances will ___
Float
Solid water (ice) is ___ dense than liquid water
Less
Water is a ___ molecule
Polar
What has negatively charged (oxygen end) and positively charged (hydrogen end) sides?
Water
What allows Water to form Hydrogen Bonds and demonstrate both cohesive and adhesive properties?
The Polarity of Water
What is Cohesion?
A measure of how well similar molecules stick to each other or group together
Water Molecules are cohesive because:
They are attracted to other water molecules
The cohesiveness of Water allows it to travel through small capillaries without using ___
Energy
Cohesiveness creates surface tension by:
Creating a tight-knit layer of water molecules on the surface of any body of water
Breaking up the multitude of Hydrogen Bonds between Water requires a lot of energy, so water is said to have:
High specific heat and high heat of vaporization
