29
Q

Dimensional Analysis

A

a method to convert units

30
Q

Steps for Dimensional Analysis

A
  1. Start w given value
  2. Set up conversion factor so units cancel out on the diagonal
  3. Put a 1 w/ bigger unit value
  4. Multiply across the top: Divide across the bottom
  5. Sig Figs
31
Q

Dimensional Analysis Requirements

A

Every Number MUST have a unit
Conversion Units are exact
Check Sig Figs, circle Atoms

32
Q

Derived Units

A

combination of 2 units or a squared or cubed unit

33
Q

Scientific Method Steps

A
  1. Observe
  2. Hypothesis
  3. Experiments
  4. Analysis
  5. Conclusion
34
Q

Pure Substance

A

have a uniform and definite composition

  • gold, silver, helium, oxygen
  • elements and compounds
35
Q

Mixture

A

two+ pure substances physically mixed together

-no definite composition

36
Q

Heterogenous Mixture

A
  • no uniform composition
  • can see pieces that make it up
  • trailmix
37
Q

Homogenous Mixture

A

parts of the mixture cannot be separated

-sugar

38
Q

Law of Conservation of Mass

A

in any chemical or physical change, matter cannot be created or destroyed
