Mass, Volume, and Density Flashcards
(38 cards)
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Matter
Refer to the different properties of a substance that can change its state without changing the identity of the substance
Physical Properties
Amount of matter in an object
Mass
Measures the inertia of an object and is measured in grams (g)
Mass
Amount of space an object occupies and is measured in liters (L)
Volume
Mass of an object divided by its volume
Density
Measure of how much matter is packed into a given space and is measure in grams per liter (g/L)
Density
The density of a substance can be effected by its _____
Temperature
When a substance matter changes the ____ ____ also changes
Physical Property
Have a definite shape and volume
Solids
Least compressible state of matter as molecules are packed together in a tight pattern
Solids
Have a definite volume but take the shape of their container
Liquids
More compressible than solid as molecules are not packed tightly
Liquids
Have neither definite shape nor volume
Gas
Most compressible state of matter as molecules are far apart from each other
Gas
State of matter that is often found in stars
Plasma
Gas that is ionized
Plasma
Electrons have been stripped from the atoms
Ionized
Phase of a substance is dependent on 2 conditions
Temperature and Pressure
Measure of average kinetic energy of the molecules in substance
Temperature
The ____ the temp the more energy the molecules have (move faster) and the more space they take up
Higher
Measure of the force exerted on an object by the surrounding atmosphere
Pressure
The ____ the pressure the more molecules are forced together
Higher
The higher the pressure the more molecules are forced together this will cause water to change from ___ to _____
Gas to Liquid
