What is Law of Conversion
Weighing Substances before and after chemical change. What ever you start with is conserved.
What is Matter?
Anything with mass and volume
Give an everyday example of law of conversion
Electricity conductivity
Give on chemical reaction that law of conversion illitraites.
melting point + boiling point
Describe the differances of solids liquids and gas.
Solid is ridgy, liquid is a in compressible fluid, and gas is a compressible fluid.
What are the 3 states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas
Give an example of each state
Solid=Ice
Liquid=water
Gas=steam
What is a physical property?
A characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.
Give 3 examples of a physical property
Density, Hardness, melting point and boiling point.
What is a chemical property?
A specific characteristic of a substance like an element or a compound relating to how much it can change as a result to a reaction.
Give 3 examples of a chemical property.
Flammability, toxicity, and acidity.
What is a physical change?
When the shape, size, or state of the matter changes, but the substance is still essentially the same.
Give 2 examples of a physical change
Melting and Freezing
What is a chemical change?
A change of materials into another new material with different properties and one or more that one new substances are formed.
Give 2 examples of a chemical change.
Burning or rusting
Describe the difference between a pure and impure substance.
Pure substances are composed of a single type of atom or molecule. Impure substances are made of different types of atoms and molecules.
What are elements?
A simple substance that can not be broken down into smaller parts or change into another substance.
Give 3 examples of an element
Oxygen, helium, sodium
Define Endothermic
Needs or gains energy from its surroundings. The temperature of something will drop.
Define extothermic
Loses energy due to its surroundings. The temperature will rise.
What are compounds?
A substance made up of 2 or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio.
Give 3 examples of a compound
Sugar, Salt, Water
What is a mixture?
A combination of 2 or more substances in any proportions.
Describe the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures.
A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components that make up the mixture but not evenly dissolved through the mixture.
