(50 cards)
K and C have the same ________
Change of magnitude (boiling and freezing are both 100 degrees apart)
Kelvin is adjusted so it can never be _____
Negative
Formula to convert celcius to kelvin
K = C + 273.15
All units of the metric system can be broken into units of ____
SI
The unit of volume (m^3) is derived from the unit of length m, most metric volumes are expressed in terms of the unit ____
Liters
1 L =
1000cm^3 = 1dm^3
the closeness the measurement is to the actual value
accuracy
closeness of a set of measurements to one another
precision
errors in measurement that are consistently in the same direction
systematic errors
produce different values in random errors
random error
Properties of matter can either be dependent or independent of the amount of matter present
extensive property and intensive property
1 ml
1 cm^3
all scientific measurements are reported such that all digits are certain to the last, which is an estimate
uncertainty
extensive property
Dependent ( mass, volume)
intensive property
independent ( density, boiling point, color)
matter
anything that has mas and takes up space
All matter is composed of
particles
Shape of particles in matter determines
physical and chemical properties
The shape that particular form of matter takes is dependent on the force of
intermolecular forces
Energy can’t be created or destroyed but change only change forms
law of conservation of energy
In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed
law of conservation of mass
all samples of a compound, regardless of origin, will have the same ratio of its constituent elements
law of definite proportions
when two elements of A and B form two different compounds, the ratio of the masses of element B that combine with one gram of element A will always be a small whole number
law of multiple proportions
John Daltons four observations relating to atomic theory
- All elements are composed of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms.
- All atoms of a single element are the same and have properties that distinguish them from other
elements. - Atoms combine in simple, whole number ratios to form compounds.
- Atoms of one element cannot change into atoms of another. Chemical reactions only change how atoms are bonded together
