Study of composition of matter and the changes it undergoes
Aristotle
Continuous view
Scientific method
1700s
Observation, hypothesis, experimentation, analyzation
A. Lavoisier
Law of conservation of matter
Law of conservation of matter(mass)
In a chemical reaction matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Only change forms
Law
A brief statement or mathematical equation that summarizes a large amount of results and predicts future results
John Dalton
Atomic theory
Theory
Very detailed explanation of what is happening
Sir. F. bacon
Science is the answer. It will solve our problems
Rachel Carson
Wrote silent spring. Led to green chemistry
Green chemistry
Reduce waste
Safer solvents
Physical properties/changes
Characteristics displayed without change in composition. Color, phys state, odor, etc.
dissolve. It disperses doesn’t change.
Chemical properties/changes
Rust, fire, inert, chemical reactions
Kinetic energy in states of matter
Solid lowest
Liquid middle
Gas highest
Solid
Particles packed closely together in fixed positions. Incompressible.
Independent shape and volume
Liquid
Particles in close contact but freely nice past one another
Independent volume
Gas
Particles separate from one another. Large gaps between particles. Compressible
Takes shape and volume of container
Adding sig fig
Answer may only have as many decimal places as the original value with the fewest
Multiplying sig fig
Answer may only have as many sig figs as original value with the fewest
Mixtures
Contain 2 or more pure substances not chemically combined. Fairly easy to seperate
Pure substances
Composed of one type of atom or molecule.
Heterogeneous mixture
Uneven distribution of components. Oil &water
Homogenous
Even distribution. Solutions
Milk; soda
