(19 cards)
How many types of water are there? What are they?
2 types, fresh water & saltwater
What is the chemical composition of water
H2O
Define a liquid
A state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape
What are the three states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas
Write the formula for density
D=MV
What is mass?
Objects weight
Write the formula for volume
V=LWH
Write the formula for mass?
M=DV
Define solubility and give an example
Ability of one substance to dissolve in another
EX: Sugar dissolving in water
Define ductility and give an example
Ability to be pulled into a wire
Ex: Copper pulled into a wire for electricity
Define malleability and give an example
Ability to be rolled or pulled into a sheet
Ex: sheet metal used on a car
Define thermal conductivity
Rate at which heat is transferred
What is a chemical property
Describes matter in its ability to change into new matter
What are two chemic properties of matter and give an example for each
1) Reactivity with O2 -> Ex: Rust
2) flammability -> Ex: Oil burning
What is surface tension and give and example
A force that acts on particles at the surface of a liquid
Ex: paper clipfloating on water
What is viscosity?
Resistance to flow -> high viscosity= slow flow low=fast
What is adhesion and give an example
Attraction between H2O and something else
Ex: H2O sticking to the penny
What is cohesion and give an example
Attraction between H2O molecules
ex: H2O sticking to itself to form a bubble
What is capillary action and give an example
Property of H2O that allows it to travel upward because of attraction between molecules
Ex: Water moving up the paper towel
