Q

Explain how to use the displacement method to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object

A
  1. Add water to a measuring container and record the volume.
  2. Place the object in the water. Record the new volume.
  3. Subtract the first volume from the second volume. The difference represents the volume of the object.

Q

What is a physical property of matter

A

Physical properties of matter are properties that can be measured/observed without matter changing to an entirely different substance.

Physical properties are often things you can detect with your senses.

Gas
No fixed volume or shape
26
Crystalline Solids
Have particles that are arranged in a regular repeating pattern Ex. Tabe Salt
27
Amorphous Solid
Have particles that are arranged more-or-less at random Ex. cotton candy
28
Pressure
The amount of force pushing against a given area
29
What is the kinetic theory of matter
Particles of matter are in constant motion.
30
What is the relationship between the kinetic energy of partials and the forces of attraction between partials
Particles of solids have the least kinetic energy and particles of gases have the most kinetic energy
31
Define state of change
- A change of state occurs whenever matter changes from one state to another - Changes of state are physical changes in matter - They are reversible changes that do not change matter’s chemical makeup or chemical properties
32
Process that change matter to a liquid state
Melting, Freezing, Sublimation(solid to gas), Deposition(gas to solid), Condensation, Evaporation
33
What is a mixture
A mixture is a physical blend of two or more components, each of which retains its own identity and properties in the mixture.
34
Are mixtures chemically combined
NO
35
Homogeneous Mixture
A mixture in which the composition is uniform (evenly mixed) throughout the mixture.
36
Heterogeneous Mixture
A mixture in which the composition is not uniform (not evenly mixed) throughout the mixture
37
What is a phase
A separate layer of a heterogeneous mixture
38
Examples of Homogeneous mixtures
Air, Coffee, Apple Juice
39
Examples of a Heterogeneous Mixture
Vegetable soup, Chocolate Chip Cookie dough, granite
40
Why is it important to separate materials from a mixture
In a chemical reaction, it is important to isolate the component(s) of interest from all the other materials so they can be further characterized
41
What are the ways (7) mixtures can be separated
Filtration, Decanting, Distillation, Magnetism, Evaporation, Centrifuge, Chromatography
42
Filtration
Separation of a mixture’s components through differences in particle size
43
Decanting
A fancy term for separating two components by pouring
44
Distillation
Used to separate two liquids based on their differences in boiling points
45
Magnetism
Used to separate magnetic substances
46
Evaporation
Removing a liquid to leave a solid behind
47
Centrifuge
Separates substances of different densities using a fast rotational motion
48
Chromatography
Separates two substances by using a mobile phase and a stationary phase
49
What is an element
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance. - It is represented on the periodic table by a symbol Ex. Au is Gold
50
How many elements naturally occurring elements do we know of
92
51
When did scientists begin discovering all of the elements
500 years ago
52
What is an atom
The smallest particle of an element that still has the properties of that element
53
How are atoms related to elements
All the atoms of an element are like one another and are different from the atoms of all other elements
54
What are compounds
A unique and pure substance that forms a new substance when two or more elements combine chemically
55
What is a molecule
A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that still has the compound’s properties
56
What is a chemical property
Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter.
57
Examples of a chemical property
Reactivity and Flammability
58
Reactivity
The ability of matter to react chemically with other substances
59
Flammability
The ability of matter to burn
60
What happens in any chemical change
Occurs whenever matter changes into an entirely different substance with different chemical properties
61
List 5 signs that a chemical change has occurred
Release of bubbles Change of color Produce of an odor Release in heat or light Production of loud sounds
62
Why can chemical changes often not be reversed
Chemical changes result in different substances, they often cannot be undone - Some chemical changes can be reversed, but only by other chemical changes
63
What is involved in all chemical reactions
All chemical reactions involve both reactants and products
64
Reactants
Substances that start a chemical reaction
65
Products
Substances that are produced in a reaction
66
How are chemical reactions written
Formula : Reactants -----> Products
67
How are bonds involved in chemical reactions
Bonds break and reform during chemical reactions
68
How to reactants change into products during a chemical reaction
Reactants and Products contain the same atoms but they are rearranged during the reaction, so reactants and products are different substances
69
How can you tell if a change in matter has caused a chemical reaction
Change in color Change in temp Formation of gas Formation of a precipitate
70
What is a chemical symbol
One or Two letter designation of an element
71
What are compounds
Combinations of two or more elements
72
What is a chemical formula
An expression that shows the elements in a compound and the relative proportion of those elements
73
Where do the names of many elements come from
The Latin name for the element
74
What is the law of conservation of mass
Matter cannot be created or destroyed
75
Describe an example of the law of conservation of mass
You could find the mass of a quantity of liquid water. Then you could freeze the water and find the mass of ice. The mass before and after freezing would be the same, showing that mass is conserved when matter changes state.
