A

a variable that is kept the same during an experiment

20
Q

Combustion

A

a chemical reaction between substances, usually including oxygen and usually accompanied by the generation of heat and light

21
Q

Conduction

A

transmission through or by means of a conductor also the transfer of heat through matter

22
Q

Dependent variable

A

the variable being tested and measure in an experiment

23
Q

Product

A

species formed from chemical reactions

24
Q

Electron Configuration

A

2,8,8

25
Q

Carbon dating

A

all living things absorb carbon from the atmosphere and food sources around them. When the plant/animal dies they stop absorbing that carbon but the radioactive carbon they’ve accumulated continues to decay

A

hydrogen + salt

34
Q

Base + acid =

A

water + salt

35
Q

Carbonate + acid =

A

carbon dioxide + water + salt

36
Q

Endothermic reaction

A

absorbs heat and cools the surroundings

37
Q

Exothermic reaction

A

releases heat causing temperature of immediate surroundings to rise

38
Q

Magnesium + oxygen =

A

magnesium oxide

39
Q

Conservation of mass during reactions

A

the mass of one element at the start = the mass of the same element at the end

40
Q

V

A

I x R

41
Q

R

A

V divided by I

42
Q

I

A

V divided by R

43
Q

Factors of energy through an electric circuit

A

Electrons move and energy is transferred from the battery to the components of the circuit. Most energy is transferred to the light globe (or other energy user) where it is transformed to heat and light or some other form of energy.
