1.1 Flashcards
Accuracy
Now closely a measurement aligns with correct value
Properties of matter: solid
Has fixed shape and volume
Properties of matter: liquid
Takes shape of container
Properties of matter: gas
Expands to fill container
Mass vs. Weight
Mass: measure of the amount of matter in it
Weight: Force that gravity exerts on an object
-The weight of an object changes as the force of gravity changes, but its mass does not
Law of conservation of matter
Summarizes many scientific observations about matter
It states that there is no detectable change in the total quantity of matter present when matter converts from one type to another or changes among solid liquid or gaseous state
Element * physical state and composition
Pure substance that cannot be Brocken down into simpler substances by chemical changes
Gold, sulfur, oxygen ,copper
Compound * physical state and composition
Pure substances that are comprised of two or more elements
Orange, mercury (II) oxide, water
Homogenous mixture * physical state and composition
A mixture with a composition that varies from point to point
Italian dressing , clnoctate chip cookies, granite
Heterogeneous mixture * physical state and composition
Aka solutions exhibit uniform composition and appears visually same throughout
Air, maple syrup, gasoline, salt in water
Define atom
The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element and can enter into a chemical combination
Examples of atoms
Examples of molecules
molecule consists of two or more atoms joined by strong forces called chemical bonds
Water, carbon dioxide and glucose
Matter: does it have constant properties and composition?
If no, then it is a mixture
If yes, then it s a pure substance
Is the mixture uniform throughout?
Yes: homogeneous
No; heterogeneous
Can the pure substance be simplified?
No: then it is an element
Yes: then its a compound
Base units of the SI system:length
Meter (m)
Base unit of the si system: mass
Kilogram (kg)
Base units of the si system: time
Second (s)
Base units of the si system: temp
Kelvin (K)
base unit of the si :Electric current
Ampere (A )
Base units of the si system: amount of substance
Mole (mol)
Femto
f
1 f= 10^-15
1 *10^-15= 0.000000000000001
Pico
p
10^-12
1 picometer =1*10^-12 m
Nano
n
10^-9
4 nanograms= 4*10^-9 grams= 0.000000004 grams
Nano
n
10^-9
4 nanograms= 4*10^-9 grams= 0.000000004 grams
Micro
10^-6
1 microliter = 1*10^-6= 0.000001 L
Matter
Anything that takes up space and has mass
Physical property
Is a characteristic of matter that is not associated with a change in its chemical composition
Examples are density color hardness melting and boiling points And electrical conductivity
A physical change is
Change in the state of properties of matter without any accompanying change in the chemical identity of the substance is contained in the matter
Example is when you observe wax melting or when steam condenses into liquid water
Chemical property
The ability to change from one type of matter into another or the inability to change
Examples are flammability Texas City acidity and any other types of reactivity
Examples of chemical changes
When iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water forms to rust
