1B Matter and Measurements Flashcards
What is the rule when measuring?
record all known plus one estimate
Multiplying or dividing
Least number of sig figs
Adding or subtraction
Least number of decimal places
Temperature
a measure of the average kinetic energy (movement) of a body.
What are the three scales of temperature?
Celsius, Kelvins, Farenheit
Celsius to Kelvins
K = C + 273
celsius to F
9/5 (C) + 32
Fahrenheit to C
5/9 (F - 32)
The calorie
The amount of heat req. to raise the T of 1 g of water from 14.5 oC to 15.5 oC.
1 food calorie =
1000 calories (1 kcal)
1 cal=…….J
4.184 J
The amount of heat required depends on?
How much things have, mass and change in temperature
q or the amount of heat=
(m)(C)(change in T)
Density
is an identifying property of a pure substance. The density of a pure substance never changes at a given temperature
Formula for density
D=m/v
Density of pure water
1.00g/mL
