Ap Chem. Ch.1 Flashcards
What is the opposite of compound formation?
Decomposition
Matter with fixed composition and distinct proportion (definite composition).
Pure substances
A compound always consists of the same combination of elements (ex: water is always 11% H and 89% O)
Law of Constant (definite) proportions.
Combination of two or more pure substances (in definite or variable composition).
Mixtures
Do not have uniform composition, properties and appearance. (example:sand)
Heterogeneous mixture
Uniform throughout (example: air)
Homogeneous mixture
Measured without changing the identity of the substance.
physical properties (example: color, density, odor, melting point, solubility etc.)
Properties that describe how substances react or change to form different substances.
Chemical properties
example hydrogen burns in oxygen
- do not depend on amount of substance present (example: temperature, melting point ect.)
- They give an idea of the composition of a substance.
Intensive properties
- Properties that Depend on quantity of substance present (example mass, volume etc.)
- They give an indication of the quantity of a substance present
Extensive property
Substance changes physical appearance without altering its identity (example: changes of state).
Physical change
Senses transform into chemically different substances (example: Identity changes, decomposition of water, explosion of nitrogen triiodide)
Chemical changes
Type of technique to separate mixtures in which you remove solid from liquid
Filtration
Type of technique to separate mixtures in which you boil one or more components of the Mixture.
Distillation
Type of technique to separate mixtures in which you exploit solubility of components
Chromatography
