AP Chemistry: Chemical Foundations Flashcards
Takes up space, has mass, exhibits inertia
Matter
The study of matter and energy and more importantly, the changes between them
Chemistry
Hypotheses that are assembled in an attempt at explaining “why” and “what” happened
Theory
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass of reactants = mass of products
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms
Convert 1 dm^3 to liters
1 L
Concert 1 cm^3 to mL
1 mL
Correctness; agreement of a measurement with the true value
Accuracy
Reproducibility; degree of agreement among several measurements
Precision
Equal probability of a measurement being high or low
Random or indeterminate error
Errors that occur in the same direction each time
Systematic or determinate errors
What is density?
Mass over volume
Name the state of matter:
Rigid; definite shape and volume
Solid
Name the state of matter:
Definite volume, but takes on the shape of the container
Liquid
Name the state of matter:
No definite volume and takes on the shape of the container
Gas
