Q

Chemical Reaction

A

Always forms a new substance

Ex: burning wood changes the wood into ash, CO2, H2O, and heat

17
Q

Solid

A

Rigid, has fixed shape and volume

18
Q

Liquid

A

Has definite volume but takes shape of the container it’s in
Flows easily
Not compressible

19
Q

Gas

A

Has not fixed volume, takes the shape and volume of container
Flows easily
Compressible

20
Q

A

Reactants —–> products

21
Q

Law of Conservation of Mass

A

In every physical or chemical reaction, no mass is lost or gained

22
Q

Precise

A

Measurements that are close together

23
Q

Accurate

A

Measurements that are close to true value

24
Q

Rules for significant figures

A
  1. All nonzero digits are significant
  2. All zeros between nonzeros are significant
  3. Zeros to the right of a nonzero with a decimal are significant
  4. All digits in the coefficient of scientific notation are significant
  5. All zeros to the left of the first nonzero are NOT significant
  6. Zeros to the right of a nonzero WITHOUT A DECIMAL are NOT significant
25
Q

Exact Numbers

A

Have an infinite number of significant figures because there is no estimated digit

26
Q

Measured Numbers

A
  1. 5 x 3= 8
  2. 895 x 0.35= 1.4

THIS IS THE KEYWORD

answer can only have as many figures as the LEAST significant number in the problem
