Q

What are the four indications of a chemical change?

A

1) change in color
2) change in energy (hotter, colder, giving off light
3) evolving of a gas (bubbles)
4) formation of a precipitate

Q

What are some ways to separate mixtures?

A

Magnetism
Distillation (boiling point)
Filtration (particle size)
Chromatography (affinity)

16
Q

What’s a heterogeneous mixture?

A

Can see individual particles

17
Q

What is a homogeneous mixture?

A

Can’t see individual particles

18
Q

What a direct relation? (Math)

A

One divided by the other gives a constant.
(y = kx)
graphs a straight line

19
Q

What is an inverse relation? (Math)

A

One multiplied by the other gives constant
y = k/x
Curved line

20
Q

What is the law of definite composition?

A

A chemical compound contains the same elements in exactly the same properties by mass regardless of sample size

21
Q

What is the law of multiple proportions?

A

Ratio of masses of elements in a compound is always a ratio of small whole numbers

22
Q

Who first came up with the idea of an atom?

A

Democritus

23
Q

What are Dalton’s 5 points

A

-All matter is composed of atoms
£All atoms of a given element are identical (size,mass,chem properties). Atoms of a specific element are diff from other elements.
£Atoms can’t be created divided or destroyed
-diff atoms combine in diff whole # ratios to form compounds
-in a chem rxn atoms are separated combined or rearranged

24
Q

Who performed the Cathode Ray Experiment?

A

J J Thompson

25
Q

What are 3 things learned from the cathode ray experiment?

A
  • all substances contain e-
  • electrons have mass
  • electrons have a negative charge
26
Q

Who preformed the golden foil experiment?

A

Rutherford

27
Q

What are three things learned from the gold foil experiment?

A
  • Nucleus is small (out of total atom)
  • nucleus has a positive charge
  • nucleus has high mass
28
Q

Who preformed the oil drop experiment?

A

Millikan

29
Q

What did the oil drop experiment teach us?

A

Electron mass

Other things in atom

30
Q

What is the approximate mass of an electron?

A

1/2000 the size of an H atom

31
Q

What is an isotope?

A

Atom with differing mass due to differing numbers of neutrons

32
Q

What is a mass number?

A

The sum of the neutrons and protons

33
Q

What is an ion?

A

A charged species

34
Q

What are the two kinds of ion?

A

Cation +

Anion -
