What is chemisty?
the physical science that deals with composition properties and changes in matter
define WHMIS
workplace hazardous materials information system
changes in matter can be
physical changes
chemical changes
what is a physical change
no new substance is formed
what is chemical change?
at least one new substance is formed
define empirical knowledge
observable (from 5 senses)
can be qualitative or quantitative
define theoretical knowledge
explains the observables (ideas)
define mechanical separation
pick out parts of a mixture by hands or with a magnet
define settling separation
let components settle to the bottom of a container and then collect
define floatation separation
add chemicals to a mixture so that the desired components float and can be skimmed off
define filtration separation
pass heterogeneous mixture through a filter or a screen
define extraction seperation
combine a mixture with a solvent that dissolves the components
define distillation separation
boil a liquid to separate components based on boiling points
define crystallization separation
cool or concentrate a solution to get a dissolved solid
define chromatography separation
a mixture (pigment) is carried by a solvent through a porous material (filter paper) and different components are visible at different locations based on molecular size and mass
mechanical separation example
pick out parts of a mixture by hand or magnet
settling separation example
water treatment facility uses settling techniques
filtration separation example
furnace filter, vacuum filter, chemical filtration apparatus
distillation separation example
