Bim 1 Flashcards
What is mass?
Is the measure of the amount of matter than an object has
Why is it more complicated to measure liquid compared to solid?
Because the liquids can’t be placed directly on the scale
How is fluid measured?
When a container is placed on a balance and it’s measured
How can the volume of an object be measured?
With measuring cups, pipperties, test tubes and burettes the volume of a solid is length, width and height
Why could the length be measured in meters and volume in cubic meters?
Because the multiplication of three (width, length and height
What type of measurement scale can we use when we want to measure the length of a small body?
Centimeters, the unit of volume is the cubic centimeters
How can we measure the volume of an irregular solid?
We Use a measuring instrument for liquids you put a certain volume of water, and drop it in, the volume of fluid that moves or increases in the measuring instrument is the volume of the irregular solid
What does the kinetic molecular theory explain?
The change in the state of matter, and the other phenomena that occur in nature
What are intensive properties?
Are related to the internal chemical structure of matter, don’t depend on the amount of material that and object or substance has.
What is an example of one of the mosquees properties of matter?
If you cut a sheet of white paper in half, the pieces will be smaller but it will remain white, so we say that color is an intensive property
Explain the basic concept of condensation
It’s the change of state of gas to liquid
What is the melting point?
The temperature in which a solid substance is heated without changing its physical state, but when it reaches a certain temperature it will become a liquid
What name is given to the temperature in which a liquid becomes a gas?
Boiling point
How can we measure density?
Mass/ volume
What is an extensive property?
Depends on the amount of matter that is being measured
- volume
- mass
