Ch 3 Test Flashcards
Chemical Property vs. Physical Property
Chemical- ability or inability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more other substances
Physical- can be observed or measured without changing the samples composition
Substance vs. Mixture
Substance- matter with a uniform and unchanging composition
Mixture- two or more substances that combine but still retain their individual chemical properties
Gas vs. Vapor
Gas- flows to conform shape of container and expands to fill entire volume of the container
Vapor- a gas that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature ex: steam at room temperature is liquid
Homogenous vs. Heterogeneous mixtures
Homogenous mixture- constant composition throughout
Heterogeneous mixture- does not blend throughout- individual substances remain distinct
Extensive vs. Intensive
Extensive- dependent on the amount of substance present. Cannot be used to help identify a substance ex: mass, length, volume
Intensive- independent of the amount of substance present. Can be used to identify a substance ex: malleability, change of state
Law of Definite Proportions equation:
mass percentage of an element (%) =(mass of element/ mass of compound) x 100%
Solids-
Has its own ______ ______and _______ and are nearly incompressible
definite shape, volume
Liquids-
Particles can ______ _____ one another
move past
Gas-
Flows to conform the shape of the container and _____ to fill the entire _____ of the container
expands, volume
Vapor-
A gas that is generally a _____ or ______ at room temperature
liquid, gas
Physical properties-
A characteristic of matter that can be observed without ____________________________________
changing the samples composition
Chemical properties-
The ability or inability of a substance to _____ with or change into one or more _______
Combine, substance
Physical change-
A change in the ______ of a substance that leaves the composition of the substance _____
appearance, unchanged
If my car rusts, what are the reactants and products?
Reactants- iron & oxygen
Products- rust
What law states…
that mass can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction- it is conserved
Law of Conservation of Mass
