what type of properties does matter have
physical properties (touch, taste, smell, see) everything you can touch and see is matter (except light and electricity) all matter us made up of chemicals
how many elements are there
118, 98 occur naturally on earth, the remaining are synthetic elements. (artificial)
how are molecules made
by combining atoms (just like words combine to make a sentence)
a chemical reaction of 2 or more atoms in a definite proportion.
what are the two ways matter can be changed
a physical change - change in form for physical properties without chemical reaction (ice to water)
a chemical change - change in chemical makeup caused by chemical reactions that create new chemical substances , usually by combining or subtracting certain elements. (dying hair)
what are the two things all matter be classified as
a pure substance or a physical mixture
pure- chem combo of matter in definite (fixed) proportions. have unique properties (ex: water and salt)
physical- combo of matter in any proportion (ex salt water)
solutions, suspensions and emulsions are all ____
physical mixtures
difference between solution, solute and solvent?
solution- stable, uniform mixture of two or more substances
solute- substance that is dissolved in the solution
solvent- the substance that dissolves the solute and makes the solution.
solute + solvent= solution
ex: when salt is dissolved in water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. salt water is the solution
all ___ are miscible or immiscible
LIQUIDS
what is the difference between miscible and immiscible
miscible liquids are mutually soluble. they can be mixed together to form solutions. ex: water and alcohol (nail polish remover) when mixed they will stay mixed, forming a solution
immiscible - liquids that cannot mix to form a stable solution. ex: oil and water
what is a suspension?
unstable and separate over time ex:glitter in nail polish and calamine lotion
what is an emulsion / emulsifier ?
emulsion is an unstable mix of products that will not stay mixed plus an emulsifier which binds the two unwilling products. they can separate but over a long period of time. ex: skin cream, contains oil and water)
what is (W/O and O/W)?
W/O= water in oil emulsion. water droplets surrounded by oil. greasier than O/W because water is hidden (styling creams)
O/W= oil in water emulsion. oil droplets surrounded by water. not as greasy because oil is hidden.
what products contain pH
only products that contain water
pH scale
measures acidity and alkalinity of substances. has a scale from 0-14
7= neutral
below 7= acidic solution
above 7= alkaline solution
oxidation vs reduction
oxidation= +oxygen and -hydrogen
reduction= +hydrogen and -oxygen
what is it called when chemical reactions release energy in the form of heat
exothermic reaction
(exo=exit) (thermo=heat)
what is naturalization and why is it important
repairs natural pH of skin and hair
restores bodys equilibrium
how should you store and transport chemicals
in their original containers and stored away from each other to avoid reaction
