32
Q

What is the process when a solid turns to a gas?

A

sublimation

33
Q

What is the process when a gas turns to a liquid?

A

condensation

34
Q

What is the process when a liquid turns to a solid?

A

freezing

35
Q

What is the process when a gas turns to a solid?

A

deposition

36
Q

What is a solid?

A

It has a definite shape and definite volume, the particles are tightly packed with very little movement. They are almost incompressible.

37
Q

What is a liquid?

A

It has an indefinite shape, but a definite volume, the particles are further apart than a solid, but not as loose as a gas, and they can slide over one another. They are almost incompressible.

38
Q

What is a gas?

A

It has an indefinite shape and volume, the particles are very far apart with little to no attraction between them and they move rapidly and randomly. They are readily compressible.

39
Q

What is evaporation?

A

it occurs below the boiling point, only occurs at the liquid’s surface.

40
Q

What is boiling?

A

It occurs at the boiling point, and occurs throughout the whole liquid. It is a cooling process because a liquid cannot go above the boiling point.

41
Q

What is a Physical Change?

A

Any change that doesn’t alter the chemical composition of a substance.

42
Q

What is a chemical change?

A

it is also called a chemical reaction; a change in the chemical composition of a substance. It involves breaking chemical bonds and reforming new bonds.

43
Q

What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?

A

It tells that matter is neither created or destroyed. It is conserved. It changes only in form.

44
Q

What are the 5 indicators that a chemical reaction occurred?

A
  • change in color
  • change in odor
  • formation of a precipitate
  • production of a gas
  • change in energy
45
Q

What is an exothermic reaction?

A

Heat and energy are given off by the reaction. Example is gasoline or oil burning.

46
Q

What is an endothermic reaction and what is an example of one?

A

energy is absorbed and it gets colder. Icepack is an example.

47
Q

What is the rule regarding reactants and products?

A

The total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in any chemical reaction.

48
Q

What is a solution?

A

A homogenous mixture with only one phase.

49
Q

What is a mixture?

A

Two or more substances physically combined, and physically separated. Most natural materials are mixtures.

50
Q

What is a heterogenous mixture?

A

A mixture composed of more than one phase. They are not uniform in composition, and the components aren’t evenly distributed throughout the sample.

51
Q

What are the two types of mixtures?

A

Homogenous and heterogenous

52
Q

What are two types of pure substances?

A

elements and compounds

53
Q

What are two types of heterogenous mixtures?

A

colloids and suspensions

54
Q

What is a suspension?

A

A type of heterogenous mixture where the particles are large enough to settle out.

55
Q

What is a colloid?

A

A type of heterogenous mixture with particles smaller than those in a suspension and they don’t settle out.

56
Q

What is the Tyndall Effect?

A

scattering of light as it passes through a heterogenous mixture

57
Q

What is a homogenous mixture?

A

Appears to be in uniform composition even under the most powerful optical microscope. Because the components are so evenly distributed throughout the sample there is only one phase. The particles are so small, they stay suspended.

58
Q

What is an alloy?

A

A solution of metals

59
Q

What are the two parts to every solution?

A

Solute and solvent

60
Q

What is the solute?

A

The substance being dissolved into something else, has least mass in the solution.

61
Q

What is the solvent?

A

The substance that does the dissolving, has most mass of any component.

62
Q

What is a pure substance?

A

a particular kind of matter with a definite and uniform composition.

63
Q

What are the types of pure substances?

A

elements, atoms, compounds

64
Q

What is an element?

A

a pure substance that contains only one type of atom. Simplest form of matter that exists under normal lab conditions.

65
Q

What are atoms?

A

the simplest form of matter that retains the identity of that substance, the smallest part of an element that retains the identity of that element.

66
Q

What are compounds?

A

Pure substances composed of more than one atom. They are chemically combined or bonded and can be separated into simpler substances in a chemical reaction.

67
Q

What are the examples of solutions?

A

solid/solid-alloy
solid/liquid-salt water
gas/gas-air
liquid/liquid-anti-freeze

68
Q

What is separation?

A

separating matter into simpler components

69
Q

What is filtering?

A

Separates solids from liquids, like a coffee filter

70
Q

What is decant?

A

Pouring off something (wine decanter)

71
Q

What is evaporation?

A

To remove a solvent from a solute.

72
Q

What is distillation?

A

Separating based on boiling points.

73
Q

What is chromatography?

A

Used to differentiate between homogenous and heterogenous mixtures.

74
Q

What is a sieve?

A

Separates based on volume (strainer)

75
Q

What are magnets?

A

Separate based on magnetism.

76
Q

What is a centrifuge?

A

Separates based on density, more dense objects go to bottom
