Chapter 2 Flashcards
What is work?
any activity that requires energy
what is energy?
ability to do work
what are the two types of energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy
What is kinetic energy?
energy of motion
what is potential energy?
stored/inactive energy
What is heat? how fast are the particles?
thermal energy, the faster the particle the more thermal energy
What is the SI unit of energy and work?
Joules (J)
what is a calorie?
it is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g° of water by 1°C
1 calorie = __J, is it exact?
1 calorie= 4.184 J, yes it is exact
what is the coldest temperature on the Calvin scale called? what is it’s value in 0 °C?
absolute zero, 273 °C
1 K= __°C
1 K= 1°C
formula to convert °C to K?
K= ___+273
what is matter?
anything that has mass and takes up space
what is a pure substance?
matter with fixed or constant composition
what are the types of pure substances?
element and compund
what is an element?
an element is composed of only one kind of material/atom
what is a compound?
two or more chemically combined atom in the same proportions (atoms held together by bonds, therefore they can only be broken by chemical means)
what are atoms held together by?
attraction forces called bonds
how do you separate pure substances?
by chemical means, you cant separate them by physical means.
what is a mixture?
Two or more substances physically mixed, therefore physical processes can separate mixtures.
What are the classification of mixtures?
heterogeneous mixture and homogeneous mixture
what is a heterogeneous mixture?
a heterogeneous mixture doesn’t have a uniform composition.
what is a homogeneous mixture?
A homogeneous mixture is any mixture that is uniform in composition throughout. ex: solution
What does filtration separate? (states of matter)
mixtures, separates solids from liquids
