Chapter 3 Flashcards
Physical forms in which all matter naturally exists on earth
States of Matter
Gaseous state of a substance that is a liquid or a solid at room temperature
Vapor
Characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the samples composition
Physical Property
Physical property that is dependent upon the amount of substance pressure
Extensive Property
Physical property that remains the same no matter how much substance is present
Intensive Property
Ability or inability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more new substances
Chemical Property
Change that alters a substance without changing composition
Physical Change
Transition of matter from one state to another
Phase Change
One or more substances changing into new substances
Chemical Change
States that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but is conserved
Law of Conservation of Mass
Physical blend of two or more pure substances in any proportion in which each substance retains properties
Mixture
Does not have a uniform composition and substance remains distinct
Heterogeneous Mixture
Has uniform composition throughout and has a single phase
Homogeneous Mixture
Uniform mixture that contains solids, liquids, or gases
Solution
Technique uses porous barrier to separate solids from liquids
Filtration
