CHAPTER 3: MATTER AND ENERGY Flashcards
• is the material that makes up all things.
• is anything that has mass and occupies space.
Matter
Matter is classified according to its composition:
• Pure substances
• Mixtures
have a fixed or definite
composition.
Pure Substance
contain two or more different
substances that are physically mixed but not
chemically combined.
Mixtures
contain two or more different
substances that are physically mixed but not
chemically combined.
are pure substances that contain only one type of material,
Elements
example of elements
• copper, Cu
• lead, Pb
• aluminum, Al
contains two
or more elements in a
definite ratio,
compound
example of compoundfollowing:
• hydrogen peroxide (H2O2
)
• table salt (NaCl)
• sugar (C12H22O11)
• water (H2O)
is a compound that contains the elements sodium and chlorine.
“Table salt”
The decomposition of salt, NaCl
produces the elements sodium and chlorine
a type of
matter that consists of
• two or more substances
that are physically mixed
but not chemically
combined.
• two or more substances
in different proportions.
• substances that can be
separated
mixtue
two or more substances
that are physically mixed
but
not chemically
combined
A mixture of a liquid
and a solid is separated
by
filtration.
• the composition is uniform throughout.
• the different parts of the mixture are not visible.
homogeneous mixture
a homogeneous mixture of
copper and zinc atoms.
Brass
Breathing mixtures for scuba are
homogeneous mixtures
Example of Breathing Mixtures for Scuba Diving
• nitrox (oxygen and nitrogen gases)
• heliox (oxygen and helium gases)
• trimix (oxygen, helium, and
nitrogen gases)
used
to fill scuba tanks
Nitrox Mixture
• the composition varies from one part of the mixture to another.
• the different parts of the mixture are visible.
