Q

Ways to separate the components of a mixture

A

Centrifugation - blood samples are placed in centrifuge tubes and subjected to forces about 1000 times the force of gravity,- causes large dense red blood cells to settle to the bottom of tubes

Electrophoresis- separation of proteins based on whether they are positively negatively or have no net charge. The negative charge proteins are separate mostly by molecular size smaller molecules, move faster than larger ones.

What is the framework for solving problems that the book uses with the acronym COAST
collect, organized, analyze, solve, think about the answer
27
A property that is independent of the amount of substance present
Intensive- Color, hardness, malleability, melting point, boiling point
28
A property that varies with the quantity of the substance present

Physical property
30
The ratio of the mass of an object to its volume
D=m/v DENSITY
31
A property of a substance that can be observed only by reacting it to form another substance
Chemical property Ex high flammability Rates of its reactions, identities of other substances with which area reacts, the products they form, define the chemical properties of the substance
32
33
What is the difference between a chemical and a physical property?
A chemical property changes the substance into another substance whereas a physical property changes the state of matter of the substance from solid to liquid to gas, etc. A chemical property actually changes the chemical make up of the element.
34
A form of matter that has a definite volume and shape
Solid
35
A form of matter that occupies a definite volume, but flows to assume the shape of its container
Liquid
36
A form of matter that has neither definite volume nor shape, and that expands to fill his container
Gas, also called vapor!
37
The transformation of solid directly to vapor without passing through the liquid stage
Sublimation
38
The reverse process in which a gas (water vapor) is transformed directly into a solid without passing the liquid stage going straight to Frost
Deposition
39

Sublimation
44
Transformation of a vapor/gas directly into a solid?
Deposition
45
An approach to acquiring knowledge based on observation of phenomena, development of a testable hypothesis, and additional experiments that test the validity of the hypothesis
Scientific method
46
A tentative and testable explanation for an observation or a series of observations
Hypothesis
47
A general explanation of a widely observed phenomenon that has been extensively, tested, and validated
Scientific theory (model)
48
Mother Earth Father Sky
Dane and Greeks believe that the beginning of time there was no matter only a vast emptiness they called chaos and that from the emptiness emerged GAIA, (also known as Mother Earth) the first supreme being, who gave birth to URANUS, (Father Sky)
49
Einstein’s formula for energy
E=mc^2 E- energy M- the equivalent mass of matter C- the speed of light
50
British astronomer that first used the term Big Bang
Sir Fred Hoyle
51
Who proposed the first standard unit of length which they called the meter?
1791 French scientists
52
What was named after the Greek metron, which means “measure”?
Meter (m)
53
1/10,000,000 of the distance, along an imaginary line running from the north pole to the equator
The length of the meter
54
SI unit for volume
Cubic meter M^3
55
SI unit for speed
Meters per second M/s
56
One cubic decimeter (A cube 1/10 meter on each side)
Liter
57
How do we express the densities of gases with SI units
Grams/liter (g/L)
58
59
Liquids are hundreds of times denser than gases so their densities are often expressed in?
g/cm^3 Grams per cubic centimeter Which is equivalent to grams per milliliter g/mL
60
61
Solids have densities that are comparable to a greater than those of most liquids so their values are expressed in what SI units?
Grams per cubic centimeter g/cm^3

Always
70
Our zeros at the end of a value that contains no decimal point significant?
May or may not be If the zeros are only there to hold a place, we should use scientific notation to express the number
71
What is the calculation for density?
Density = mass / volume
72
What is the weak-link principal?
