Chapters 1-3 Flashcards
In a chemical reaction, the type of products obtained is largely determined by which part of the reacting chemicals?
Electrons
A golf ball had more mass than a tennis ball because it
Contains more matter
An example of an extensive property of matter is
Mass
What is a physical property of water?
It melts below room temperature
How do vapors and gases differ?
Generally, a gas is in the gaseous at room temperature and a vapor is in either the solid state or liquid state at room temperature
What is an example of a mixture?
Pure air
What is an example of a heterogeneous mixture?
Soil
Distillation
Separating a solid from a liquid by evaporating the liquid
What is an example of a homogenous mixture?
Stainless steel
Compounds
They are substances
More than 1 type of atom bonded together
Can be separated only by a chemical change
What are chemical properties?
Must undergo a change to determine
Physical property
Something that can be tested or measured without a chemical change
Examples of physical properties
Color
Melting/Boiling points
Hardness
Physical change
Changed physical appearance and not the molecule
Chemical change
Changed chemical structure
Substance
Something that is uniform throughout
When paper turns yellow-brown upon exposure to sunlight, what type of change is likely taking place?
Chemical change
What happens to mass during a chemical reaction?
Total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products
The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its
Accuracy
When a test instrument is calibrated, does its accuracy, precision, or reliability improve?
Accuracy
