qualitative quantity
non-numerical info
quantitative quantity
numerical info
physical property
property that can be found without creating new substances
chemical property
the ability of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction and change into a new substance, either by itself or with other substances
Dif between atom and molecule
atom- smaller possible unit of an element which retains the fundamental properties of the element. molecule- cluster of 2 or more atoms, held together strongly by electrical forces
homogenous mixture
substance consisting of only 1 phase
heterogenous mixture
substance consisting of more than 1 phase
solvent
the part of a solution that exists in a greater quantity
solute
the component in a solution which exists in a smaller quantity
what part of mixture is called the residue after filtration
the leftovers in the filter paper
what part of mixture is called filtrate after filtration
the liquid at the bottom
what kind of mixtures can you separate using evaporation
liquids with dissolved solids
what is dif between evaporation and distillation
evaporation- to separate dissolved solids from liquids (does not retain liquid portion)
distillation- separation technique based on differences in boiling points.
what’s lab ethanol and why shouldn’t you drink it
there could be methanol in it. you’ll go blind and then you’ll die.
what is equipment used in gravity separation called
centrifuge
what property of matter does chromatography use to separate mixtures
differential solubility
what is wrong with a calculated RF value of 1.2?
RF is rate of distance travelled by the solute/ rate of distance travelled by the solvent, and the solvent always travels farther than the solute.
on a temp vs time graph, what’s happening when the graph is sloping?
temp increases as more heat is added to the system
on a temp vs time graph, what’s happening when graph is flat?
for a period of time, the temperature remains constant even as heat is being added.
