CHEM EXAM!! Flashcards
What is density?
The amount of space (volume) and object takes up in relations to how many particles (mass) is in the object.
Precision
Degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same results.
Accuracy
Degree of closeness of a quantity to the actual (true) value.
What is mass?
A quantity which measures how much matter or particles are inside a certain object. Measure of the “insides” of something
What is volume?
The amount of space that an object takes up. Its what contains the elemnts and parts of that object.
Metric conversions prefixes
M-mega 10^6, k-kilo 10^3, h-hecto 10^2, da-deca 10^1, B-base, d-deci 10^-1, c-centi 10^-2, m-milli 10^-3, u-micro 10^-6, n-nano 10^-9
Whats an volumetric flask?
Flask with round sides
What is molar mass?
The mass of 1 mole of any chemical compound or element. 6.02x10^23 molecules, atoms, etc. Each atom times the mass on there periodic table, then add all together.
Erlenmeyer flask
Flask with straight sides
What is PASS?
P-pull pin
A-aim at base of fire
S-squezze
S-sweep back and forth
What can you observe in a physical change?
1: State 2: Shape 3:Size
Chemical property
Can be observed by changing the identity of the substance.
Physical change
Changes form of the substance without changing the identity. Chemical properties stay the same.
What can you observe in a chemical change?
light, heat, cooling, color, odor, bubbles, solid, smoke
What is an Alloy?
homogeneous mixture of metals
Element
composed of a single atom ( smallest particle of an element will obtain all of its properties)
Compounds:
Composed of two or more elements combined together in a specific ratio
Physical property
Can be observed without changing the identity of a substance.
Chemical change
Changes the identity of a substance. Products have different properties.
Homogeneous mixture:
uniform in composition every portion is like every portion (solution)
`Observation
Anything you know based on your five senses.
Inference
An educated guess based on your five senses.
Heterogeneous mixture:
composition varies from position to position
Cation
positive charge
Exothermic
Gives off heat energy. Ex: hand warmers
Endothermic
Uses heat energy Ex: ice pack
Solute
A substance dissolved in a solution. Ex: Salt
Solvent
Substance that dissolves a solute. Ex: water
Solution
Homogenous mixture that may contain solid, liquid, gas.
Filtrate
Material, usually liquid, that has passed through a filter.
Precipitate
Formation of a solid in a solution.
Law of conservation of mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed, only changed.
Anion
negative charge
