chem unit 3 Flashcards
(25 cards)
physical properties
qualities/characteristics that can be observed without changing chemicals make-up
Extensive
dependant on the amount of substance
intensive
independent on the amount
chemical properties
the ability to react with/form substance
physical changes
that alter a substance without changing its make-up
Ex: ripping paper
chemical changes
the process by which substance are in
Ex: burning
evidence of a chemical change
1) change in color
2)formation of a gas
3) bubbles and odor
4) change in temp
states of matter
solid, liquid, gas, plasma (sometimes)
Solid
- structure in rigid and closed-pack
- particles are fixed in place
-volume and shape are fixed
liquid
- particles in contact, bu not fixed positions
- flow, move
-define volume, but not definite shape. (takes shape of container)
Gas
- particles move freely
-lots of energy
-no fixed volume or shape
-expands to fill the container
-takes the shape of the container
Law of conservation of mass
matter is neither created nor destroyed in (ordinary) chemical or physical changes
General Equation
M reactants = M products
Law of definite proportions
a compound is always composed of the same element in the same proportion by mass
percent by mass equation
percent by mass= M element/ M compound X 100%
Law of multiple proportions
when different compounds are formed by the combination of the same element different masses of an other element in ratio of small whole numbers
mixtures
two or more substances are combined, but each pure substance retains its individual properties.
heterogeneous mixtures
Do not blend smoothly (does not mix together)
homogeneous mixtures
(also called solutions) have a single visible phase (mixes togther)
Filtration
used to separate mixtures of liquids (filtrate) and solids. Uses porous barrier (filter) to separate a solid from a liquid
EX: sand and water mixtures
Distillation
used to obtain a pure liquid from a mixture
Based on difference in boiling points- lowest boiling point liquid vaporize and vapor is collected
EX: purifying water
Crystallization
used to separate dissolved solids from a liquid in solutions
pure solid particles crystallized from saturated solutions
often the best way to obtain a pure solid
EX: rock candy
Chromatography
used to separate components of mixtures containing gases and/or liquids
Based on the ability of each component to travel or be drawn across a stationary phase
EX: ink on paper in water
sublimation
used to separate a substance that sublimates from one that does not Solid/ solid mixture
not widely used because few substance sublimates
EX: iodine and another solid
