chem unit 3 Flashcards
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%
