Chemistry Flashcards
Matter
Anything that occupies space and had mass
Mass
Is the amount of matter in a object
3 states of matter
Solids liquids and gasses
Property of solids
Solids have a definite shape,volume,solids can not be compressed and can’t flow
Properties of liquid
Liquid
Melting point
Is when both the solid and liquid state exist together changing form solid to liquid
Boiling point
Of a liquid is when evaporation begins to happen thought out the liquid changing form liquid to gas
Condensation
Is changing of a gas to a liquid
Diffusion
Is the movement of the particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration e.g. spray perfume in one corner of the room,and it spreads to the rest of the room
Plasma
Is the fourth state of matter,like gas,but can conduct electricity
Physical change
No change in particles just the particle arrangement and Energy easy to reverse e.g. mixing water and slat
Chemical change
A chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed, very difficult to reverse e.g. burning a match
During a chemical reaction
The atoms rearrange to form a new substance. Might be seen by colour change,light being emitted or bubbles
Law of conservation of mass
Matter can be changed from one form to another.During physical and chemical change, there is no overall change in mass
Mixture
Consist of 2 or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined e.g. sand and water
Four methods Of separating mixtures
Filtration
Evaporation
Distillation
Chromatography
Filtration
Used to separate small insoluble solids(don’t dissolve this liquid) from a liquid by using filter paper and a funnel to Trap the solids e.g. sand an water
Evaporation
Used to separate soluble solids (dissolve in liquids)from a solution by evaporating off liquid to leave the solids. E.g. salt water
Distillation
Used to separate two liquids with different boiling points such as alcohol (boils at 78%) and water boils at 100 degrees also used to separate a soluble solid form the liquid (e.g. seawater) to give a pure sample of each
Chromatography
Used to separate a mixture of dissolved substances in a solution e.g. the different colours in a black maker
Insoluble
Does not dissolve in a liquid
Soluble
Dissolves in a liquid
Residue
The soil left in the filter paper after filtration
Filtrate
The clean water that comes after filtration
