chemistry] Flashcards
What is an element?
Substances that are made up of only one type of atom
What is a compound?
Substances made up of 2 or more types of atoms chemically bonded together and in a fixed ratio
What are some examples of compounds?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20)
What elements are in the compound magnesium bromide?
Magnesium and bromine
If the name of a compound ends in “ate”, what does it have?
Oxygen (Sodium carbonate is sodium, carbon and oxygen)
What is a mixture?
A substance made up of two or more elements not chemically joined together and in a ratio which varies
Can mixtures be seperated?
Yes
What is simple distillation?
LIquid with a lower boiling point evaporates, rises as a gas, then condenses as it cools in the condenser, before dripping into the second container as distillate
What is filtration?
Mixture is poured onto filter paper which is on a funnel leading into a conical flask. Solid is left behind on the filter paper as residue and the liquid passes through into the conical flask as filtrate.
Which type of mixture would you use in filtration?
A mixture with a solid and liquid (Sand water)
What is diffusion?
Net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration
Why do the particles in diffusion go in a random order?
As the particles constantly collide with eachother, therefore frequently changing direction and speed as energy is transferred between them.
What happens when the particles in diffusion are at a high temperature?
Diffusion happens quicker as the particles move faster due to them having more kinetic energy
Hydrogen chloride + Ammonia –> ?
Hydrogen chloride + Ammonia –> Ammonium chloride
Do lighter particles diffuse faster than heavier particles?
Yes, ammonia is lighter than hydrogen so it travels faster in the same amount of time meaning it can diffuse faster.
How does a solution form?
When a solute dissolves in a solvent
