Chemistry Flashcards
anything that has mass and occupies space
matter
amount of matter contained in an object
mass
amount of space occupied by matter
volume
4th state of matter, also called liquid crystal, mesophase, supercritical fluid
plasma
this is strongly influenced by electric and magnetic fields with a hot ionized gas consisting of approximately equal numbers of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons
plasma
5th state of matter, also called a super atom, and has many properties of a super fluid
bose-einstein condensate
m/v
density
density of water
1 g/ml=1 g/cm³=1000 kg/m³
ratio of the density of a sample and the density of a reference substance
specific gravity (unitless quantity)
specific gravity formula
SG=tsample/treference
ratio between the weights of equal volumes of a sample and water
apparent specific gravity
formula for apparent specific gravity
SGapparent=Wsample/Wwater
ratio between the weights in a vacuum of equal volumes of a sample and water
true specific gravity
formula for true specific gravity
SGtrue=Wvsample/Wvwater
Specific Volume
SV=1/SG
when H2O freezes the volume that the same mass of H2O occupies increases because
the molecules become more highly organized
highly organized molecules mean
increase in volume, decrease in density
ability to float
buoyancy
ability to be drawn out into wires
ductility
ability to be hammered into sheets
malleability
ability to return to its original shape after being deformed
elasticity
ability to resist flow
viscosity
measure of disorder of a thermodyamic system
entropy
amount of energy stored in an object
energy
