Q

Heat energy

A

In order for a substance to change state (from a solid to a liquid, or liquid to gas) it needs heat energy. As a substance changes state, it uses latent heat. There is no change to temperature, but the state of the material changes.

Latent heat

A

As a substance changes state, it uses latent heat. There is no change to temperature, but the state of the material changes.

Q

Melting point

A

The melting point is when both the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from a solid to a liquid).

Q

Boiling point

A

The boiling point of a liquid is when evaporation begins to happen throughout the liquid (changing from a liquid to a gas).

Q

Diffusion

A

Diffusion is the movement of 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.

Q

Physical change

A

Physical change: no change in particles, just the particle arrangement and energy, easy to reverse e.g. mixing water and salt.

Q

Chemical change

A

Chemical change: A chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed, very difficult to reverse e.g. burning a match.

16
Q

During a chemical reaction

A

During a chemical reaction the atoms rearrange to form a new substance. Mights be seen by colour change, temperature change, like being emitted or bubbles.

17
Q

Law of conservation of mass

A

Matter can be changed from one form to another. During physical and chemical changes, there is no overall change in mass.

18
Q

Mixture

A

A mixture consists of two or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined e.g. sand and water.

19
Q

There are four methods of separating mixtures:

A
  1. Filtration
  2. Evaporation
  3. Distillation
  4. Chromatography
20
Q

Filtration

A

Used to separate small insoluble
solids (do not dissolve in a liquid)
from a liquid by using filter paper
and a funnel to trap the solids. E.g. sand and water.

21
Q

Evaporation

A

Used to separate soluble solids
(dissolve in liquids) from a
solution by evaporating off the
liquid to leave the solids. E.g. salt water

22
Q

Distillation

A

Used to separate two liquids with different boiling points such as alcohol (boils at 78 degrees ) and water (boils at 100 degrees). Also used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid (e.g. seawater) to give a pure sample of each.

23
Q

Chromatography

A

Used to separate a mixture of dissolved substances in a solution. E.g. the different colours in a black marker.

24
Q

Insoluble

A

Does not dissolve in a liquid.

25
Q

Soluble

A

Dissolves in a liquid.

26
Q

Residue

A

The soil left in the filter paper after filtration.

27
Q

Filtrate

A

The clean water that comes after filtration.

28
Q

Solvent

A

The liquid that a solid is dissolved into.

29
Q

Solute

A

The solid that is left behind after evaporation.

30
Q

Miscible

A

Liquids that mix together e.g. alcohol and water

31
Q

Liebig condenser

A

Piece of equipment used in distillation in which cool water flows to condense steam to water.

32
Q

Distillate

A

Clean water at the end of distillation.

33
Q

Chromatogram

A

Chromatography paper with separated ink.

34
Q

Reactant

A

Chemicals that react together in a chemical reaction.

35
Q

Products

A

The substances formed after a chemical reaction.
