Chemistry Test On Everything Flashcards
What does EXOTHERMIC reactions mean
Temperature increase
What does endothermic reactions mean
Temperature decrease
What’s neutralisation include
Formation of a salt
What does effervescence reactions include
Gas been given off
Can a physical change and a chemical change be reversed
A physical change can be reversed but a chemical change can not be reversed
What are examples of a physical change
Boiling water Melting ice Diluting juice with water Breaking glass Filtering sand from water Separating alcohol from water by distilling
What are the signs of a chemical reaction
Colour change
Change in energy
What are the examples of a chemical reaction
Frying an egg
Toasting bread
Rust on a car
Adding sodium to water
What is a mixture
A mixture is when two or more substances are mixed together but have not actually joined together and reacted mixtures can usually be separated easily
How do compounds form
Compounds are formed when elements react together. Compounds can have different properties to the elements that make them up
Are compounds easy or hard to separate
Compounds are hard to separate into their elements
What does ‘ide’ mean in elements
If a compound has ide, it contains two types of elements
E.g. Sodium chloride - NaCl
Iron oxide - FeO
What does ‘ite’ and ‘ate’ mean in elements
If a compound ends in ‘ite’ and ‘ate’, it contains two types of element plus it also contains oxygen
E.g. Sodium chlorate - Sodium chlorine oxygen
Iron sulphate - iron sulphur oxygen
What’s a physical change
Substances may seem different, but the way the atoms link up is the same. It changes shape or size. It dissolves. It changes phase (freezes,boils,evaporation,condenses)
What is a chemical change
Changes the way the atoms link up. Makes new substances. Change in colour. Temperature change (increases or decrease). Gas given off (effervent). Formation of a solid
What are compounds
Compounds are formed when two or more elements chemically join together (bonded). The different types of atoms becomes together.
What is a mixture
Mixtures are formed when two or more different substances come together but without chemically joining. These different substances may be elements or compounds
What does exothermic mean
Heat energy given out (exit) to its surrounding (temperature increase)
What does endothermic mean
Heat energy taken it (enter) the reaction from the surroundings (temperature decrease)
What does diatomic mean
Only contains 2 atoms
What does solute mean
Solid part if the solution
What does solution mean
The combined solvent and solute
What does solvent mean
Liquid part of the solution e.g. Water
What does Saturated soluction mean
A solution where no more solute can dissolve
What does Aquaus mean
When something has dissolved in water e.g. salt water
What are Distillations
Technique used to separate a mixture of liquid using their boiling points
What is alloy
A compound of metals
What is filteration
Separation Technique used for separating a liquid and a solid
What are reactants
These are chemicals that are reacting with each other
What’s an independent variable
What is being changed
What’s an dependant variable
What you are measuring (depends if the independent or changes as a result of independence)
What are control variables
Things you keep the same so you can figure what is different
E.g. Magnesium. Copper. Zinc
0.1 acid. 0.1 acid. 0.1 acid
Mass of. Mass of Mass of
Metal Metal. Metal
You keep everything the same but change the metal
What is a fair test
Changing one thing, keeping everything else the same
What are enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts. They help the reactions that occur in our bodies by controlling the rate of reaction.
What is denature
Changes shape so it decrease reaction rate
What are catalysts
Substances which speed up a chemical reaction without being used up (they can be recovered)
What is activation energy
Energy required to start a reaction
What is homogenous catalyst
A catalyst in the same state as the reactions
What is a heterogenous catalyst
A catalyst in a different state as the reactants
What’s an isotope
An element which has the same protons but different neutrons
What are ions
Charged particles
What is a molecule
Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
What is a covalent bond
Bond between non-metals where pairs of electrons are shared
What is a ionic formulae
The ionic formula of a compound shows the charges on the ions
What is electricity
Electricity is a flow of charged particles
What are atoms
The smaller part of an element that can exist. (electron,proton,neutrons make up an atom)
What are some key definitions for soluble,solution,solvent
If something is soluble you can dissolve it to make a solution. The substance that gets dissolved is called the solute. The substance that does the dissolving is called the solvent. If something is insoluble it cannot be dissolved by the solvent
