1
Q

Chemistry

A

the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.

16
Q

melting

A

is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid

17
Q

vaporization

A

of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor.

18
Q

Condensation

A

is the process of a substance in a gaseous state transforming into a liquid state

19
Q

sublimation

A

is the phase transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

20
Q

Deposition

A

s a process where a gas changes phase and turns directly in solid without passing through the liquid phase

21
Q

Substance

A

is matter which has a specific composition and specific properties.

Q

Chemical Symbol

A

a code for chemical

A

has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout

27
Q

solution

A

a liquid mixture in which the minor component

28
Q

Heterogeneous Mixture

A

that composes of components that aren’t uniform or they have localized regions that all have different properties

29
Q

Filtration

A

is any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that separate solids from fluids by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass.

30
Q

Distillation

A

the action of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling.

31
Q

Chemical Reaction

Q

Precipitate

A

typically one that is bad or undesirable to happen suddenly, unexpectedly, or prematurely.

35
Q

Law of Conservation of Mass

A

states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
