Class Test 1 Flashcards
Chemistry
is the study of properties and behavior of matter
matter
is the physical material of the universe, and is to do with anything that has mass and occupies space
SI units
of mass are in grams
volume is in cubic meters Eg: 1000m = 1.1x10^3
all measurements in chemistry can be shortened in matter of standard form
matter is classified on?
physical state, and its composition
gas
- has no fixed volume
- can be compressed or expanded
- molecules are fall apart and move at high speeds colliding with one another within the walls of the container
liquid
- has distinct volume
- assumes shape of container
- molecules are packed closely but can still move rapidly - this movement allows the molecules to flow out easily
solid
- definite shape and volume
- molecules held tightly in arrangement
- stay in fixed positions
mixture
is a combination of two or more substances in which each substances remain its chemical identity (properties)
properties of matter
can be categized as physical or chemical. the physical properties can be observed without changing the identity or composition of the substance
-chemical properties describe the way a substance may change or react to form out substances
extensive properties
do not depend on the amount of the sample being examined, eg; mass
intensive properties
depend on amount of sample being examined
chemical change
also called a chemical reaction is when a substance is transformed into a chemically different substance
heating curve substances
solid to gas (sublimation)
gas to solid (deposition)
diffusion
a substances movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a lower concentration
increase volume - decreased pressure
increased volume - increased pressure
separation techniques
- filtration
- separation funnel
- distillation
- functional distillation
- chromogarphy
