Final Flashcards
Precision
Reflects how close the values In a set of measurements are to each other
Accuracy
How close the measured value is to the actual value
Conversions
K h d m d c m
Density formula
Mass/ volume= d
Percent error formula
Accepted value-experimental value/ accepted value x 100
Chemistry
The scientific study of matter and the changes that it undergoes
Scientific method
Ask a question Do background research Create a hypothesis Do an experiment Gather the data Form a conclusion
Matter
Anything that takes up space
Atom
Basic building block of matter
What 2 groups can matter be grouped into
Pure substances- type of matter with constant composition and properties throughout.
Mixtures- physical combination of 2 or more substances
Types of pure substances
Elements and compounds
Types of mixtures
Homogenous
Heterogenous
Homogenous
A Solution, mixed thoroughly and evenly
Heterogenous
Consists of visibly different substances
Element
A substance made of only one kind of atom
Compound
Made up of more than 1 type of atom
Molecule
Smallest particle of a compound
Colloid
A type of heterogenous mixture with a particle between a suspension and solution.
Tyndall effect
A colloid whose particles can’t be separates through filtration but scatter light
Emulsion
A colloidal dispersion of a liquid in either a liquid or a solid
Physical changes
Changes that do not alter the identity of a substance Some include.. Changes of state Separation of a mixture Deformation (cutting, bending) Making solutions
Chemical changes
Changes that occur when one substance is turned into another substance
Harder to reverse
Ex
Burning
