final Flashcards
what are the rules used to test a claim?
falsifiability
logic
replicability
sufficiency
the Law of Conservation of Mass
- the mass of a system is conserved in a chemcal reaction
- matter cannot be created or destroyed
- atoms are conserved in chemical reactions
the ability to recycle aluminum (or glass, or plastic) is an example of
the Law of the Conservation of Mass
what does NOT occur in a chemical reaction
atoms are changed into other atoms
what DOES occur in a chemical reaction
- atoms react with other atoms
- matter is rearranged
- matter is conserved
John Dalon discovered which law
The Law of Multiple Proportions
atoms of the same element that have different masses are called
isotopes
one mole of carbon is equal to
12.011 grams of carbon
6.022 x 10^23 atoms of carbon
Avogadro’s number of atoms
the atomic masses for elements are
relative masses determined by comparison with a standard reference
the periodic table is helpful with what
- predicting chemical reactivity of elements
- predicting physical properties of elements
- predicting formulas of compounds
the “box” for an element on the periodic table will include what information about the element
- its atomic mass
- its atomic number
- its atomic symbol
cathode
negatively charged electrode
mixture
two or more substances
the substances retain their identities
they don’t change change chemically; they simply mix
gay- lussac’s law
the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature
boyle’s law
for a given amount of gas at a constant temp, the volume of the gas varies inversely with its pressure
