Final Flashcards
Define purpose of an experiment
A 2-3 sentence summary of what you want to find out by conducting the experiment or the question that the experiment will answer
Independent Variable
What you change
Dependent Variable
What you measure, depends on what you change
Controlled Variable
Constant, what stays the same
Conclusion of an experiment
Summarize how your results support or contradict your original hypothesis
Density formula
D=m/v
Metric system acronyms
King kilo Henry hecta Died deka By base (m, l, g) Drinking deci Chocolate centi Milk milli
Convert from celsius to kelvin
C+273
Convert from celsius to fahrenheit
(9/5)(C)+32=F
Convert Fahrenheit to celsius
(5/9)(F-32)=C
Accuracy
how close a measurement is to its standard or known value
Precision
how close two or more measurements are to each other, regardless whether those measurements are accurate or not
X axis is independent or dependent variable
independent variable
Y axis is independent or dependent variable
dependent variable
Sig fig rules
- All digits 1-9 are significant.
- Zeros between 1-9 are significant. Ex: 5007
- Trailing zeros: counted for if decimal
- Zeros only to place decimal point are NOT significant Ex: 0.00025
- Zeros following a decimal sig fig are significant Ex: .470000
Chemical properties
properties that can be observed only when substances interact with one another
(Did you make something new?)
Examples of chemical properties
rust
explosion
oxidation reduction
Evidence of a chm rxn
change of color formation of ppt odor change in temp combustion
Physical properties
properties that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter
Examples of physical properties
texture mass volume length width height taste odor malleability flexibility viscosity hardness
Examples of physical changes
melting cut wood phase changes break glass color
Physical change
a change that effects only physical properties
Chemical change
a change that produces one or more substances
Element
cannot be further broken down by ordinary chemical means
Compound
combined chemically/ two or more elements chemically combined
Mixture
combined physically
Heterogeneous mixture
not the same throughout
Homogeneous mixture
same throughout
What are physical means to separate a mixture?
- evaporation
- chromatography
- distillation
- decantation
- filtration
- centrifuge
- chemical separation

Law of Conservation of Mass
mass cannot be created nor destroyed
proton charge, location, amu
+, nucleus, 1
neutron charge, location, amu
neutral, nucleus, 1
electron charge, location, amu
-, electron cloud, very small
parts of an atom?
proton, neutron, electron
STUDY SCIENTISTS
okay
STUDY DIATOMICS
okay
what is the mass number equal to
protons + neutrons
isotopes
have same number of electrons, just different # of neutrons/ two of same element w/ diff number of neutrons
atomic number
of protons/ identifies number on periodic table
of neutrons
mass # - atomic number
of electrons
equal to protons if the atom is a neutral atom
of protons
atomic number
ion
when theres a charge + or -
mass number then atomic number when you write the symbol
okay
