Volume and density
Equation for converting Celsius to kelvin
K=t(c)+273.15
Equation for converting Kelvin to Celsius
C=t(k)-273.15
Tells how close the individual measurements are to each other.
Precision
Describes how close the measurement is to the accepted value
Accuracy
Proposed explanation for an observation
Hypothesis
Tested explanation for a broad set of observations.
Theory
Standard use for comparison
Control
Variable that is manipulated
Independent variable
Variable that is observed, responds to independent variable.
Dependent variable
Equation of the error and percent error
Error=experimental-accepted
Percent error= error/accepted x 100
Ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change. Examples.
Chemical property
- decomposition
- rust
- acid
- water
- combustion
Quality of a substance that can be observed without changing the substances composition.Example.
Physical property
- hardness
- color
- conductivity
- malleability
Change that produces matter with a different result than the original matter. Examples.
Chemical change
- color change
- light or energy involved
Properties of a material change, but the composition of the material doesn’t.
Physical change
- dissolving
- changes in state
Depends of the type in a sample, NOT the amount of matter.
Intensive property
- density
- absorbency
Dependent upon the amount of matter in a sample.examples.
Extensive property
- mass
- volume
- length

List the four postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory.
- All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms of the same element are identical. The atoms of one element are different from those of any other element.
- Atoms combine in simple whole # ratios.
- In a reaction, atoms are rearranged but they are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction.
Describe rutherford’s experiment
- concluded there must be a particle in the nucleus carrying a charge equal but opposite of the electron that was called a proton.
- concluded that the atoms was mostly empty space.
