melting
name the process of gas to solid
deposition
name the process of solid to gas
sublimation
Characteristics of physical change
Create no new substances
Usually reversible
Absorb or release small amount of energy
e.g melting ice in beaker
Characteristics of chemical change
Creates new substances
Usually irreversible
Absorb or release large amount of energy
e.g burning wood on the floor
Describe a chemical test for the presence of water
anhydrous copper sulphate turns from white to blue
Describe a physical test to show whether a sample of water is pure
Measure its boiling and freezing point (100C and 0C)
Properties of Magnesium
Grey solid shiny
Not magnetic
Malleable
Electrical conductor
Properties of Zinc
small grey solid
not magnetic
malleable
electrical conductor
properties of iron
small grey solid
It is magnetic
malleable
electrical conductor
What are the properties of metals
High melting/boiling point
Electrical conductor
Malleable
Shiny
Properties of non metals
Low mp/bp
electrical insulator
brittle
dull
dangers of liquid nitrogen
extremely cold - -178C
asphyxiation - too much can remove oxygen in air
too much pressure can cause explosions
Define element
substance which contains only 1 type of atom
define compound
2 or more elements chemically joined together/combined. They always combine in fixed proportions.
define mixture
compound made of two or more elements that are not chemically linked.
Define solute
The substance which is going to be dissolved
Define solvent
The liquid which is going to do the dissolving
define solution
The resulting mixture of solute dissolved in solvent
define suspension
A solid floating in a liquid because it cannot dissolve
define saturated solution
A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved
