matter Flashcards
matter
its anything has mass and volume
mass
it is the amount of matter that body contains
volumei
it is the space that is occupied by the body
physical properties
the color taste smell
density
melting point
boiling point
hardness
electric conduction
thermal conduction
the color taste smell
color: silver gold iron
taste: table salt sugar flour
smell: vinegar perfume
density
it is the mass of the unit volume of the substance
d =m+v the measuring unit is gm/cm3
what is meant by the density of water equal 1gm/cm2
this means the mass of 1cm3 of water equals 1 gm
equal masses of different substances have different volumes
due to the difference in the density
v2-v1=v m2-m1= m
d =m- v v = m-d m= d+v
water is not used to put out petrol fires
b.c the density of petrol is less than the density of water so the fire float on the water surface
balloons filled with hydrogen or helium rise at festivals
b.c the density of hydrogen and helium are less than the density of air
melting point
It’s the temperature at which the matter begins to change from solid-state to liquid-state 0
low wax butter ice
high iron copper table salt aluminum
BOILING point
It’s the temperature at which the matter begins to change from liquid -state to gases-state 100
pots are made up from aluminium
due to their high melting point
workmen melt the solid metals
to be easy to mix and shape to form the alloy
copper gold nickel chrome
making jewels making heating coils
