Q

Heat energy:

A

In order for a substance to change state (from a solid to a liquid, or liquid to a gas) it needs heat energy.

Q

Latent heat:

A

As a substance changes state, it uses latent heat. There is no change to temperature, but the state of the material changes.

Q

Boiling point:

Q

Diffusion:

A

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, e.g. spray perfume in one corner of the room, and it spreads to the rest of the room.

16
Q

Mixture:

A

A mixture consists of two or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined, e.g. sand and water.

There are four methods of separating mixtures:
Filtration.
Evaporation.
Distillation.
Chromatography.

17
Q

Filtration:

A

Used to separate small insoluble solids (do not dissolve in liquid) from a liquid by using filter paper and a funnel to trap the solids

18
Q

Evaporation:

A

Used to separate soluble solids (dissolve in liquids) from a solution by evaporating off the liquid to leave the solids. E.g. salt water.

19
Q

Physical Change

A

No change in particles, just the particle arrangement and energy, easy to
reverse e.g. mixing water and salt.

20
Q

Chemical Change:

A

A chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed, very
difficult to reverse e.g. burning a match

21
Q

During a Chemical Reaction

A

During a chemical reaction the atoms rearrange to form a new substance. Might be
seen by colour change, temperature change, light being emitted or bubbles.

22
Q

Law of Conservation of Mass

A

Matter can be changed from one form to another. During the physical and chemical changes, there is no overall change in mass.

23
Q

Distillation

A

Used to separate two liquids with different boiling points such as alcohol (boils at 78º) and water (boils at 100º). Also used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid (e.g. seawater) to give a pure example of each.

24
Q

Chromatography

A

Used to separate a mixture of dissolved substances in a solution. E.g. the different colours in a black marker.

25
Q

Insoluble

A

does not dissolve in a liquid

26
Q

Soluble

A

dissolves in a liquid

27
Q

Miscible

A

Liquids that mix together e.g. alcohol and water

28
Q

Liebig condenser

A

piece of equipment used in distillation in which cool water flows to condense steam to water

29
Q

Distillate

A

clean water at the end of distillation

30
Q

Residue

A

the soil left in the filter paper after filtration

31
Q

Solvent

A

the liquid that a solid is dissolved into

32
Q

Solute

A

The solid that is left behind after evaporation

33
Q

Chromatogram

A

chromatography paper with separated ink

34
Q

Reactant

A

chemicals that react together in a chemical reaction

35
Q

Products

A

the substances formed after a chemical reaction
